SectionInformation.InheritInChildApplications Property

.NET Framework 2.0

Note: This property is new in the .NET Framework version 2.0.

Gets or sets a value indicating whether the settings specified in the associated configuration section are inherited by applications that reside in a subdirectory of the application to which the associated configuration section applies.

Namespace: System.Configuration
Assembly: System.Configuration (in system.configuration.dll)

Syntax

C++

Copy

public bool InheritInChildApplications { get; set;

Copy

/** @property */
public boolean get_InheritInChildApplications ()

/** @property */
public void set_InheritInChildApplications (boolean value)

JScript

Copy

public function get InheritInChildApplications () : boolean

public function set InheritInChildApplications (value : boolean)

Property Value

true if the settings specified in this ConfigurationSection object are inherited by child applications; otherwise, false. The default is true.

Remarks

The InheritInChildApplications property represents the inheritInChildApplicationsattribute of a locationelement within a configuration file.

Set InheritInChildApplications to false to prevent settings that are specific to a certain location, such as the root directory of a Web site, from being inherited by applications that exist in subdirectories.

The following example shows how to use this attribute in a configuration file to specify that the settings defined in the location element for the root of a Web site should not be inherited by child applications:

<location path="." inheritInChildApplications="false">

The InheritInChildApplications property applies only to location-specific configuration settings.

Example

The following example shows how to get the InheritInChildApplications value of a ConfigurationSection object.

Copy

static public void GetInheritInChildApps()
{
    SectionInformation sInfo =
        GetSectionInformation();

    bool inheritInChildApps =
        sInfo.InheritInChildApplications;
    Console.WriteLine("Inherit in child apps: {0",
        inheritInChildApps.ToString());
