JScript does not support indexed properties.
This property gets the specified entry of the ConfigurationSectionCollection object.
In C#, this property is the indexer for the ConfigurationSectionCollection class.
The following code example shows how to use Item.
Shared Sub GetItems()
Try
Dim config _
As System.Configuration.Configuration = _
ConfigurationManager.OpenExeConfiguration( _
ConfigurationUserLevel.None)
Dim sections _
As ConfigurationSectionCollection = _
config.Sections
Dim section1 As ConfigurationSection = _
sections.Item("runtime")
Dim section2 As ConfigurationSection = _
sections.Item(0)
Console.WriteLine("Section1: {0}", _
section1.SectionInformation.Name)
Console.WriteLine("Section2: {0}", _
section2.SectionInformation.Name)
Catch err As ConfigurationErrorsException
Console.WriteLine(err.ToString())
End Try
End Sub 'GetItems
static void GetItems()
{
try
{
System.Configuration.Configuration config =
ConfigurationManager.OpenExeConfiguration(
ConfigurationUserLevel.None);
ConfigurationSectionCollection sections =
config.Sections;
ConfigurationSection section1 =
sections["runtime"];
ConfigurationSection section2 =
sections[0];
Console.WriteLine(
"Section1: {0}", section1.SectionInformation.Name);
Console.WriteLine(
"Section2: {0}", section2.SectionInformation.Name);
}
catch (ConfigurationErrorsException err)
{
Console.WriteLine(err.ToString());
}
}
