The following example gets the value of the Value property for each of the configuration attributes. This code example is part of a larger example provided for the ConfigurationAttribute class.

Visual Basic

Dim configAttributeCollection As ConfigurationAttributeCollection = manager.GetApplicationHostConfiguration.GetSection("system.web/anonymousIdentification").Attributes
Console.WriteLine(("There are " & configAttributeCollection.Count.ToString & " Configuration attributes."))
Dim attribute As ConfigurationAttribute = configAttributeCollection.Item(1)
Console.WriteLine(("metadata: " & attribute.GetMetadata("encryptionProvider")))
Dim configAttribute As ConfigurationAttribute
'' Display each configuration attribute with properties and metadata.
For Each configAttribute In configAttributeCollection
    Console.WriteLine(ChrW(9) & "{0}" & ChrW(9) & "{1}" & ChrW(9) & "{2}" & ChrW(9) & "{3}", New Object() {configAttribute.Name, configAttribute.Value, configAttribute.IsProtected, configAttribute.GetMetadata("encryptionProvider")})
Next

// Get the attributes again, after the commit changes.
Configuration config2 = manager.GetApplicationHostConfiguration();
configSection = config2.GetSection("system.web/anonymousIdentification");
configAttributeCollection = configSection.Attributes;
Console.WriteLine("There are " +
    configAttributeCollection.Count.ToString() +
    " Configuration attributes.");
attribute = configAttributeCollection[1];
Console.WriteLine("metadata: " +
    attribute.GetMetadata("encryptionProvider"));
// Display each configuration attribute with properties and metadata.
foreach (ConfigurationAttribute configAttribute in configAttributeCollection)
{
    Console.WriteLine("\t{0}\t{1}\t{2}\t{3}",
         configAttribute.Name,
         configAttribute.Value,
         configAttribute.IsProtected,
         configAttribute.GetMetadata("encryptionProvider"));
}
