.NET Framework Class Library
ConfigurationElement..::.LockAllAttributesExcept Property

Gets the collection of locked attributes.

Namespace:  System.Configuration
Assembly:  System.Configuration (in System.Configuration.dll)
Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration)
Public ReadOnly Property LockAllAttributesExcept As ConfigurationLockCollection
Visual Basic (Usage)
Dim instance As ConfigurationElement
Dim value As ConfigurationLockCollection

value = instance.LockAllAttributesExcept
C#
public ConfigurationLockCollection LockAllAttributesExcept { get; }
Visual C++
public:
property ConfigurationLockCollection^ LockAllAttributesExcept {
    ConfigurationLockCollection^ get ();
}
JScript
public function get LockAllAttributesExcept () : ConfigurationLockCollection

Property Value

Type: System.Configuration..::.ConfigurationLockCollection
The ConfigurationLockCollection of locked attributes (properties) for the element.
Remarks

The LockAllAttributesExcept property allows you to lock all the attributes at once, with the exception of the one you specify. To do that, you use the Contains method, as explained in the Example section.

NoteNote:

The LockAllAttributesExcept property allows you to prevent the child configuration elements of the element to which you apply the rule from being modified. Use the LockItem property if you want to put a general lock on the parent element itself and its child elements.

Notes to Implementers:

If you use the LockAllAttributesExcept and LockAttributes properties at the same time, the most restrictive rule applies.

Examples

The following example shows how to use the LockAllAttributesExcept.

Visual Basic
' Show how to use LockAllAttributesExcept.
' It locks and unlocks all urls elements 
' except the port.

    Try

        Dim myUrlsSection As UrlsSection = _
        config.GetSection("MyUrls")

        If myUrlsSection Is Nothing Then
            Console.WriteLine("Failed to load UrlsSection.")
