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

Gets the collection of locked elements.

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

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

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

The LockAllElementsExcept property allows you to lock all the elements at once, except for the one you specify.

NoteNote:

The LockAllElementsExcept 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 element itself and its child elements.

Examples

The following example shows how to use the LockAllElementsExcept property.

Visual Basic
' Show how to use LockAllElementsExcept.
' It locks and unlocks all the MyUrls elements 
' except urls.
Shared Sub LockAllElementsExcept()

    Try
        ' Get the current configuration file.

        ConfigurationUserLevel.None)

        ' Get the MyUrls section.
        Dim myUrlsSection As UrlsSection = _
        config.GetSection("MyUrls")

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

            lockElementEnum.MoveNext()

            If lockElementsExcept.Contains("urls") Then
