An instance of the ConfigurationLocation class represents a single location element within a configuration file. Locations are used to specify configuration settings that apply only to a specified resource, such as a specific page, file, or subdirectory, within your Web application. Use the ConfigurationLocation class to obtain the path and the Configuration object that applies to the specified resource.

In the following code example, the Web configuration for the application MySampleApp is loaded, and then the locations defined in the configuration are displayed.


using System;
using System.Collections;
using System.Configuration;

class DisplayLocationInfo
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        Configuration config = 
            ConfigurationManager.OpenExeConfiguration(ConfigurationUserLevel.None);
        ConfigurationLocationCollection myLocationCollection = config.Locations;
        foreach (ConfigurationLocation myLocation in myLocationCollection)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Location Path: {0}", myLocation.Path);
            Configuration myLocationConfiguration = myLocation.OpenConfiguration();
            Console.WriteLine("Location Configuration File Path: {0}",
                myLocationConfiguration.FilePath);
        }
        Console.WriteLine("Done...");
        Console.ReadLine();
    }
}
