public static function OpenMappedExeConfiguration (
fileMap : ExeConfigurationFileMap,
userLevel : ConfigurationUserLevel
) : Configuration
Parameters
- fileMap
An ExeConfigurationFileMap object that references configuration file to use instead of the application default configuration file.
- userLevel
The ConfigurationUserLevel object for which you are opening the configuration.
Return Value
A Configuration object.
The ConfigurationUserLevel object determines the location of the configuration file being opened by indicating whether it has no user level (the configuration file is in the same directory as the application) or has a per-user level (the configuration file is in an application settings path determined by userLevel).

| To obtain the Configuration object for a resource, your code must have read privileges on all of the configuration files from which it inherits settings. To update a configuration file, your code must additionally have write privileges for both the configuration file and the directory in which it exists. |
The following code example shows how to use the OpenMappedExeConfiguration method to obtain all sections contained by the configuration file.
' Get all the sections in the mapped exe.config.
' Show how to use the
' GetMappedExeConfigurationSections(fileMap, userLevel) method.
Shared Sub GetMappedExeConfigurationSections()
' Get the machine.config file.
Dim fileMap As New ExeConfigurationFileMap()
' You may want to map to your own exe.comfig file here.
fileMap.ExeConfigFilename = _
"C:\test\ConfigurationManager.exe.config"
Dim config As System.Configuration.Configuration = _
ConfigurationManager.OpenMappedExeConfiguration(fileMap, _
ConfigurationUserLevel.None)
' Loop to get the sections. Display basic information.
Console.WriteLine("Name, Allow Definition")
Dim i As Integer = 0
Dim section As ConfigurationSection
For Each section In config.Sections
Console.WriteLine(( _
section.SectionInformation.Name + _
ControlChars.Tab + _
section.SectionInformation.AllowExeDefinition.ToString()))
i += 1
Next section
Console.WriteLine("[Total number of sections: {0]", i)
' Display machine.config path.
Console.WriteLine("[File path: {0]", config.FilePath)
End Sub 'GetMappedExeConfigurationSections
// Get all the sections in the mapped exe.config.
// Show how to use the
// GetMappedExeConfigurationSections(fileMap, userLevel) method.
static void GetMappedExeConfigurationSections()
{
// Get the machine.config file.
ExeConfigurationFileMap fileMap =
new ExeConfigurationFileMap();
// You may want to map to your own exe.comfig file here.
fileMap.ExeConfigFilename =
@"C:\test\ConfigurationManager.exe.config";
System.Configuration.Configuration config =
ConfigurationManager.OpenMappedExeConfiguration(fileMap,
