Implemented by all configuration section handlers to parse the XML of the configuration section. The returned object is added to the configuration collection and is accessed by GetConfig.

[Visual Basic]
Function Create( _
   ByVal parent As Object, _
   ByVal configContext As Object, _
   ByVal section As XmlNode _
) As Object
[C#]
object Create(
   object parent,
 object configContext,
 XmlNode section
);
[C++]
Object* Create(
   Object* parent,
 Object* configContext,
 XmlNode* section
);
[JScript]
function Create(
   parent : Object,
 configContext : Object,
 section : XmlNode
) : Object;

Parameters

parent

The configuration settings in a corresponding parent configuration section.

configContext

An HttpConfigurationContext when Create is called from the ASP.NET configuration system. Otherwise, this parameter is reserved and is a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).

section

The XmlNode that contains the configuration information from the configuration file. Provides direct access to the XML contents of the configuration section.

Return Value

A configuration object.

Remarks

You should not directly return a value type from Create. A value return type will be boxed as an object type that is a reference to the original value type field. A malicious user could obtain the reference to the value type and change the original value. Always clone value type variables that will be boxed as object return types.

Requirements

Platforms: Windows 98, Windows NT 4.0, Windows Millennium Edition, Windows 2000, Windows XP Home Edition, Windows XP Professional, Windows Server 2003 family
