Examples

The examples in this section show how to get the AllowOverride property value after accessing the related section information in the configuration file.

The following example gets the SectionInformation object.

Visual Basic


' Get the current configuration file.
Dim config _
As System.Configuration.Configuration = _
ConfigurationManager.OpenExeConfiguration( _
ConfigurationUserLevel.None)

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

Dim sInfo As SectionInformation = _
section.SectionInformation


// Get the current configuration file.
System.Configuration.Configuration config =
        ConfigurationManager.OpenExeConfiguration(
        ConfigurationUserLevel.None);

// Get the section.
UrlsSection section =
    (UrlsSection)config.GetSection("MyUrls");


SectionInformation sInfo =
    section.SectionInformation;

The following example gets the AllowOverride value.

Visual Basic


Dim allowOverride As Boolean = _
sInfo.AllowOverride
Console.WriteLine("Allow override: {0}", _
allowOverride.ToString())


bool allowOverride =
    sInfo.AllowOverride;
Console.WriteLine("Allow override: {0}",
               allowOverride.ToString());
