Namespace: System.Configuration
Assembly: System.Configuration (in system.configuration.dll)
Syntax
Visual Basic (Declaration)
Public Property InheritInChildApplications As Boolean
Dim instance As SectionInformation
Dim value As Boolean
value = instance.InheritInChildApplications
instance.InheritInChildApplications = value
public bool InheritInChildApplications { get; set;
public:
property bool InheritInChildApplications {
bool get ();
void set (bool value);
/** @property */
public boolean get_InheritInChildApplications ()
/** @property */
public void set_InheritInChildApplications (boolean value)
public function get InheritInChildApplications () : boolean
public function set InheritInChildApplications (value : boolean)
Property Value
true if the settings specified in this
ConfigurationSection object are inherited by child applications; otherwise,
false. The default is
true.
Remarks
The InheritInChildApplications property represents the inheritInChildApplicationsattribute of a locationelement within a configuration file.
Set InheritInChildApplications to false to prevent settings that are specific to a certain location, such as the root directory of a Web site, from being inherited by applications that exist in subdirectories.
The following example shows how to use this attribute in a configuration file to specify that the settings defined in the location element for the root of a Web site should not be inherited by child applications:
<location path="." inheritInChildApplications="false">
The InheritInChildApplications property applies only to location-specific configuration settings.
Example
The following example shows how to get the InheritInChildApplications value of a ConfigurationSection object.
Public Shared Sub GetInheritInChildApps()
Dim sInfo As SectionInformation = _
GetSectionInformation()
Dim inheritInChildApps As Boolean = _
sInfo.InheritInChildApplications
Console.WriteLine("Inherit in child apps: {0", _
inheritInChildApps.ToString())
End Sub 'GetInheritInChildApps
static public void GetInheritInChildApps()
{
SectionInformation sInfo =
GetSectionInformation();
bool inheritInChildApps =
sInfo.InheritInChildApplications;
Console.WriteLine("Inherit in child apps: {0",
inheritInChildApps.ToString());
