(in System.Configuration.dll)
Visual Basic (Declaration)
Public ReadOnly Property IsProtected As Boolean
Dim instance As SectionInformation
Dim value As Boolean
value = instance.IsProtected
public bool IsProtected { get; }
public:
property bool IsProtected {
bool get ();

Protected configuration sections are encrypted and read-only.
For more information about protected configuration sections, see Encrypting Configuration Information Using Protected Configuration.
The examples in this section show how to get the IsProtected property value after accessing the related section information in the configuration file.
The following example gets the SectionInformation object.
' 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 IsProtected value.
Dim protect As Boolean = _
sInfo.IsProtected
Console.WriteLine("Section protected?: {0}", _
protect.ToString())
bool protect =
sInfo.IsProtected;
Console.WriteLine("Section protected?: {0}",
protect.ToString());
