SectionInformation..::.OverrideMode Property

Gets or sets the OverrideMode enumeration value that specifies whether the associated configuration section can be overridden by child configuration files.

Namespace: System.Configuration
Assembly: System.Configuration (in System.Configuration.dll)

Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration)

Public Property OverrideMode As OverrideMode

Visual Basic (Usage)

Dim instance As SectionInformation
Dim value As OverrideMode

value = instance.OverrideMode

instance.OverrideMode = value

public OverrideMode OverrideMode { get; set; }

Visual C++

public:
property OverrideMode OverrideMode {
    OverrideMode get ();
    void set (OverrideMode value);
}

JScript

public function get OverrideMode () : OverrideMode
public function set OverrideMode (value : OverrideMode)

Property Value

Type: System.Configuration..::.OverrideMode
One of the OverrideMode enumeration values.

Exceptions

Exception	Condition
ConfigurationErrorsException	An attempt was made to change both the AllowOverride and OverrideMode properties, which is not supported for compatibility reasons.

Remarks

The AllowOverride property gets or sets a value that indicates whether resources declared inside a location element can be overridden by child configuration files. The OverrideMode property gets or sets a value that specifies similar behavior, but does so for a specific configuration element or group, and uses one of the OverrideMode enumeration values. The OverrideMode property enables behavior to be inherited from a parent element.

You cannot programmatically set both the AllowOverride and OverrideMode property. Setting the AllowOverride property to true sets the OverrideMode property to Inherit. Setting the AllowOverride property to false sets the OverrideMode property to false.

The OverrideMode property is introduced in the .NET Framework version 3.5 Service Pack 1. For more information, see .NET Framework 3.5 Architecture.
