        UrlsCollection elements =
            myUrlsSection.Urls;

        IEnumerator elemEnum =
            elements.GetEnumerator();

        int i = 0;
        while (elemEnum.MoveNext())
        {
            // Get the current element configuration
            // property collection.

            foreach (PropertyInformation property in properties)
            {
