The following example shows how to use the SectionInformation property.

Shared Sub DisplayCustomSectionInformation()

   Try 
      Dim customSection As CustomSection

      customSection = ConfigurationManager.GetSection("CustomSection")

      If customSection Is Nothing Then
         Console.WriteLine(("Failed to load " + "CustomSection" + "."))
      Else 
         ' Display specific information
         Console.WriteLine("Defaults:")
         Console.WriteLine("File Name:       {0}", customSection.FileName)
             Console.WriteLine("Max Users:       {0}", customSection.MaxUsers.ToString())
             Console.WriteLine("Max Idle Time:   {0}", customSection.MaxIdleTime.ToString())

         ' Display generic information
         Console.WriteLine("Generic information:")
         Console.WriteLine("AllowExeDefinition:  {0}", customSection.SectionInformation.AllowExeDefinition.ToString())
         Console.WriteLine("IsLocked:            {0}", customSection.SectionInformation.IsLocked.ToString())
      End If 

   Catch err As ConfigurationErrorsException
      Console.WriteLine(err.ToString())
   End Try 
End Sub 'DisplayCustomSectionInformation

        {

            try
            {

                    Console.WriteLine("IsLocked:            {0}",
                        customSection.SectionInformation.IsLocked.ToString());
