Forces the declaration for this ConfigurationSectionGroup object.
Assembly: System.Configuration (in System.Configuration.dll)
Remarks
The ForceDeclaration method can force a ConfigurationSectionGroup object to be written to a configuration file, even if it is not required because it is already declared in a parent file.
Examples
The following code example shows how to use the ForceDeclaration method.
Overloads Shared Sub ForceDeclaration( _
ByVal sectionGroup As ConfigurationSectionGroup)
' Get the application configuration file.
Dim config _
As System.Configuration.Configuration = _
ConfigurationManager.OpenExeConfiguration( _
ConfigurationUserLevel.None)
sectionGroup.ForceDeclaration()
config.Save(ConfigurationSaveMode.Full)
Console.WriteLine( _
"Forced declaration for the group: {0}", _
sectionGroup.Name)
End Sub 'ForceDeclarationstatic void ForceDeclaration(
ConfigurationSectionGroup sectionGroup)
{
// Get the application configuration file.
System.Configuration.Configuration config =
ConfigurationManager.OpenExeConfiguration(
ConfigurationUserLevel.None);
sectionGroup.ForceDeclaration();
config.Save(ConfigurationSaveMode.Full);
Console.WriteLine(
"Forced declaration for the group: {0}",
sectionGroup.Name);
}
