| AsParallel() | Overloaded. Enables parallelization of a query.(Defined by ParallelEnumerable.) |
| AsQueryable() | Overloaded. Converts an IEnumerable to an IQueryable.(Defined by Queryable.) |
| Cast<TResult>() | Casts the elements of an IEnumerable to the specified type.(Defined by Enumerable.) |
| OfType<TResult>() | Filters the elements of an IEnumerable based on a specified type.(Defined by Enumerable.) |
Use the ConfigurationSectionCollection class to iterate through a collection of ConfigurationSection objects. You can access this collection of objects using the Sections property or the Sections property.
The ConfigurationSectionCollection class is also used in the creation of custom types that extend the ConfigurationSection class.
The following code example shows how to use the ConfigurationSectionCollection class.
The following example is an excerpt of the configuration file used by the previous example.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
<configSections>
<section name="CustomSection"
type="Samples.AspNet.Configuration.CustomSection, ConfigurationSectionCollection, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null" allowDefinition="Everywhere" allowExeDefinition="MachineToApplication" restartOnExternalChanges="true" />
</configSections>
<CustomSection fileName="default.txt" maxUsers="1000"
maxIdleTime="00:05:00" />
</configuration>
