ConfigurationElementCollection::CreateNewElement Method (String)
Creates a new ConfigurationElement when overridden in a derived class.
Assembly: System.Configuration (in System.Configuration.dll)
Parameters
- elementName
- Type: System::String
The name of the ConfigurationElement to create.
Override the CreateNewElement method to create custom ConfigurationElement objects of a specific type. When a collection is loaded from the configuration file, CreateNewElement is called to create individual elements. CreateNewElement must be overridden in classes that derive from the ConfigurationElementCollection class.
Notes to ImplementersIf you create a custom ConfigurationElementCollection collection that contains heterogeneous ConfigurationElement types, you must perform these steps:
Override the GetElementKey method.
Make sure that the GetElementKey method returns a string that identifies the type of the element you created by calling the CreateNewElement method.
