Examples

The following example demonstrates the Name property.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using Microsoft.Web.Administration;
using Microsoft.Web.Management;

namespace AdministrationSnippets
{
    public class AdministrationSectionDefinition
    {
        // List all configuration sections in applicationHost.config
        public void ShowAllSections()
        {
            ServerManager manager = new ServerManager();
            SectionGroup rootGroup = 
                manager.GetApplicationHostConfiguration().RootSectionGroup;
            ShowGroup(rootGroup, -1);

        }

        private void ShowGroup(SectionGroup group, int indentLevel)
        {
            Console.Write("".PadLeft(++indentLevel, ' '));
            string grpName = String.IsNullOrEmpty(group.Name) ? "{root}" : group.Name;
            Console.WriteLine("+ Section Group: {0}; Sub-groups: {1}; Sections: {2}",
                grpName, group.SectionGroups.Count, group.Sections.Count);

            foreach (SectionGroup grp in group.SectionGroups)
            {
                ShowGroup(grp, indentLevel);
            }

            string path = String.Concat(group.Name, "/");

            foreach (SectionDefinition def in group.Sections)
            {
                Console.Write("".PadLeft(indentLevel, ' '));
                Console.WriteLine("|_Name:                {0}", String.Concat(path,def.Name));
                Console.Write("".PadLeft(indentLevel, ' '));
                Console.WriteLine("|_AllowDefinition:     {0}", def.AllowDefinition);
                Console.Write("".PadLeft(indentLevel, ' '));
                Console.WriteLine("|_AllowLocation:       {0}", def.AllowLocation);
                Console.Write("".PadLeft(indentLevel, ' '));
                Console.WriteLine("|_OverrideModeDefault: {0}", def.OverrideModeDefault);
                Console.Write("".PadLeft(indentLevel, ' '));
                Console.WriteLine("|_Type:                {0}\r\n", 
                    String.IsNullOrEmpty(def.Type) ? "null" : def.Type);
            }
        }

    }
}

Remarks

The value returned by the Name property is used as the tag name for the configuration section. For example, if Name gets the value "MySection" from the configuration section definition, the configuration file will contain a <MySection> element.
