ConfigurationSectionGroup.ForceDeclaration Method ()
.NET Framework (current version)
Forces the declaration for this ConfigurationSectionGroup object.
Assembly: System.Configuration (in System.Configuration.dll)
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.
The following code example shows how to use the ForceDeclaration method.
static 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); }
