ConfigurationElement.IsModified Method

Note: This method is new in the .NET Framework version 2.0.

Indicates whether this configuration element has been modified since it was last saved or loaded, when implemented in a derived class.

Namespace: System.Configuration
Assembly: System.Configuration (in system.configuration.dll)

protected public:
virtual bool IsModified ()
protected boolean IsModified ()
protected internal function IsModified () : boolean

Return Value

true if the element has been modified; otherwise, false.

The IsModified method determines whether this ConfigurationElement object will be written to the configuration file when the Save method is called. If the return value is false, it is assumed that the configuration file represents the current state of the element.

By default, IsModified returns true after a property is set through the indexer to this ConfigurationElement object.

Override the IsModified method to provide custom indication of the state of this ConfigurationElement element.

The following example shows how to extend IsModified.
