ConfigurationLocationCollection Class

Contains a collection of ConfigurationLocationCollection objects.

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

'Declaration
Public Class ConfigurationLocationCollection _
	Inherits ReadOnlyCollectionBase
'Usage
Dim instance As ConfigurationLocationCollection

Use the ConfigurationLocationCollection class to iterate through a collection of ConfigurationLocation objects, which represent the resources for which location-specific configuration settings are defined. ConfigurationLocationCollection is the type returned by the Locations property.

NoteNote:

The ConfigurationLocationCollection class might not reference the collection of ConfigurationLocation objects in the order that they are specified in the configuration file.

In the following code example, the Web configuration for the application MySampleApp is loaded, and the locations defined in this configuration are displayed by iterating through the ConfigurationLocationCollection object returned by the Locations property.

Imports System
Imports System.Collections
Imports System.Configuration

Class DisplayLocationInfo
    Public Overloads Shared Sub Main()
        Dim config As System.Configuration.Configuration = _
            ConfigurationManager.OpenExeConfiguration(ConfigurationUserLevel.None)
        Dim myLocationCollection As _
            System.Configuration.ConfigurationLocationCollection = config.Locations
        Dim myLocation As ConfigurationLocation
        For Each myLocation In  myLocationCollection
            Console.WriteLine("Location Path: {0}", myLocation.Path)
            Dim myLocationConfiguration As System.Configuration.Configuration = _
                myLocation.OpenConfiguration()
            Console.WriteLine("Location Configuration Path: {0}", _
                myLocationConfiguration.FilePath)
        Next myLocation
        Console.WriteLine("Done...")
        Console.ReadLine()
