Property Value

Type: System::Boolean

true if the settings specified in this ConfigurationSection object are inherited by child applications; otherwise, false. The default is true.

The InheritInChildApplications property represents the inheritInChildApplicationsattribute of a location element in a configuration file.

Set InheritInChildApplications to false to prevent settings that are specific to a certain location (such as the root directory of a Web site) from being inherited by applications that exist in subdirectories.

The following example shows how to use this attribute in a configuration file to specify that the settings defined in the location element for the root of a Web site should not be inherited by child applications:

<location path="." inheritInChildApplications="false">

The InheritInChildApplications property applies only to location-specific configuration settings.

The following example shows how to get the InheritInChildApplications value of a ConfigurationSection object.
