This example demonstrates how to specify values declaratively for several attributes of the hostingEnvironment Element (ASP.NET Settings Schema) section, which can also be accessed as members of the HostingEnvironmentSection class.

The following configuration file example shows how to specify values declaratively for the hostingEnvironment Element (ASP.NET Settings Schema) section.
