Re: Custom Configuration Sections in Location Tag

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

By virtual location I mean that in my web.config I need to set something
simular to this:

<configuration>
<configSections>
<add name='customSectionGroup" ...>
</configSections>
<customSectionGroup>
<customSection>
<customOption />
</customSection>
</customSectionGroup>
<location path="someVirtualDirectory">
<customSectionGroup>
<customSection>
<customOption />
</customSection>
</customSectionGroup>
</location>
</configuration>

Then in our web site, have the option(s) set in the <customSectionGroup> be
in effect all of the site save within ~/someVirtualDirectory, where I need
the option(s) in the <location><customSectionGroup> tag to be in effect.

I know how to write the code to read the default <customSectionGroup>.
However, getting the information from within the
<location><customSectionGroup> is currently baffling me.

I hope that this makes more sense.

Hello David,

Could you explain in details what u mean with "virtual location" for
config files.
Did you try to create external config and refer to in from you main
webconfig?!
