Re: Reading a <sectionGroup> in app.config

Okay, as mentioned before, this code is unaltered code copied and pasted
from
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpguide/html/cpcondeclaringsectiongroups.asp
and placed into a) app.config b) a button Click event to trigger the code.
My logic was to not alter any of the MSDN code until it worked. Also, I
placed this code presented below from MSDN into a new Windows forms project
so there is nothing to conflict with the code from MSDN. Please note my
problem is with the read from <sectionGroup name="mySectionGroup">.

Thanks for your time on this matter


<configuration>
<configSections>
<section name="sampleSection"
type="System.Configuration.SingleTagSectionHandler" />
<!--The following code declares a section group called
mySectionGroup. -->
<sectionGroup name="mySectionGroup">
<section name="mySection"
type="System.Configuration.NameValueSectionHandler,System" />
</sectionGroup>
</configSections>

<mySectionGroup>
<mySection>
<add key="key1" value="value1" />
</mySection>
</mySectionGroup>

</configuration>Dim nvc As NameValueCollection

' Notice the path-like syntax.
nvc = CType(ConfigurationSettings.GetConfig("mySectionGroup/mySection"),
NameValueCollection)
