Re: multiple same section in app.config

Droopy,

Well, it will, but you have to have one root element that is not
repeated.

My problem is that I tried to use the same section multiple times.
A custom section won't help I suppose ?

That is a good idea but I don't really like it.
The parsing seems a bit too complicated.
I am going to try my own custom handler.

Thanks.

Droopy,

The reason this doesn't work is that you are trying to create
something
of a heiarchical nature for data that is simply a set of pairs.

If you want to use the NameValueSectionHandler, then you need to
do
something like this:

<Connections>
<add key="ComPort_1" value="COM2" />
<add key="Name_1" value="Connection 1" />
<add key="ComPort_2" value="COM4" />
<add key="Name_2" value="Connection 2" />
</Connections>

Then, you would have to parse the names to see how the values are
grouped together.

If you want to have a different kind of config setup, then you
will have
to create your own custom handler.

Hope this helps.
