Droopy,

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



So I must miss something !

I tried with the example provided in MSDN :

<myCustomGroup>
<myCustomSection myAttrib1="Clowns">
<myChildSection
myChildAttrib1="Zippy"
myChildAttrib2="Michael Zawondy "/>
</myCustomSection>
</myCustomGroup>

It works of course.
When I try to add a 2nd element :

<myCustomGroup>
<myCustomSection myAttrib1="Clowns">
<myChildSection
myChildAttrib1="Zippy"
myChildAttrib2="Michael Zawondy "/>
</myCustomSection>
<myCustomSection myAttrib1="Clowns2">
<myChildSection
myChildAttrib1="Zippy"
myChildAttrib2="Michael Zawondy "/>
</myCustomSection>
</myCustomGroup>

I got the same exception = "Sections must only appear once per config
file".
