I have a section in Web.Config:
<applicationSettings>
<FSBsnsCsLib.Properties.Settings>
...
</FSBsnsCsLib.Properties.Settings>
</applicationSettings>
I've tried to access inner section using shortcut “Section/Subsection“
string sSectionName="applicationSettings/FSBusinessLib.My.MySettings";
System.Configuration.ClientSettingsSection sectSettings = (ClientSettingsSection)config.Sections[sSectionName];
but it returned null.
The correct way is the following:
const string cnstApplicationSection = "applicationSettings";
ConfigurationSectionGroup grpApplicationSection = config.SectionGroups[cnstApplicationSection];
string sSectionName="FSBusinessLib.My.MySettings";
System.Configuration.ClientSettingsSection sectSettings = grpApplicationSection .Sections[sSectionName];
This approach is used in my ConfigurationHelper class
