AppSettingsReader GetValues

Visual Studio26
Hi,

Consider following app.config

<configuration>

<appSettings>

<add key="Fields" value="Field1" />

<add key="Fields" value="Field2" />

<add key="Fields" value="Field3" />

</appSettings>

</configuration>

Is there any way to retrieve all three values for one key.

Its very possible and easy in an XML Document ( infact i do it but as an

app.config.xml ).

So the AppSettingsReader provide ONLY ONE method GetValue and the internal

XML Document isnt exposed.

ReQuote: How to get multiple values on same key from an app.config file ?

Something Like GetValues( key, values() )

So is there a way to do it without writing own XML document parsing code?

Thanx in advance

Hey,

Take a look at using the ConfigurationSettings.GetConfig() method. I found

the the help file to be of almost negative assistance. Here's a link that's

helped me along:

Basically, you can define configuration sections that can be mapped to a

class you define in code, which can contain pretty much any representation

of the data you want.

HTH,
