I want a configuration section that looks like this:
<MailMessage>
<from value="me@you.com" />
<subject value ="Subject goes here" />
<body value="Hello. You've got mail!" />
</MailMessage>
And I have implemented the classes like in the second answer of this link: How to implement a ConfigurationSection with a ConfigurationElementCollection
Now for me the elements of MailMessage section are not a collection but this should not be a problem but I receive the error when I try to access the property:
Unrecognized element 'from'
I get the section with the code:
private static MailMessageSection emailSection = ConfigurationManager.GetSection("MailMessage") as MailMessageSection;
Here is the implementation of the elements:
public class MailMessageSection : ConfigurationSection
{
[ConfigurationProperty("from")]
public FromElement From
{
get { return base["from"] as FromElement; }
}
[ConfigurationProperty("subject")]
public SubjectElement Subject
{
get { return base["subject"] as SubjectElement; }
}
[ConfigurationProperty("body")]
public BodyElement Body
{
get { return base["body"] as BodyElement; }
}
}
public class FromElement : ConfigurationElement
{
[ConfigurationProperty("value")]
public string From
{
get { return base["value"] as string; }
}
}
public class SubjectElement : ConfigurationElement
{
[ConfigurationProperty("value")]
public string Subject
{
get { return base["value"] as string; }
}
}
public class BodyElement : ConfigurationElement
{
[ConfigurationProperty("value")]
public string Body
{
get { return base["value"] as string; }
}
}
Any ideas what could be wrong? Thanks for your time!
