Reading Values from Web.config file in ASP.NET

Question

I have an ASP.NET MVC 5 app. My app has a web.config app. In this app, I have a custom section that looks like this:

<service.settings>
  <service1 isEnabled="true" emailAddress="[email protected]" />
  <service2 isEnabled="true" emailAddress="[email protected]" />
  <bonzai type="ficus" age="13" />
</service.settings>

My question is, how do I access these configuration values in my C# code? I'm familiar with ConfigurationManager.AppSettings. However, I'm not sure how to get configuration settings out of custom sections.

You should use ConfigurationManager.GetSection(String)

// Assuming 'service.settings' is on the root of your web.config...
var yourSection = (YourSectionClass)ConfigurationManager
   .GetSection("service.settings")
