I created a customer configuration class Reports. I then created another class called "ReportsCollection". When I try and do the "ConfigurationManager.GetSection()", it doesn't populate my collection variable. Can anyone see any mistakes in my code?

Here is the collection class:

public class ReportsCollection : ConfigurationElementCollection
{
    public ReportsCollection()
    {
    }

    protected override ConfigurationElement CreateNewElement()
    {
        throw new NotImplementedException();
    }

    protected override ConfigurationElement CreateNewElement(string elementName)
    {
        return base.CreateNewElement(elementName);
    }

    protected override object GetElementKey(ConfigurationElement element)
    {
        throw new NotImplementedException();
    }

    public Report this[int index]
    {
        get { return (Report)BaseGet(index); }
    }
}

Here is the reports class:

public class Report : ConfigurationSection
{
    [ConfigurationProperty("reportName", IsRequired = true)]
    public string ReportName
    {
        get { return (string)this["reportName"]; }
        //set { this["reportName"] = value; }
    }

    [ConfigurationProperty("storedProcedures", IsRequired = true)]
    public StoredProceduresCollection StoredProcedures
    {
        get { return (StoredProceduresCollection)this["storedProcedures"]; }
    }

    [ConfigurationProperty("parameters", IsRequired = false)]
    public ParametersCollection Parameters
    {
        get { return (ParametersCollection)this["parameters"]; }
    }

    [ConfigurationProperty("saveLocation", IsRequired = true)]
    public string SaveLocation
    {
        get { return (string)this["saveLocation"]; }
    }

    [ConfigurationProperty("recipients", IsRequired = true)]
    public RecipientsCollection Recipients
    {
        get { return (RecipientsCollection)this["recipients"]; }
    }
}

public class StoredProcedure : ConfigurationElement
{
    [ConfigurationProperty("storedProcedureName", IsRequired = true)]
    public string StoredProcedureName
    {
        get { return (string)this["storedProcedureName"]; }
    }
}

public class StoredProceduresCollection : ConfigurationElementCollection
{
    protected override ConfigurationElement CreateNewElement()
    {
        throw new NotImplementedException();
    }

    protected override ConfigurationElement CreateNewElement(string elementName)
    {
        return base.CreateNewElement(elementName);
    }

    protected override object GetElementKey(ConfigurationElement element)
    {
        throw new NotImplementedException();
    }

    public StoredProcedure this[int index]
    {
        get { return (StoredProcedure)base.BaseGet(index); }
    }
}
}

And here is the very straight-forward code to create the variable:

ReportsCollection reportsCollection = (ReportsCollection) System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.GetSection("ReportGroup");
