Access ConfigurationSection from ConfigurationElement
- by shivesh
I have a configuration class that maps web.config, something like that:
public class SiteConfigurationSection : ConfigurationSection
{
[ConfigurationProperty("defaultConnectionStringName", DefaultValue = "LocalSqlServer")]
public string DefaultConnectionStringName
{
get { return (string)base["defaultConnectionStringName"]; }
set { base["defaultConnectionStringName"] = value; }
}
[ConfigurationProperty("Module", IsRequired = true)]
public ModuleElement Module
{
get { return (ModuleElement)base["Module"]; }
}
}
public class ModuleElement : ConfigurationElement
{
[ConfigurationProperty("connectionStringName")]
public string ConnectionStringName
{
get { return (string)base["connectionStringName"]; }
set { base["connectionStringName"] = value; }
}
public string ConnectionString
{
get
{
string str;
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(this.ConnectionStringName))
{
str =//GET THE DefaultConnectionStringName from SiteConfigurationSection;
}
else
str = this.ConnectionStringName;
return WebConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings[str].ConnectionString;
}
}
}
Meaning if connection string name value is missing in Module section in web.config file, the value should be read from configurationsection.
How to do that?
