KsWare.Configuration

Extentend System.Configuration classes. property registration (w/o attributes), IList<T>/IDictionary<string,T> support.

• ConfigurationElement
• ConfigurationElementCollection<T>

ConfigurationElement

• derives from System.Configuration.ConfigurationElement
• added property registration

ConfigurationElementCollection<T>

• derives from System.Configuration.ConfigurationElementCollection
• added property registration
• implements IList<T>
• implements IDictionary<string,T>

Differences to System.ConfigurationElementCollection:

• public T this[string name] instead of protected internal object this[string propertyName]
• public IEnumerator<T> GetEnumerator() instead of public IEnumerator GetEnumerator()

Property registration

Properties can be configurated like dependency or attached properties.

private static readonly ConfigurationProperty StringValueProperty = Register("stringValue",
	typeof(string),
	typeof(ExampleSection),
	null, ConfigurationPropertyOptions.IsRequired);

public string StringValue {
	get => (string) base[StringValueProperty];
	set => base[StringValueProperty]=value;
}

same with Attribute syntax

[ConfigurationProperty("stringValue", IsRequired = true)]
public string StringValue {
	get => (string) base["stringValue"];
	set => base["stringValue"]=value;
}
