Custom Web.Config sections: At least I can dream
I'm going off on rant. Deal with it.
Custom sections in Web.Config are pretty cool since you can use them to define easily changed configuration settings for applications outside of the bounds of <appSettings>.
So long as you want to use simple data structures like dictionaries, NamedValue pairs and so on.
Originally I though, hey, here's a great solution to my problem where I can't read a file during application_OnStart -- I'll just put that XML into a custom section.
Uh. No. It doesn't appear that there's a handler that supports reading in a whole section as an XML document fragment.
Well, there's one for the Orcas wishlist, I guess. Meantime its back to square one for me.
