## Remarks
 You use the <xref:System.Configuration.ConfigurationSection> class to implement a custom section type. Extend the <xref:System.Configuration.ConfigurationSection> class to provide custom handling and programmatic access to custom configuration sections.

 A section registers its handling type with an entry in the `configSections` element. For an example, see the configuration file excerpt shown in the Example section.

## Examples
 The following example shows how to implement a custom section programmatically.

 For a complete example that shows how to implement and use a custom section implemented using the attributed model, see <xref:System.Configuration.ConfigurationElement>.

 :::code language="csharp" source="~/snippets/csharp/VS_Snippets_WebNet/System.Configuration.ConfigurationSection/CS/CustomConfigurationSection.cs" id="Snippet1":::
 :::code language="vb" source="~/snippets/visualbasic/VS_Snippets_WebNet/System.Configuration.ConfigurationSection/VB/CustomConfigurationSection.vb" id="Snippet1":::

 The following example is an excerpt of the configuration file as it applies to the previous example.

 ```xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
  <configuration>
    <configSections>
      <section name="CustomSection" type="Samples.AspNet. CustomSection, CustomConfigurationSection, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null" allowDefinition="Everywhere" allowExeDefinition="MachineToApplication" restartOnExternalChanges="true" />
    </configSections>

    <CustomSection fileName="default.txt" maxUsers="1000" maxIdleTime="00:15:00" />

  </configuration>
```

    </remarks>
    <block subset="none" type="overrides">
      <para>You can use a programmatic or a declarative (attributed) coding model to create custom configuration sections:

- Programmatic model. This model requires that for each section attribute you create a property to get or set its value and add it to the internal property bag of the underlying <see cref="T:System.Configuration.ConfigurationElement" /> base class.

- Declarative model. This simpler model, also called the attributed model, allows you to define a section attribute by using a property and decorating it with attributes. These attributes instruct the ASP.NET configuration system about the property types and their default values. With this information, obtained through reflection, the ASP.NET configuration system creates the section property objects and performs the required initialization.

 The <see cref="T:System.Configuration.Configuration" /> class allows programmatic access for editing configuration files. You can access these files for reading or writing as follows:

- Reading. You use <see cref="M:System.Configuration.Configuration.GetSection(System.String)" /> or <see cref="M:System.Configuration.Configuration.GetSectionGroup(System.String)" /> to read configuration information. Note that the user or process that reads must have the following permissions:

  - Read permission on the configuration file at the current configuration hierarchy level.
  - Read permissions on all the parent configuration files.

  If your application needs read-only access to its own configuration, it is recommended you use the <see cref="Overload:System.Web.Configuration.WebConfigurationManager.GetSection" /> overloaded methods in the case of Web applications, or the <see cref="M:System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.GetSection(System.String)" /> method in the case of client applications.

  These methods provide access to the cached configuration values for the current application, which has better performance than the <see cref="T:System.Configuration.Configuration" /> class.

Note: If you use a static <see langword="GetSection" /> method that takes a <paramref name="path" /> parameter, the <paramref name="path" /> parameter must refer to the application in which the code is running; otherwise, the parameter is ignored and configuration information for the currently-running application is returned.

- Writing. You use one of the <see cref="Overload:System.Configuration.Configuration.Save" /> methods to write configuration information. Note that the user or process that writes must have the following permissions:

  - Write permission on the configuration file and directory at the current configuration hierarchy level.
  - Read permissions on all the configuration files.</para>

## Remarks
 To use the <xref:System.Configuration.ConfigurationSection.%23ctor*> constructor, you need to define a custom section type first. For an example see the <xref:System.Configuration.ConfigurationSection> class overview.

## Examples
 The following example shows how to use the <xref:System.Configuration.ConfigurationSection.%23ctor*> constructor. This example assumes that you have created a custom section class named `CustomSection`. For an example of such a class, see the <xref:System.Configuration.ConfigurationSection> class overview.

## Remarks
 When the <xref:System.Configuration.Configuration.GetSection*> method is called at run time, the configuration system first creates an appropriate instance of the <xref:System.Configuration.ConfigurationSection> class, and then returns the object it obtains from the <xref:System.Configuration.ConfigurationSection.GetRuntimeObject*> method.

 By default, <xref:System.Configuration.ConfigurationSection.GetRuntimeObject*> simply returns the object that represents the <xref:System.Configuration.ConfigurationSection> from which it is called.

## Examples
 The following example shows how to use the <xref:System.Configuration.ConfigurationSection.GetRuntimeObject*> method.

          <para>You can override the <see cref="M:System.Configuration.ConfigurationSection.GetRuntimeObject" /> method to return a custom type at run time.

 For example, to restrict runtime modification of the settings in the <see cref="T:System.Configuration.ConfigurationSection" /> class, you can override <see cref="M:System.Configuration.ConfigurationSection.GetRuntimeObject" /> and return a custom type that enforces restrictions on which settings can be modified, if any.

 If the runtime object is internal only, the returned object cannot be used outside the assembly that defines it. One way to create an object that derives from <see cref="T:System.Configuration.ConfigurationSection" /> and can only be accessed by code in your assembly at run time is to create an internal runtime object that has a method that returns your <see cref="T:System.Configuration.ConfigurationSection" /> implementation.</para>

## Remarks
 Each configuration section that's created must explicitly override this method and return `true`, but only if the specified element is valid for the specified version of .NET.

 The base type contains a default implementation of this method that always returns `true`. If you implement a configuration section and you do not override this method, by default all configuration elements that are contained in the configuration section will be serialized for all framework versions.

## Remarks
 Each configuration section that's created must explicitly override this method and return `true`, but only if the specified property is valid for the specified version of .NET.

 The base type contains a default implementation of this method that always returns `true`. If you implement a configuration section and you do not override this method, by default all configuration properties that are contained in the configuration section will be serialized for all framework versions.
