How do i get the namevaluecollection from the web.config?

Hi

My web.config file hase the following information. I would like to reterive the "membership" section as a namevaluecollection .

<membership defaultProvider="MyCustomMembershipProvider">
<providers>
<add name="MyCustomMembershipProvider"
type="MyCustomMembershipProvider"
requiresQuestionAndAnswer="true"
enablePasswordRetrieval="true"
enablePasswordReset="true"
applicationName="CustomMembershipApplication"
requiresUniqueEmail="true"
passwordFormat="Encrypted"
maxInvalidPasswordAttempts="3"
passwordAttemptWindow="10"
MinRequiredPasswordLength="7"
connectionStringName="sqlConnection"/>
</providers>
</membership>

I tried the following options to get a NameValeCollection

SYStem.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings.GetConfig('membership')

System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.GetSection("membership")

None worked fine. All the time I am getting Nothing from the result.

Please help me here.

Thanks

Nitu

    Hi Aquilax

    Thanks for the reply.

    Your suggestion return as MembershipSection type. I was tryig to cast it to NamevalueCollection & getting an error

    "Unabe to cast object of type 'System.Web.Configuration.MembershipSection' to type System.Collections.Specialized.NameValueCollection."

    Please let me know

    Thanks

    Hi!

    Is there a reason you're not using the Membership. API's They will give you the values of all of those configuration setttings. For example Membership.MinRequiredPasswordLength.

    The best place for asking ASP.NET questions is on the ASP.NET community site, and in the forums there. Check out http://www.asp.net/welcome.aspx tabindex=1&tabid=39.

    HTH,

    Hi Nitu, you can get the object handler of the configuration section in this way:

    MembershipSection section = (MembershipSection)System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.GetSection("system.web/membership");

    "Is there a reason you're not using the Membership. API's "

    Probably because he is doing a custom membership provider
