Title Body

I am trying to learn how to use the ConfigurationSection class. I used to use the IConfigurationSectionHandler but released that it has been depreciated. So being a good lad I am trying the "correct" way. My problem is that it is always returning null. I have a console app and a DLL. class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { StandardConfigSectionHandler section = StandardConfigSectionHandler.GetConfiguration(); string value = section.Value; } } app config: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <configuration> <configSections> <sectionGroup name="ConfigSectionGroup"> <section name="ConfigSection" type="Controller.StandardConfigSectionHandler, Controller" /> </sectionGroup> </configSections> <ConfigSectionGroup> <ConfigSection> <test value="1" /> </ConfigSection> </ConfigSectionGroup> </configuration> section handler in DLL: namespace Controller { public class StandardConfigSectionHandler : ConfigurationSection { private const string ConfigPath = "ConfigSectionGroup/ConfigSection/"; public static StandardConfigSectionHandler GetConfiguration() { object section = ConfigurationManager.GetSection(ConfigPath); return section as StandardWcfConfigSectionHandler; } [ConfigurationProperty("value")] public string Value { get { return (string)this["value"]; } set { this["value"] = value; } } } } What ever values I try for the "ConfigPath" it will return null, or throw an error saying "test" is an unrecognised element. Values I tried: ConfigSectionGroup ConfigSectionGroup/ ConfigSectionGroup/ConfigSection ConfigSectionGroup/ConfigSection/ ConfigSectionGroup/ConfigSection/t
