Accessing web.config

<i><b>Originally posted by : Kerry (whelan_kerry@hotmail.com)</b></i><br />I am trying to access the various sections of the web.config file. I can<br />access the appSettings section using<br /><br />String dsn = ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["dsn"];<br /><br />The MSDN Library states that<br /><br /> bool nocookies = Session.Cookieless;<br /><br />would allow me to read the cookieless attribute of the sessionState and I<br />understand that in the same way<br /><br /> compilation.defaultLanguage;<br /><br />should return "c#".<br />I understand from the "Accessing ASP.NET Configuration Settings" article in<br />the MSDN Library that by entering the section name and the attribute I<br />should be able to retrieve data from the web.config file. However entering<br />such code returns the error:<br /><br /> does not contain a definition for "attribute name"<br /><br />Does anyone have advice on how to access configuration data in the<br />web.config file that is not in the AppSettings section.<br /><br />Thankyou in advance,<br /><br />Kerry<br /><br /><br />
