Examples

The following example shows how to use the LockAllElementsExcept property.

// Show how to use LockAllElementsExcept.
// It locks and unlocks all the MyUrls elements 
// except urls.
static void LockAllElementsExcept()
{

    try
    {
        // Get the configuration file.
        System.Configuration.Configuration config =
            ConfigurationManager.OpenExeConfiguration(
            ConfigurationUserLevel.None);

        // Get the MyUrls section.
        UrlsSection myUrlsSection =
            config.GetSection("MyUrls") as UrlsSection;

        if (myUrlsSection == null)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Failed to load UrlsSection.");
        }
        else
        {

            // Get MyUrls section LockElements collection.
            ConfigurationLockCollection lockElementsExcept =
                myUrlsSection.LockAllElementsExcept;

            // Get MyUrls section LockElements collection 
            // enumerator.
            IEnumerator lockElementEnum =
                 lockElementsExcept.GetEnumerator();

            // Position the collection index.
            lockElementEnum.MoveNext();

            if (lockElementsExcept.Contains("urls"))
                // Remove the lock on all the ther elements.
                lockElementsExcept.Remove("urls");
            else

                // but urls element.
                lockElementsExcept.Add("urls");
