Examples
The following example shows how to get the InheritInChildApplications value of a ConfigurationSection object.
static public void GetInheritInChildApps()
{
SectionInformation sInfo =
GetSectionInformation();
bool inheritInChildApps =
sInfo.InheritInChildApplications;
Console.WriteLine("Inherit in child apps: {0}",
inheritInChildApps.ToString());
}
Public Shared Sub GetInheritInChildApps()
Dim sInfo As SectionInformation = _
GetSectionInformation()
Dim inheritInChildApps As Boolean = _
sInfo.InheritInChildApplications
Console.WriteLine("Inherit in child apps: {0}", _
inheritInChildApps.ToString())
End Sub
Remarks
The InheritInChildApplications property represents the inheritInChildApplications attribute of a location element in a configuration file.
Set InheritInChildApplications to false to prevent settings that are specific to a certain location (such as the root directory of a Web site) from being inherited by applications that exist in subdirectories.
The following example shows how to use this attribute in a configuration file to specify that the settings defined in the location element for the root of a Web site should not be inherited by child applications:
<location path="." inheritInChildApplications="false">
The InheritInChildApplications property applies only to location-specific configuration settings.
