Hi,
Im converting a web.config file from having multiple <section /> tags within a <sectionGroup /> to only having one <section /> tag that implements my own class. I hope in this way to make future maintenance of my config file simpler
but in the mean time it makes my life harder. Another reason for swapping architecture is that if I implement my own class I can add groups of rules more simply that I could with my original design.
Heres a sample of the web.config with both sets of <section /> tags in:
<div style="color:Black;background-color:White; <pre>
<span style="color:Blue; <?<span style="color:#A31515; xml <span style="color:Red; version<span style="color:Blue; =<span style="color:Black; "<span style="color:Blue; 1.0<span style="color:Black; "<span style="color:Blue; ?>
<span style="color:Blue; <<span style="color:#A31515; configuration<span style="color:Blue; >

I hope to be able to remove the <CompanyData> group but im having difficulty in exposing the elements in the new <Companies> section according to their scope (Public/Private). What I have done is create a class named CompanyElement.cs that
acquires these properties and exposes them all. But I only realy want it to expose the Private ones if its called internally e.g. not public. To try to do this I have overloaded the constructor to accept an argument of public or private (Enum) with the hope
that since CompanyElement.cs is internal then I can only create this class from within one of my own projects and so I should know what I can expose. But, the public elements are public for a reason and so I need some way of obtaining them and exposing them
to the wider world. I have attempted to do this via yet another class/web service ive named ConfigMethods.cs (see what I mean about it being tricky to set up!).
Heres a copy of each of the classes:

I appologise for the state of the code as its part way through conversion, but I hope it will be sufficient to give an idea of what im trying to do.<br/>
In short, ive got myself into a bit of a mess and would appreciate someone guiding me in the right direction. I believe that what I would ideally like is a way of exposing public elements from the web.config to anyone who wants them and restricting private
ones for internal use only.
Cheers,
Mike
