What's wrong with my configuration code?

[NewsBot]

I'm not a fan of the new .NET 2.0 Configuration model, I find it's too long-winded and takes away the simplicity of .NET 1.x's ISectionHandler approach.

 

...that, plus the reflection makes me shudder.

 

Anyway, here's my app.config:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And here's my Configuration code

 

public sealed class ManageThisSection : ConfigurationSection {

 

public ManageThisSection() {

 

}

 

[ConfigurationProperty("competitions")]

[ConfigurationCollection(typeof(ConfigurationElementCollection))]

public CompetitionsElement Competitions {

get { return (CompetitionsElement)base["competitions"]; }

}

 

public sealed class CompetitionsElement : ConfigurationElement {

 

private CompetitionElementCollection _competitions;

 

public CompetitionsElement() {

_competitions = new CompetitionElementCollection();

}

 

[ConfigurationProperty("", IsDefaultCollection=true)]

public CompetitionElementCollection Competitions {

get { return _competitions; }

}

 

public CompetitionElement GetCompetitionInfo(Int32 id) {

foreach(CompetitionElement ele in _competitions) {

if(ele.Id == id) return ele;

}

return null;

}

 

}

 

public sealed class CompetitionElementCollection : ConfigurationElementCollection {

 

public override ConfigurationElementCollectionType CollectionType {

get {

return ConfigurationElementCollectionType.AddRemoveClearMap;

}

}

 

protected override ConfigurationElement CreateNewElement() {

return new CompetitionElement();

}

 

protected override Object GetElementKey(ConfigurationElement element) {

return (element as CompetitionElement).Id;

}

 

public CompetitionElement this[int32 index] {

get { return (CompetitionElement)BaseGet(index); }

set {

if( BaseGet(index) != null ) {

BaseRemoveAt(index);

}

BaseAdd(index, value);

}

}

 

public void Add(CompetitionElement element) {

base.BaseAdd( element );

}

 

public void Clear() {

base.BaseClear();

}

 

public void Remove(CompetitionElement element) {

base.BaseRemove(element.Id);

}

 

public void Remove(Int32 id) {

base.BaseRemove(id);

}

 

public void RemoveAt(Int32 index) {

base.BaseRemoveAt(index);

}

}

 

public sealed class CompetitionElement : ConfigurationElement {

 

[ConfigurationProperty("id",IsKey=true,IsRequired=true)]

public Int32 Id {

get { return (Int32)base["id"]; }

set { base["id"] = value; }

}

 

[ConfigurationProperty("name",IsRequired=true)]

public String Name {

get { return (String)base["name"]; }

set { base["name"] = value; }

}

 

[ConfigurationProperty("path",IsRequired=true)]

public String Path {

get { return (String)base["path"]; }

set { base["path"] = value; }

}

 

}

 

}

...why isn't it working?
