.NET GENES

Good day! I was trying to apply integrate an Image HttpHandler that discourages leeching from one of my Web Forms project to ASP.NET MVC. This hack is found on ASP.NET 2.0 MVP Hacks site. Upon running the ASP.NET MVC project, an issue was thrown to the browser specifically "HTTP Error 500.23 - Internal Server Error. An ASP.NET setting has been detected that does not apply in Integrated managed pipeline mode." Upon investigating, I found out that handlers in WebForms are declared in <httpHandlers> under <system.web>. <system.web> <httpHandlers> <add verb= "*" path= "*.jpg" type= "Events.Web.Extensions.NoLeechImageHandler" /> <add verb= "*" path= "*.jpeg" type= "Events.Web.Extensions.NoLeechImageHandler" /> <add verb= "*" path= "*.gif" type= "Events.Web.Extensions.NoLeechImageHandler" /> <add verb= "*" path=

Hello all, I've read from a tutorial NameValueCollection and .NET Configuration Files which targets .NET 1.0/1.1 on how to read config files using type NameValueSectionHandler. I intend to explore more on applying this concept to recent versions of .NET frameworks. Upon doing some diggings, I came up with two options. First is using NameValueSectionHandler type and the other one is AppSettingsSections. To begin with, I have this App.config file with XML elements scriptsfiles and docfiles all registered in configSections. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <configuration> <configSections> <section name= "scriptfiles" type= "System.Configuration.NameValueSectionHandler" /> <section name= "docfiles" type= "System.Configuration.AppSettingsSection" /> </configSections> <scriptfiles> <add key= "C:\batchfiles\2017" value= "*.bat" />

Good evening! I've tried casting the config object to NameValueCollection using .NET Framework 4.5.2 of Visual Studio 2015 which I read from a tutorial on how to read config files using type NameValueSectionHandler . However, as I use the code below to cast the ConfigurationSection object to NameValueCollection, C# Code Configuration config = ConfigurationManager.OpenExeConfiguration(ConfigurationUserLevel.None); NameValueCollection scriptFiles = (NameValueCollection)config.GetSection( "scriptfiles" ); I get an error which is the title of this post. It seems that the code was applicable to older versions of .NET Framework and not the recent ones. After doing some research, I found out that the workaround is to use ConfigurationManager.GetSection() in which the parameter passed is the SectionName of the config object instead of directly casting the ConfigurationSection object returned by the config.GetSection() method. C# Code Configuration config = Configurati
