copied!<p>This worked --<br> Code:</p> <pre><code>class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { NameValueCollection nvc = ConfigurationManager.GetSection("MyAppSettings") as NameValueCollection; for(int i=0; i<nvc.Count; i++) { Console.WriteLine(nvc.AllKeys[i] + " " + nvc[i]); } Console.ReadLine(); } } class ParentSection : ConfigurationSection { //This may have some custom implementation } class MyAppSettingsSection : ParentSection { public static MyAppSettingsSection GetConfig() { return (MyAppSettingsSection)ConfigurationManager.GetSection("MyAppSettings"); } [ConfigurationProperty("", IsDefaultCollection = true)] public NameValueConfigurationCollection Settings { get { return (NameValueConfigurationCollection)base[""]; } } } </code></pre> <p>Configuration: </p> <pre><code><?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <configuration> <configSections>  <section name="MyAppSettings" type="System.Configuration.AppSettingsSection, System.Configuration, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a"/> </configSections> <MyAppSettings> <add key="1" value="one"/> <add key="2" value="two"/> <add key="3" value="three"/> <add key="4" value="four"/> </MyAppSettings> </configuration> </code></pre> <p>My major concern was that my section needed to inherit from a custom section and I wanted to return a NameValueCollection when the ConfigurationManager.GetSection("MyAppSettings") is called.<br> I changed the type property to AppSettingsSection, even though it's nowhere in the picture and it worked. Now I need to figure out how that worked but for now the good thing is that I have a working sample :)</p> <p><strong>Update</strong>: Unfortunately, this wasn't the expected way of achieving what was intended because now the custom section is not coming into the picture at all so unfortunately this isn't the best way to do it. </p> <p><strong>Of course, if you just wanted to rename your appsettings section this would work like a charm.</strong></p>
