<Configuration>
<ConfigSections>
<Section name = "RemotingObject" type = "RemotingObject"/>
</ConfigSections>
<System. web>
<Compilation debug = "true" targetFramework = "4.0"/>
</System. web>
<RemotingObject available = "true" pollTimeout = "00:01:00" location = "tcp: // OrderComputer: 8010/OrderService"/>
</Configuration>

Get custom node content:

[Csharp]
// Open the configuration file
Configuration config = WebConfigurationManager. OpenWebConfiguration ("~ /");
// Get the configuration section object
RemotingObject custSection =
(RemotingObject) config. GetSection ("RemotingObject ");
// Display configuration section information
LblInfo. Text + = "getting custom configuration section information... <br/>" +
"<B> Location: </B>" + custSection. Location +
"<Br/> <B> Available or not: </B>" + custSection. Available. ToString () +
"<Br/> <B> Timeout: </B>" + custSection. PollTimeout. ToString () + "<br/> ";
