During this learn how to use declarative model for defining the behavior of a configuration section handler.

Yep, sound quality sounds like there are some pieces cut out. You'll have to redo this one. Cheers

Thanks for offering the video, butpretty pointless when from the 1st second the audio jumps.

I thought this site was about providing a source for showing off all the neat things asp??

Watching that video reminds me of listening to an old record with lots of scratches on it.

Get a  grip, replace the videos!!

This is not the only videolike this either.

Hi Chris,

Thanks for your tutorial..

I read MSDN and stuff mentioned in your tutorial to polish up knowledge and run into this:

ConfigurationPropertyAttribute description.

This API supports the .NET Framework infrastructure and is not intended to be used directly from your code.

Does it mean that your approach to save/get config parameters is not recommended by Microsoft?

Does any one know if they have plans to replace this. This video is real bad. The sound is all screwed up and I can't here what he says
