Go the custom config way.
You can do things like crete your own collections like this:
<plantypes>
<clearplans/>
<addplan value="1" name="Business Continuity Plan"/>
<addplan value="2" name="Site Incident Plan"/>
<addplan value="3" name="Major Incident Plan"/>
<addplan value="4" name="Crisis Management Plan"/>
</plantypes>
As a side note, do we not think that xml is just getting to verbose for
configuration.
Has anybody looked at Binsor by Ayende,
http://www.ayende.com/Blog/archive/7268.aspx
I use it for my castle configuration and it is ust soooooo much more compact
and concise.
Trying to have logic and decisions in xml is beyond the mark. It is not what
it is intended for.NAnt now has a Boo alternative to Xml that is really cool.
