Hi Raghupathi, I've seen the 2nd MS link before, but it doesn't address the sort of structure that I have with a collection within a collection. I need to have it so that I would have one class where I can roll through each "Clinic", and within each clinic, roll through each "LocInfo" maintaining the relationship of LocInfo to Clinic.
In the Section Grouping example (1st link), it doesn't show what the actual configuration XML, just the section groupings, so I'm having a problem invisioning what the config XML would look like. It appears though that this example is only showing how to retrieve the ConfigSections information, not the actual configuration information. Unless I'm completely missing the point (possible...), I don't understand how this would relate to the configuration XML structure type that I'm looking to use.
