Ahh, you're right - currently it looks like we won't ever get non-public indexers (this one is family or assembly, which is "protected internal" in C# speak). This is a bug, I've opened CodePlex bug #2766 for this (http://www.codeplex.com/WorkItem/List.aspx?ProjectName=IronPython).
A simple workaround would be to write a class in C# that derives from this and exposes these publicly, and then use that class from IronPython. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jason Ferrara Sent: Thursday, August 31, 2006 1:14 PM To: Discussion of IronPython Subject: Re: [IronPython] custom ConfigurationSection in IronPython On Aug 31, 2006, at 4:00 PM, Dino Viehland wrote: > The Item property is the default indexer, so you should be able to > access it using foo[index]. Thats what I thought, but it doesn't work. And if I do dir() on ConfigurationElement I don't see a __getitem__ or __setitem__, though with other .NET classes that have the Item property I do. > > As for your other question - Martin looked into this but I didn't see > a response from him...
