Exceptions in IConfigurationSectionHandler.Create() (2 replies, VIP)
microsoft.public.dotnet.general
Hi all, I'm writing my own custom config section handler. Since I'm parsing my custom part of web.config in Create(), I'd like to throw some meaningful errors if a user has made a mistake.

Thanks. Oleg.
