Please help me understand type attribute of web.config custom settings?
Description
The type Attribute of the Section in web.config is the "path" to the corresponding ConfigurationSection
class you have implemented. The ConfigurationSection class is the class that defines the section and the possible configuration content. The ConfigurationSection
is the base class of all configuration sections.
This belongs to .NET in general, not only web.config.
