今天做一个windows插件式服务程序，插件有时要读取配置文件的设置，但是服务是动态加载到服务上的，没有办法作到动态修改服务的配置文件（app.config)。在.net 2.0中有一个ConfigurationManager类可以方面的读取默认的配置文件，如果要自定义读取配置文件，这个类也提供了方法，如下所示：
var configMap = new ExeConfigurationFileMap { ExeConfigFilename = configFile }; var config = ConfigurationManager.OpenMappedExeConfiguration(configMap, ConfigurationUserLevel.None); var configurationSection = config.GetSection(sectionName);
这种获取到的对象只是这个Section的名称和xml内容，这和ConfigurationManager默认方法GetSection获取到的是一个对象，可以进行强制转换成相应的类型相比，十分的不方便。
在不想造轮子想法，在google中搜索了很久也没有找到好的解决方法。最后，还是自己研究解决。
在上面的对象“configurationSection”是一个DefaultSection的类型，它有一个属性SectionInformation，如下所示：
public System.Configuration.SectionInformation SectionInformation { get; }
这个属性包含了从配置文件中读取到的xml信息，其中这个类型一个关键方法：
public string GetRawXml()
用于获取配置中的xml内容，举例如下：
有如下配置文件：
1: <configuration>
2: <configSections>
3: <sectionGroup name="WeiboClientSectionGroup">
4: <section name="SinaSection" type="System.Configuration.NameValueSectionHandler,System, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089"/>

76: </NetEaseSection>
77: </WeiboSectionGroup>
78: <startup><supportedRuntime version="v4.0" sku=".NETFramework,Version=v4.0"/></startup></configuration>
我们sectionName=”WeiboSectionGroup/SinaSection”
上面的函数就返回如下字符串：
<SinaSection> <add key="AppKey" value=""/> <add key="AppSecret" value=""/> <add key="AuthorizeUri" value="http://api.t.sina.com.cn/oauth/authorize"/> <add key="RequestTokenUri" value="http://api.t.sina.com.cn/oauth/request_token"/> <add key="AccessTokenUri" value="http://api.t.sina.com.cn/oauth/access_token"/> <add key="CallBackUri" value="null"></add> </SinaSection>
另外此类型，还有一个Type属性，是字符串类型，如上面的配置，读取出来就是“
System.Configuration.NameValueSectionHandler,System, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089
”
根据上面的信息，我们就可以首先使用反射的方式，生成对象NameValueSectionHandler，现调用此对的Create方法进行创建NameValueCollection，如下所示：
private static TReturn LoadSection<TReturn>(SectionInformation information) where TReturn:class { string[] strs = information.Type.Split(",".ToCharArray(), 2); var handler = (IConfigurationSectionHandler)Assembly.Load(strs[1]).CreateInstance(strs[0]); var doc = new XmlDocument(); doc.LoadXml(information.GetRawXml()); if (handler != null) return (TReturn)handler.Create(null, null, doc.ChildNodes[0]); return null; }
下面提供一个完整的实例：
1: public abstract class ConfigBase<T> where T:class
2: {
3: protected ConfigBase(string sectionName, string configFile)
4: {
5: if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(configFile))
6: {
7: Section = (T)ConfigurationManager.GetSection(sectionName);
8: }
9: else
10: {
11: var configMap = new ExeConfigurationFileMap { ExeConfigFilename = configFile };
12: var config = ConfigurationManager.OpenMappedExeConfiguration(configMap, ConfigurationUserLevel.None);
13: var configurationSection = config.GetSection(sectionName);
14: if (configurationSection != null)
15: {
16: Section = LoadSection(configurationSection.SectionInformation);
17: }
18: }
19: }
20:
21: private static TReturn LoadSection<TReturn>(SectionInformation information) where TReturn:class
22: {
23: string[] strs = information.Type.Split(",".ToCharArray(), 2);
24: var handler = (IConfigurationSectionHandler)Assembly.Load(strs[1]).CreateInstance(strs[0]);
25: var doc = new XmlDocument();
26: doc.LoadXml(information.GetRawXml());
27: if (handler != null)
28: return (TReturn)handler.Create(null, null, doc.ChildNodes[0]);
29: return null;
30: }
31:
32: protected T LoadSection(SectionInformation information)
33: {
34: return LoadSection<T>(information);
35: }
36:
37: protected T Section { get; private set; }
38: }
上面是一个抽象类，从上面的类进行继承，就可以实现功能，如下所示：
1: public class ClientConfig : ConfigBase<NameValueCollection>
2: {
3: public ClientConfig(WeiboType weiboType)
4: : this(weiboType, null)
5: {
6: }
7:
8: public ClientConfig(WeiboType weiboType, string configFile)
9: : base(string.Format("WeiboClientSectionGroup/{0}Section", weiboType), configFile)
10: {
11: }
12:
13: public string AccessToken
