how to serialize complex object to configuration file. (.Net Framework 2.0)

When I use my custom configuration file, I can't serialize complex object
using "ConfigurationProperty" or "ConfigurationCollection" attribute. There
will be one property in my custom configuration section. Whenever I set that
property, configuration will serialize it using XmlSerializer and adds to my
custom section at the configuration file.

To be more clear, is there a way to use raw xml when you are using
configuration file other than the default one?
 
You can use an XML file...

Hello Kevin,

Thanks for your reply. Instead of using XML file I want to use,
ExeConfigurationFileMap fileMap = new ExeConfigurationFileMap();

fileMap.ExeConfigFilename = "FactorySettings.config";


Configuration config =
System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.OpenMappedExeConfiguration(fileMap,
ConfigurationUserLevel.None);



I want to take the section using config.GetSections("foo") and serialize my
custom type to that section. How can I do it, do you have any idea?

I'm afraid I don't. I'm not sure it's possible.
