The following table lists the properties exposed by the AppSettingsSection class.

Name	Description
File	A read/write string value that specifies a relative path of an external custom application configuration file. The specified path is relative to the local configuration file. If the specified file cannot be found, IIS ignores the value specified. The external file uses the same key/value pair format as the AppSettings property, but the <appSettings> element, not the <configuration> element, must be the root node. Note: Changes to the Web.config file cause the application to restart; however, you can avoid this by having users modify the AppSettingsSection values in a separate file.
Location	(Inherited from ConfigurationSection.) A key property.
Path	(Inherited from ConfigurationSection.) A key property.
SectionInformation	(Inherited from ConfigurationSection.)
AppSettings	An array of KeyValueElement values that contain key/value pairs that specify application setting names and corresponding values.

This class contains no subclasses.
