Dynamic CRM Trick BagHi,
We had a requirement to encrypt a particular node and its corresponding child elements in one of our xml file. While searching for the best and the simplest way to do so, I came across these wonderful posts which make use of EncrptedXml class.

Hope it helps
To resolve this issue, download and install .NET Framework 3.5 sp1.
Or if it is Windows Server 2008 R2, just enable the .NET Framework 3.5.1 Features using Server Manager or else you will get the following error
“You must use role management tool to install or configure Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5″
Bye.
Hi,
These are the steps to be followed to sign an already built assembly
Open Visual Studio Command prompt.
Generate a KeyFile:
sn -k keyPair.snk
Obtain the MSIL for the provided assembly:
ildasm myAssembly.dll /out:myAssembly.il
Rename/move the original assembly
Create a new assembly from the MSIL output and your assembly
ilasm myAssembly.il /dll /key= keyPair.snk
Bye..
Suppose we want to create a custom config section in this following manner
<queryTypes>
<queryType name=“qt1“ value=“qt1 value“></queryType>
<queryType name=“qt2“ value=“qt2 value“></queryType>
</queryTypes>
For implementing the above custom section we need to first define a class inheriting from ConfigurationSection class
Add reference to System.Configuration dll.
Create a new config section class in the following manner
// implement ConfiguraionSection class
class QueryTypesSection : ConfigurationSection
{
public QueryTypesSection()
{
}
[ConfigurationProperty("", IsDefaultCollection = true)]
public QueryTypesCollection QueryTypes
{
get
{
return (QueryTypesCollection)base[""];
}
}
}
// Represents a configuration element containing a collection of child elements
public sealed class QueryTypesCollection : ConfigurationElementCollection
{
protected override ConfigurationElement CreateNewElement()
{
return new QueryTypeElement();
}
protected override object GetElementKey(ConfigurationElement element)
{
return ((QueryTypeElement)element).Name;
}
public override ConfigurationElementCollectionType CollectionType
{
get
{
return ConfigurationElementCollectionType.BasicMap;
}
}
protected override string ElementName
{
get
{
return “queryType”;
}
}
}
// Defining QueryTypeElement with name and value attribute
public sealed class QueryTypeElement : ConfigurationElement
{
// defining name attribute
[ConfigurationProperty("name", IsRequired = true)]
public string Name
{
get
{
return (string)this ["name"];
}
set
{
this["name"] = value;
}
}
// defining value attribute
[ConfigurationProperty("value", IsRequired = true)]
public string Value
{
get
{
return (string)this["value"];
}
set
{
this["value"] = value;
}
}
}
Now to register your custom section do the following
<configSections>
<section name=“queryTypes“ type=“namespace.QueryTypesSection, namespace “ />
</configSections>
And to use it within the application
QueryTypesSection queryTypeSection = (QueryTypesSection)ConfigurationManager.GetSection(“queryTypes”);
QueryTypesCollection queryTypeCollection = queryTypeSection.QueryTypes;
foreach (QueryTypeElement se in queryTypeCollection)
{
string name=se.Name;
string value = se.Value;
}
That’s it…
At times instead of using appSettings section we would like to define our own custom section within configuration file.
Suppose we want to create a custom config section in this following manner
<SimplConfigSection id=“myID“ name=“myName“ />
For implementing the above custom section we need to first define a class inheriting from ConfigurationSection class
Add reference to System.Configuration dll.
Create a new config section class in the following manner
// inherit the class ConfigurationSection
class SimpleConfigSection : ConfigurationSection
{
public SimpleConfigSection()
{
}
// using ConfigurationProperty attribute to define the attribute
[ConfigurationProperty("id",IsRequired = true)]
public String ID
{
get
{ return (String)this["id"]; }
set
{ this["id"] = value; }
}
// using ConfigurationProperty attribute to define the attribute
[ConfigurationProperty("name", IsRequired = true)]
public String Name
{
get
{ return (String)this["name"]; }
set
{ this["name"] = value; }
}
}
Now to register your custom section do the following
<configSections>
<section name=“SimplConfigSection“ type=“Namespace.SimpleConfigSection, Namespace“ />
</configSections>
And to use it within the application
SimpleConfigSection simpleConfig = (SimpleConfigSection)ConfigurationManager.GetSection(“SimplConfigSection”);
string id = simpleConfig.ID;
string name = simpleConfig.Name;
That’s it …
