Configuration Path Search Result Sections <section>

The <section> element of the <searchResult> element contains a collection of section names returned by the configuration search. For example, "system.webServer/security/authentication/windowsAuthentication."

The <section> element of the <searchResult> element is included in the default installation of IIS 7.

There is no user interface for the <CONFIGPATHS> element for IIS 7. For examples of how to access the <CONFIGPATHS> element programmatically, see the Code Samples section of this document.

None.

The following code examples use the <configPaths> element to search the Default Web Site configuration namespace for every <system.webServer/defaultDocument> element, and then output the path and location for each element to the console.
