CompilationSection Class

Definition

Defines configuration settings that are used to support the compilation infrastructure of Web applications. This class cannot be inherited.

public ref class CompilationSection sealed : System::Configuration::ConfigurationSection
public sealed class CompilationSection : System.Configuration.ConfigurationSection
type CompilationSection = class
    inherit ConfigurationSection
Public NotInheritable Class CompilationSection
Inherits ConfigurationSection
Inheritance

Examples

This example demonstrates how to specify values declaratively for several attributes of the compilation section, which can also be accessed as members of the CompilationSection class.

The following configuration file example shows how to specify values declaratively for the compilation section.

<system.web>  
  <compilation   
    tempDirectory=""   
    debug="False"   
    strict="False"   
    explicit="True"   
    batch="True"   
    batchTimeout="900"   
    maxBatchSize="1000"   
    maxBatchGeneratedFileSize="1000"   
    numRecompilesBeforeAppRestart="15"   
    defaultLanguage="vb"   
    targetFramework="4.0"   
    urlLinePragmas="False"   
    assemblyPostProcessorType="">  
    <assemblies>  
      <clear />  
    </assemblies>  
    <buildProviders>  
      <clear />  
    </buildProviders>  
    <expressionBuilders>  
      <clear />  
    </expressionBuilders>  
  </compilation>   
</system.web>  

The following code example demonstrates how to use members of the CompilationSection class.
