Syntax

HRESULT get_ConfigManager(  
   [out,  
   retval] IAppHostConfigManager** ppConfigManager  
);  

Parameters

ppConfigManager
A pointer to a pointer for an IAppHostConfigManager interface.

Return Value

An HRESULT. Possible values include, but are not limited to, those in the following table.

Value	Description
S_OK	Indicates that the operation was successful.
HRESULT_FROM_WIN32(ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER)	Indicates that ppConfigManager is NULL.
HRESULT_FROM_WIN32(ERROR_NOT_ENOUGH_MEMORY)	Indicates that the method cannot allocate enough memory for the return value.

The following code example demonstrates the role of the IAppHostConfigManager interface in accessing the configuration system.
