Custom config section containing collection

Viewed 9884

I'm having trouble getting a custom config section to work. It's some code I got from the web in an effort to try to understand this area a little better and enable me to get to where I want to ultimatly be, my own custom config section.

The error I get when I run the code in a console app is ' Unrecognized attribute 'extension'. Note that attribute names are case-sensitive.'

The code in the main app to get things going is

var conf = ConfigurationManager.GetSection("uploadDirector");

and this is where the exception appears.

This is the config section I am hoping/trying to achieve

<AuthorisedClients>
    <AuthorisedClient name="Client">
      <Queue id="1" />
      <Queue id="7" />
    </AuthorisedClient>
    <AuthorisedClient name="Client2">
      <Queue id="3" />
      <Queue id="4" />
    </AuthorisedClient>
  </AuthorisedClients>

Here's the code I have got from the web

.config file

<uploadDirector>
    <filegroup name="documents" defaultDirectory="/documents/">
      <clear/>
      <add extension="pdf" mime="application/pdf" maxsize="100"/>
      <add extension="doc" mime="application/word" maxsize="500"/>
    </filegroup>
    <filegroup name="images">
      <clear/>
      <add extension="gif" mime="image/gif" maxsize="100"/>
    </filegroup>
  </uploadDirector>

UploadDirectorConfigSection.cs

public class UploadDirectorConfigSection : ConfigurationSection {

        private string _rootPath;

        public UploadDirectorConfigSection() {

        }

        [ConfigurationProperty("rootpath", DefaultValue="/", IsRequired=false, IsKey=false)]
        [StringValidator(InvalidCharacters=@"~!.@#$%^&*()[]{};'\|\\")]
        public string RootPath {
            get { return _rootPath; }
            set { _rootPath = value; }
        }

        [ConfigurationProperty("", IsRequired = true, IsKey = false, IsDefaultCollection = true)]
        public FileGroupCollection FileGroups {
            get { return (FileGroupCollection) base[""]; }
            set { base[""] = value; }
        }
    }

        }

        protected override string ElementName {
            get {
                return "filegroup";

        }

        protected override bool IsElementName(string elementName) {
            if (string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(elementName) || elementName != "filegroup")
                return false;
            return true;
        }

        public FileGroupElement this[int index] {
            get { return (FileGroupElement) BaseGet(index); }
            set {
                if(BaseGet(index) != null)
                    BaseRemoveAt(index);
