How to read system.webserver configuration section?

Question

Is there any 'nice' way to read configuration section group of IIS7 by using WebConfigurationManager o anything? I tried to read the authorization section but WebConfigurationManager.GetSection() returns an 'IgnoredSection' instance. This is what my code looks like...

authSection = WebConfigurationManager.GetSection("system.webServer/security/authorization", HttpContext.Current.Request.Path)

Answer 1

Configuration webConfig = WebConfigurationManager.OpenWebConfiguration(Request.ApplicationPath); 
ConfigurationSection cs = webConfig.GetSection("system.webServer");
if (cs != null)
{
    XDocument xml = XDocument.Load(new StringReader(cs.SectionInformation.GetRawXml()));
    ...
}
