IAppHostSectionDefinition::OverrideModeDefault Property

Gets or sets the default override behavior for the current configuration section.

Syntax

HRESULT get_OverrideModeDefault(  
   [out,  
   retval] BSTR* pbstrOverrideModeDefault  
);  
HRESULT put_OverrideModeDefault(  
   BSTR bstrOverrideModeDefault  
);   

Parameters

pbstrOverrideModeDefault
A pointer to a BSTR that indicates the default override behavior. Valid values are "Allow" and "Deny".

bstrOverrideModeDefault
A BSTR that indicates the default override behavior. Valid values are "Allow" and "Deny".

Return Value

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

Remarks

If you do not explicitly set the value of this property, the default is "Allow". "Allow" specifies that settings can be overridden in lower levels of configuration; "Deny" specifies that settings cannot be overridden.

Description

The following code example creates a new section group and a new section, and then sets the OverrideModeDefault property value of the newly generated section to "Deny".
