The Item property is the default indexer, so you should be able to access it using foo[index].
As for your other question - Martin looked into this but I didn't see a response from him... The problem seems to be that we don't define a parameterless constructor that the configuration section can call. The reason for that is that our objects actually need to receive a DynamicType object which represents the class - without this we wouldn't be able to know your type was MySettings. Unfortunately I think this might make it impossible for you to define this class in IronPython. You could define a stub in C# that calls into your Python using the engine APIs but that might be more work than it's worth. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jason Ferrara Sent: Thursday, August 31, 2006 12:56 PM To: Discussion of IronPython Subject: Re: [IronPython] custom ConfigurationSection in IronPython I have another related question. The "Item" property of System.Configuration.ConfigurationElement (base class for ConfigurationSection) doesn't seem to be accessible from IronPython. Is this because its overloaded by parameter type? Is there a way to access it from IronPython? Thanks - Jason On Aug 30, 2006, at 2:33 PM, Jason Ferrara wrote: > I want to write a custon ConfigurationSection in IronPython.
