Mocking out configuration section

[viskin]

I use IConfigurationManager to mock configuration, but I found no easy way to mock values stored in configuration sections.

For example, I want to change session timeout during test.

I get session timeout from web.config in following way:

  SessionStateSection section =  (SessionStateSection)_configurationManager.GetSection("system.web/sessionState");
  sessionTimeout = TimeSpan.FromMinutes((int)section.Timeout.TotalMinutes);

where _configurationManager is instance of IConfigurationManager.

How can I set values for "system.web/sessionState" section using System.Configuration.Abstractions?

Hey - at the moment custom configuration sections aren't supported.
There's no reason they can't be however.

I'm on holiday from tomorrow until the 20th, but I'll take a look at this when I get back and see what I can work in.
