Declaring an AWS Settings Section

You specify AWS settings in an App.config or Web.config file from within the aws element. Before

you can begin using the aws element, you must cerate a section element (which is a child element of

the configSections element) and set its name attribute to aws and its type attribute to

Amazon.AWSSection, AWSSDK, as shown in the following example:

<?xml version="1.0"?>

...

</configSections>

<aws>

</aws>

...

</configuration>

Note that the Visual Studio Editor does not provide automatic code completion (IntelliSense) for neither

the aws element nor its child elements.

To assist you in creating a correctly-formatted version of the aws element, call the

Amazon.AWSConfigs.GenerateConfigTemplate method. This outputs a canonical version of the

aws element as a pretty-printed string, which you can adapt to your needs.The following sections describe

the aws element's attributes and child elements.

Allowed Elements

The following is a list of the logical relationships among the allowed elements in an AWS settings section.

You can generate the latest version of this list by calling the

Amazon.AWSConfigs.GenerateConfigTemplate method, which outputs a canonical version of the

aws element as a string that you can adapt to your needs.
