Pages 544-545: ConfigurationSection needs a custom constructor created

On pages 544-545, steps 7 and 8 read:

"7. Select either the Program.cs or Module1.vb file, and open it. Create a new static/shared method with no return type, and name it WriteSettings, as shown here: 
' VB
Private Shared Sub WriteSettings()
End Sub

// C#
private static void WriteSettings()
{};

8. Insert the following code into the method:

' VB
Private Shared Sub WriteSettings()

	Try

		Dim LabSection As ConfigurationSection
		Dim config As _
			System.Configuration.Configuration = _
			ConfigurationManager.OpenExeConfiguration( _
			ConfigurationUserLevel.None)
		If config.Sections("LabSection") Is Nothing Then
			LabSection = New ConfigurationSection()
			config.Sections.Add("LabSection", ConfigurationSection)
			customSection.SectionInformation.ForceSave = True
			config.Save(ConfigurationSaveMode.Full)
		End If

		Catch ex As ApplicationException
			Console.WriteLine(ex.ToString())
	End Try
End Sub

// C#
try
	{
	ConfigurationSection LabSection;

	// Get the current configuration file.
	System.Configuration.Configuration config =
		ConfigurationManager.
		OpenExeConfiguration(ConfigurationUserLevel.None);

	if (config.Sections["LabSection"] == null)
		{
		customSection = new ConfigurationSection();
		config.Sections.Add("LabSection", ConfigurationSection);
		customSection.SectionInformation.ForceSave = true;
		config.Save(ConfigurationSaveMode.Full);
		}
	}
catch (ApplicationException ex)
	{
	Console.WriteLine(ex.ToString());
	}
"

They should read:

"7. Select either the Program.cs or Module1.vb file, and open it. Create a new static/shared method with no return type, and name it WriteSettings, as shown here: 
' VB
Private Shared Sub WriteSettings()
End Sub

// C#
private static void WriteSettings()
{};

Create a new public class called CustomSection, as shown here:

' VB
Public Class CustomSection
	Inherits ConfigurationSection
End Class

//C#
public class CustomSection : ConfigurationSection
{
	public CustomSection()
	{ }
}

8. Insert the following code into the method:

' VB
Try
	Dim customSection As CustomSection
	Dim config As _
	System.Configuration.Configuration = _
	ConfigurationManager.OpenExeConfiguration( _
	ConfigurationUserLevel.None)
	If config.Sections("LabSection") Is Nothing Then
		customSection = New CustomSection()
		config.Sections.Add("LabSection", customSection)
		customSection.SectionInformation.ForceSave = True
		config.Save(ConfigurationSaveMode.Full)
	End If
Catch ex As ApplicationException
	Console.WriteLine(ex.ToString())
End Try

// C#
try
	{
	CustomSection customSection;

	// Get the current configuration file.
	System.Configuration.Configuration config =
		ConfigurationManager.
		OpenExeConfiguration(ConfigurationUserLevel.None);

	if (config.Sections["LabSection"] == null)
		{
		customSection = new CustomSection();
		config.Sections.Add("LabSection", customSection);
		customSection.SectionInformation.ForceSave = true;
		config.Save(ConfigurationSaveMode.Full);
		}
	}
catch (ApplicationException ex)
	{
	Console.WriteLine(ex.ToString());
	}
