How to get a List collection of values from app.config in WPF?

Question

The following example fills the ItemsControl with a List of BackupDirectories which I get from code.

How can I change this

Answer 1

Thank for the question. But I have found my own solution to this problem. At first, I created a method

    public T GetSettingsWithDictionary() where T:new()
    {
        IConfigurationRoot _configurationRoot = new ConfigurationBuilder()
        .AddXmlFile($"{Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location}.config", false, true).Build();

        var instance = new T();
        foreach (var property in typeof(T).GetProperties())
        {
            if (property.PropertyType == typeof(Dictionary))
            {
                property.SetValue(instance, _configurationRoot.GetSection(typeof(T).Name).Get>());
                break;
            }

        }
        return instance;
    }

Then I used this method to produce an instance of a class

var connStrs = GetSettingsWithDictionary();

I have the next declaration of class

public class AuthMongoConnectionStrings
{
    public Dictionary ConnectionStrings { get; set; }
}

and I store my setting in App.config
