configSections in App.config confusion

[carl_mathews200]

I am trying to create custom sections in the App.config file and read in the values at runtime but it is really confusing me.

If i have something like....

<configSections>
     <section name="connectionProfiles" type="? What Goes Here ?" />
</configSections>

<connectionProfiles>
     <connectionProfile name="Profile1" value="MyValue" />
     <connectionProfile name="Profile2" value="AnotherValue" />
     .......
</connectionProfiles>

How do i then load those values at runtime into my application. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
