How to specify the name of a known section?

[Vitokhv]

The contents of the config.ini file look like this:

[GUID]
value01={c3e342de-91d0-483f-9e89-0d41c0eac2ea}
value02={84a8ca81-482d-4cfb-a2a1-894aa3109e15}
value03={232ca175-6574-4569-9d75-264caa79d56f}

[SETTING]
value01=true
value02=true
value03=false

The code below reads all sections, need to read only in the necessary known section [GUID]

var parser = new FileIniDataParser();
IniData data = parser.ReadFile("C:\\config.ini");         

foreach (SectionData section in data.Sections)
{
       foreach (KeyData key in section.Keys)
        listBox1.Items.Add(key.KeyName);
}

Do you mean, you wnat to read the exact section, without reading and parsing the whole INI file? It seems to me there is no such possibility. If you need only to switch wether you need to do some stuff with the section or not - just use "if" for the inner "foreach" in your example. Something like this

var parser = new FileIniDataParser();
IniData data = parser.ReadFile("C:\\config.ini");         

foreach (SectionData section in data.Sections)
{
       if (section.SectionName == "GUID")
                {
                    foreach (KeyData key in section.Keys)
                        ;//do some stuff here
                }
}

Also you can use LINQ, as SectionDataCollection implements IEnumerable<T> interface:

foreach (SectionData section in data.Sections.Where(s => s.SectionName == "GUID"))
{            
    foreach (KeyData key in section.Keys)
    ; //some cool stuff here                
}

There is a simpler way

// Iterates over each key inside of GUID
foreach(var key in data["GUID"]) {

}

zetroot Thank you for taking the time to my question, it works:

var parser = new FileIniDataParser();
IniData data = parser.ReadFile("C:\\config.ini");

foreach (SectionData section in data.Sections)
{
    if (section.SectionName == "GUID")
    {
         foreach (KeyData key in section.Keys)
             listBox1.Items.Add(key.KeyName);
    }
}

rickyah Thanks for telling library features, it works:

var parser = new FileIniDataParser();
IniData data = parser.ReadFile("C:\\config.ini");

foreach (var key in data["GUID"])
    listBox1.Items.Add(key.KeyName);

One problem when creating a binding to the listBox had to change key.Name to key.KeyName
