GSF.Configuration.CategorizedSettingsBase = function(configFile, categoryName, useCategoryAttributes, requireSerializeSettingAttribute, initialize);

Parameters

configFile  ConfigurationFile

Configuration file used for accessing settings.

categoryName  String

Name of default category to use to get and set settings from configuration file.

useCategoryAttributes  Boolean

Determines if category attributes will be used for category names.

requireSerializeSettingAttribute  Boolean

Assigns flag that determines if SerializeSettingAttribute is required to exist before a field or property is serialized to the configuration file.

initialize  Boolean

Determines if Initialize method should be called from constructor.

If useCategoryAttributes is false, all settings will be placed in section labeled by the categoryName value; otherwise, if a CategoryAttribute exists on a field or property then the member value will serialized into the configuration file in a section labeled the same as the Category value and if the attribute doesn't exist the member value will serialized into the section labeled by the categoryName value.

Note that some .NET languages (e.g., Visual Basic) will not initialize member elements before call to constructor, in this case initialize should be set to false, then the Initialize method should be called manually after all properties have been initialized. Alternately, consider using the DefaultValueAttribute on the fields or properties and this will be used to initialize the values.
