title: How to include simple collections in ConfigurationSection
body: <p>Is there a way for me to include a simple array of strings, or List&lt;string&gt; on my custom subclass of ConfigurationSection?  (Or an array or generic list of simple data objects, for that matter?)</p>
  
  <p>I'm becoming familiar with the new (and VERY verbose) ConfigurationSection, ConfigurationElement, and ConfigurationElementCollection classes, but I'm by no means an expert yet.</p>
  
  <p>It seems like ConfigurationSection should handle simple collections/lists on its own, without me having to create a custom ConfigurationElementCollection subclass for each and every one.  But I haven't found any reference to this ability online.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Edit:</strong> accepting Dan's response as the answer, since it's probably the closest thing I'm going to get to the "old style" configSections.  I always found it easy, flexible, and elegant that any XmlSerializable object could easily become a configSection.  I'm sure the new framework is more powerful; however it's sad that it is SO cumbersome for simple configuration contructs, that we're reduced to going back to String.Split().</p>
