I created a simple class and it's converter add the register in the web.config something like this:

  <sectionGroup name="Navigation">
      <section name="NavigationData" type="PersonConverter, App_Code"/>
    </sectionGroup>

...

....

    <NavigationData>
      <add type="Person, App_Code" />
    </NavigationData>

but my code fails here:

    public IEnumerable SearchWithCompletePerson() {
        return from p in _People
               select new {
                   p.Name,
                   p.DateOfBirth,
                   Link = StateController.GetNavigationLink("SelectWithCompletePerson",
                                                            new NavigationData()
                                                                           {
                                                                               {"foo", p}
                                                                           })
               };
    }

It says that my converter it's not implementing the

IConfigurationSectionHandler

but after implementing that interface I still have weird errors, and maybe I'm doing something very wrong.

Cool project by the way, cool code.

Hi,

Thanks very much for the question and I'm really glad you like the code.

Your sectionGroup is where the error is, it should read as follows:

<sectionGroup name="Navigation">
      <section name="NavigationData" type="Navigation.ConverterInfoSectionHandler, Navigation"/>
</sectionGroup>

You don't need to register your PersonConverter class in the configuration as long as it is specified through the TypeConverter attribute on top of the Person class:

	[TypeConverter(typeof(PersonConverter))]
	public class Person
	{
	}

I hope this helps,

Graham

Thank you very much for your quick answer, you were right, I have my custom navigation data working.
