Vista - XML processing my web.config file in PowerShell

Folks,

I'm trying to get the hang of dealing with my web.config files for
ASP.NET from PowerShell.

Now I can easily load a web.config and all:

PS> [xml]$x = ${web.config}

PS> $x

xml configuration
--- -------------
configuration

PS> $x.configuration

xmlns : http://schemas.microsoft.com/.NetConfiguration/v2.0
configSections : configSections
appSettings : appSettings
system.web : system.web
system.webServer : system.webServer

but the tricky question is: how can I access the "system.web" sections
where the real meat of the config is??

I can easily get into $x.configuration.configSections, or
$x.configuration.appSettings, but no luck with
$x.configuration.system.web........ what's the "magic" trick to unlock
that??? :-)

Thanks!
Marc

Because system.web has a dot, the "web" is treated as a property and there
is no "web" element.
Try to wrap it with quotation marks and append the child element manually.

$x.configuration."system.web".webServices
