parsing XML from a configuration file Custom Section Handler.

I am trying to create a custom section and section handler in my config
file.

The custom section should be something like;
<appSecurity>
<method name = "Protect the Ice Cream">
<allow group = "admin"/>
<allow group = "ice cream eaters"/>
<deny group= "weightwatchers"/>
<deny user = "hazz"/>
</method>
</appSecurity>

How would I parse this XML when a simple Data Handler looks like the
following;
Implements IConfigurationSectionHandler where a simple Section Handler looks
like the following;

Dim data As New NameValueCollection()

Dim root As XmlElement = CType(section, XmlElement)

Dim node As XmlNode

For Each node In root.ChildNodes

data.Add(node.Name, node.InnerText)

Next

*************

Thank you,

ps. I also posted this to the ASP.NET group and C# group. After I found this
newsgroup, I realized that this is probably the best place!

The context to this question is Rocky's article-> specifically the custom
handler section.
