How to add new custom section definition and its Details - asp.net

Question

I want to add new configuration section definition in <configSections> in my web.config file using the IIS7 Management Console Configuration Editor and generate a script and execute this script in the installation to update the client's production servers.
I was able to add the section definition using the following code:
ServerManager serverManager = new ServerManager();
Configuration config =
serverManager.GetWebConfiguration("Default Web site/upngisintegration");
SectionGroup rootSectionGroup = config.RootSectionGroup;
SectionDefinition logSectiondef =
rootSectionGroup.Sections.Add("loggingConfiguration");
logSectiondef.Type =
#"Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Logging.Configuration.LoggingSettings,
Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Logging, Version=2.0.0.0,
Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null";
serverManager.CommitChanges();
However, I don't know how to add the configuration detail (see below).
How do I do this?
Section Definition:
<section name="loggingConfiguration"
type="Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Logging.Configuration.LoggingSettings,
Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Logging, Version=2.0.0.0,
Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null" />
Section Details:
<loggingConfiguration
name="Logging Application Block"
tracingEnabled="true"
defaultCategory="General">
<listeners>
<add fileName="C:\temp\xxxxx.log" ..snipped for brevity.. />
<add timestampFormat="MM-dd-yyyy HH-mm-ss" ..snipped for brevity... />
</listeners>
<formatters>
<add template="...." ..snipped for brevity.../>
</formatters>
<categorySources>
<add switchValue="All" name="General">
<listeners>
<add name="RollingFile TraceListener" />
</listeners>
</add>X
<add switchValue="All" name="Inbound Outbound Trans">
<listeners>
<add name="RollingFile TraceListener" />
</listeners>
</add>
</categorySources>
<specialSources>
<allEvents switchValue="All" name="All Events" />
<notProcessed switchValue="All" name="Unprocessed Category" />
<errors switchValue="All" name="Logging Errors & Warnings">
<listeners>
<add name="RollingFile TraceListener" />
</listeners>
</errors>
</specialSources>
</loggingConfiguration>

Answer 1

After couple of days of research i had to do the following steps to generate the required scripts.
Create a custom_schema.xml with the
schema definition for Logging
Application Block(see below) .. it
is a very tedious process
Copy that file C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\config\schema
Add a Section definition in the
web.config (application's
web.config) manually
Open the IIS7 Console->Click on the
Configuration Editor (Security
group)
Select the above added section (it
should appear in the list -
loggingConfiguration)
It should show you the complete
definition
Edit the required value (funny thing
is we have to edit all the
values,even though you have default
values, otherwise you will get only
the changed values in the script)
You can click on the Generate Script
link
See below for sample custom_schema.xml
