IConfiguration.GetSection with Where selector - asp.net-core

Question

I'm using IConfiguration.GetSection to retrieve configuration information from a config file:
var loggingProviders = Config.GetSection( "Logging" ).Get<LoggingProviders>();
which works just fine, but I want to only retrieve entries that are enabled, so I want to do either of these:
var loggingProviders = Config.GetSection( "Logging" ).Get<LoggingProviders>().Where( x => x.Enabled == true );
var loggingProviders = Config.GetSection( "Logging" ).Where( x => x.Enabled == true ).Get<LoggingProviders>();
But I keep getting hitting a dead end, any advice would be appreciated!

If you want to use .Where,it needs to be a list,here is a demo:
public class LoggingProviders
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public bool Enabled { get; set; }
}
appsettings.json:
"Logging1": [
{
"Id": "1",
"Enabled": "true"
},
{
"Id": "2",
"Enabled": "true"
},
{
"Id": "3",
"Enabled": "false"
}
]
startup:
public IConfiguration Configuration { get; }
...
List<LoggingProviders> loggingProviders = Configuration.GetSection("Logging1").Get<List<LoggingProviders>>().Where(x => x.Enabled == true).ToList();
result:
If you don't get a list,and want to use .where,you can try to change it to list first.Here is a demo.
appsettings.json:
"Logging1":
{
"Id": "1",
"Enabled": "true"
},
startup:
public IConfiguration Configuration { get; }
...
List<LoggingProviders> l= new List<LoggingProviders>();
l.Add(Configuration.GetSection("Logging1").Get<LoggingProviders>());
List<LoggingProviders> loggingProviders = l.Where(x => x.Enabled == true).ToList();
result:
