There is a method call in a a function, I want to restrict it call based on the value set in the webConfig file.If it is true,it should be called else not.

What I have tried:

private IEnumerable<Contracts.Models.Translation> GetTranslationsIfEmpty(IEnumerable<Contracts.Models.Translation> translations, string locale, Expression<Func<Contracts.Models.Translation, Boolean>> where)
{

    if (!locale.Equals(EnglishLocale, StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase) && !translations.Any())
    {
        var englishTranslations = _translationService.Get(where);
        translations = GetTranslations(englishTranslations.ToArray(), locale);
        AddNewTranslations(translations);
    }
    return translations;
}

I want to restrict the call of AddNewTranslation() in the function based on the appSetting in webConfig file

Check the app setting inside the function and if it indicates the function is disabled throw an exception. You could consider making this a method attribute if you want to re-use the concept. It's quite a straightforwrad task so what exactly do you need help doing?

What do you mean by app setting inside the function?

I'm assuming you are going to create an app setting that dictates if this method is disabled, so in your function read the value of that app setting and act according it its value.

Simple

if (appsetting == whatever)
{
CallMethod();
}
else{
// don't call method.
}

If you are not familiar with the previous answers, here is how to check an appsetting on your web config file(or appsettings file on an exe).
1. In your config file somewhere inside the <configuration> section add something like this
<appsettings>
<add key="CanAddNewTranslation" value="false"/>

2. In your project add a .NET assembly reference to an assembly called System.Configuration.

3. At the top of your class add "using System.Configuration;"

4. now you can access the value of your key setting like this.
ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["CanAddNewTranslation"];
