I'm having trouble constructing the XmlSerializer without getting a
Configuration Exception(Only elements allowed: Line 3) in Dev Studio 2003.
When I remove the <system.diagnostics> node from my app.config I don't have
any issues but I wanted to keep the node. Please let me know if anyone has
any ideas.


app.config:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
<system.diagnostics>
<assert assertuienabled="true" logfilename="assert.txt"/>
<switches>
<add name="General" value="1"/>
</switches>
<trace autoflush="true" indentsize="0"/>
</system.diagnostics>
</configuration>

Code:
[XmlRoot("foo", IsNullable = false,
Namespace="http://foo.com/"),Serializable]
public class Foo
{
};

class Class1
{
[STAThread]
static void Main(string[] args)
{
try
{
XmlSerializer serializer= new XmlSerializer(typeof(Foo));
}
catch( Exception exp )
{
System.Console.WriteLine( exp.ToString() );
System.Console.ReadLine();
}
}

I build a same project in VS.NET 2003, but I didn't find the exception, all
work well. And my server is win 2003 sever with both of .net framework 2.0
and 1.1 sp1 installed. Is this different from yours?
