appSettings key in web.config causes error

Eric Sabine

the second I add

<appSettings>

</appSettings>

to my web.config file (just after the <system.web>) , my web application will
no longer run. I get an error that reads:

Error while tyring to run projectL Unable to start debugging on the web
server. Server side-error occurred on sending debug HTTP request...

any ideas?

Hi Eric,

You'll want to put it *before* <system.web>

<configuratio n>
<appSettings>
<add key="Applicatio n Name" value="MyApplic ation" />
</appSettings>

<system.web>
.......
</configuration>

<appSettings> goes outside of <system.web>, but inside <configuration> . Once
you move it here, you are golden.

Hi Eric,

Do you have the <appSettings> element within a <configuratio n> element?

<configuratio n>
<appSettings>
<add key="KeyName" value="SomeValu e" />
</appSettings>
</configuration>
