[Help needed]: Error retrieving data from Web.config.

[DS]

Hi all,

Will appreciate if someone can help me with this problem.

I am using VS 2003 on Win2000, sp 4. 2GB RAM.
Session data is stored on DB on another machine in network. Can
connect to the DB (no problem with that). I try to save DB connection
string in web.config file, as described in MSDN 'Declaring and
Accessing Section Groups' article. I think this is optimal way/place
to store global variables accessible from any part of application. I
am getting following error while trying to retrieve value from
Web.config:

==
Parser Error Message: Exception creating section handler.

For assemblies located in the GAC (which System is) you need to specify the
assemblies strong name:

System.Configur ation.NameValue FileSectionHand ler, System,
Version=1.0.330 0.0, Culture=neutral , PublicKeyToken= b77a5c561934e08 9
