Web.Config parsing errors with Web App projects using IIS

David Williams

Has the Schema of the Web.Config changed in Web App Projects? After
converting my 2005 Web Site project to a 2005 WAP, and switching to IIS
Web Server, I am getting a number of errors at run time in my web.config
files starting with:
Unrecognized attribute 'type'.
This error occurs when parsing the web.config file where first highlighted
below.
I do not see the referenced type in the GAC
(System.Configu ration.Applicat ionSettingsGrou p), should it be there?
System.Configur ation and System.Configur ation.Install is referenced by the
project. If I remove the type parameter and value, I get the error:
Unrecognized attribute 'requirePermisi on'.
It appears 'requirePermisi on' parameter is no longer used, so when I remove
it,
I get an error with ConectionString s section!!
Unrecognized configuration section 'connectionStri ngs'

I am including part of the config file that appears to be causing the error,
modified
only to hide connection string passwords etc. This error does not seem to
occur
when using Development Server. BTW I followed the steps provided by Scott
Guthrie to convert from WSP to WAP.

IIS virtual directories were set to 1.1 instead of 2.0.

config files - how to avoid clutter?

by: Marty McDonald | last post by:

Many of an app's classes could read the config file. The config file could contain many elements, and it will be difficult to know which config file entry belongs to which class. I could adopt a naming scheme for the elements. But am I limited to using the <appSettings> element for my settings? It would be good to have elements such as <myClass1Stuff> so that it's easy to tell which settings go with each class. But whether I put...
