Problem with Web.config

[Dave]

Hello I hves some problem in my Web.conficg file.
The problem is following:

I have created some custom settings in this way:
==============================================
<!-- Define handlers of the custom settings for MailManager system -->
<configSections>
<section name="mySqlSettings"
type="System.Configuration.SingleTagSectionHandler " />
</configSections>

<!-- Define sections of the custom settings for MailManager system -->
<mySqlSettings ConnectionString="My; Connection; String" />
==============================================

Then I'm trying to read this setting from my application at runtime:
==============================================
IDictionary sampleTable = (IDictionary)
ConfigurationSettings.GetConfig("mySqlSettings");
someLabel.Text=(string)sampleTable["ConnectionString"];
==============================================

But when I do it I have the error:
==============================================
Server Error in '/WebApplication1' Application.

Configuration Error

Source Error:

Line 8: <section name="mySqlSettings"
Line 9: type="System.Configuration.SingleTagSectionHandler "
Line 10: />
Line 11: </configSections>

Source File: c:\inetpub\wwwroot\WebApplication1\web.config Line: 9

Version Information: Microsoft .NET Framework Version:1.1.4322.573; ASP.NET
Version:1.1.4322.573
==============================================

Can anybody tell me what I'm doing wrong and how can I fix this problem?
