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.Configuration.ApplicationSettingsGroup), should it be there?
System.Configuration and System.Configuration.Install is referenced by the
project. If I remove the type parameter and value, I get the error:
Unrecognized attribute 'requirePermision'.
It appears 'requirePermision' parameter is no longer used, so when I remove
it,
I get an error with ConectionStrings section!!
Unrecognized configuration section 'connectionStrings'
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.
