I'm trying to configure web.config following MSDN docs but keep getting
errors I don't know how to resolve..

<configuratio n>
<!--error-->
<appSettings file="AppSettin gs.config" />
<!--error-->
<appSettings configSource="A ppSettings.conf ig"/>
</configuration>

Any idea how to resolve?

The contents of the Web.config is in valid that's what the 500.19 means. And
something that will run on IIS5 and XP may not apply to IIS7 and Vista.

I have found that whatever examples you're using, you must find the
equivalent example for IIS7 and Vista.

I was also getting the same error when trying the following:

<appSettings>
<add key="applicatio nName" value="MyApplic ation" />
</appSettings>

So what do I try next? I tried using the Website Administration Tool and
added a setting. Running the website does not generate an error anymore
which is why this stuff is madness and insanity.

But trying to access this property should return results but does not even
when loading the website in a new instance of a browser which reloads the
edited web.config file to expose its newly added properties.

applicationName = ConfigurationSe ttings.AppSetti ngs("applicatio nName");
Page.Title = applicationName .ToString();

Need to use a Get method...

string appName;
appName = ConfigurationSe ttings.AppSetti ngs.Get("MyAppl icationName");
