I have a DLL that provides logging that I use for WebForms projects and now wish to use it in an ASP.Net MVC 2 project.
Some aspects of that DLL are configured in app.config:
<configuration> <configSections> <section name="Tools.Instrumentation.Properties.Settings" type="System.Configuration.ClientSettingsSection, System, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" requirePermission="false" /> </sectionGroup> </configSections> <applicationSettings> <Tools.Instrumentation.Properties.Settings> <setting name="LogLevel" serializeAs="String"> <value>DEBUG</value> </setting> <setting name="AppName" serializeAs="String"> <value>MyApp</value> </setting> <setting name="Port" serializeAs="String"> <!--value>33333</value--> <value>0</value> </setting> </Tools.Instrumentation.Properties.Settings> </configuration> However, when I create a similar entry in Web.config, I get the error:
Unrecognized configuration section applicationSettings
My two-part question:
Web.config?

The <appSettings> element of a web. config file is a place to store connection strings, server names, file paths, and other miscellaneous settings needed by an application to perform work.
By adding an application configuration file (app. config file) to a C# project, you can customize how the common language runtime locates and loads assembly files. For more information about application configuration files, see How the runtime locates assemblies (. NET Framework).
The Web. Config file is used to configure Oracle Web Application functionality. This file is typically installed in the c:\Inetput\wwwroot\WebApp directory.
web. config file is an XML-based configuration file used in ASP. NET-based applications to manage various settings that are concerned with the configuration of our website. In this way, we can separate our application logic from configuration logic.
Your config file was just missing the applicationSettings section group:
<configSections> <sectionGroup name="applicationSettings" type="System.Configuration.ApplicationSettingsGroup, System, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" > <section name="Tools.Instrumentation.Properties.Settings" type="System.Configuration.ClientSettingsSection, System, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" requirePermission="false" /> </sectionGroup> </configSections> If you add that, you can put your Settings section inside the tag and your assembly should read from it as normal.

Here's the .NET 4 version of the missing configuration:
<configSections> <sectionGroup name="applicationSettings" type="System.Configuration.ApplicationSettingsGroup, System, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" > <section name="Tools.Instrumentation.Properties.Settings" type="System.Configuration.ClientSettingsSection, System, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" requirePermission="false" /> </sectionGroup> </configSections> Make sure to update the namespace of the <section>'s name attribute value to match your own.
