  1. I am attempting to develop a web site that has a UI for input into an Access db. I am using Visual Web Developer Express. The browser view works fine, but after I FTP the files to the website, I get a config error: Parser Error Message: Unrecognized configuration section 'connectionStrings'.

    Line 10: <configuration>
    Line 11: <appSettings/>
    Line 12: <connectionStrings/>
    Line 13: <system.web>
    Line 14: <!--


    And at the bottom of the error message it says:
    Version Information:Microsoft .NET Framework Version:1.1.4322.2300; ASP.NET Version:1.1.4322.2300

    I am curious about why there is a Parser Error Message here because this is code produced by VWD, and I am also curious about the Version Information. Should it not be Version 2.0?

    Thanks!<!

  2. The problem is that your application is running ASP.Net version 1.1 and you need it to be running 2.0 (connectionStrings didn't exist in 1.1).

    DiscountASP has a very simple little tool that lets you choose your Framework version.

    - Log into your account at my.discountasp.net
    - Click 'IIS Manager' on the left hand menu
    - Click the '.NET Framework' tab and choose 2.0.

    That will get you on 2.0 and should take care of the connectionStrings error!
     
  3. Thank you! That took care ofthe connection string problem. I appreciate the help. Hope that I can pass some help along sometime. Thanks again.

    Thanks
