ASP.Net 2.0 QuickStart: Object reference not set to an instance of an object

[J.S.]

I am trying to use the web.config encryption sample at
http://beta.asp.net/QUICKSTART/util...ptedSection.src&file=EncryptedSection_cs.aspx

However, this line is giving me an error:

AppSettingsEncrypted.Text = "\r\n" +
Server.HtmlEncode(appSettingsXml.OuterXml);

The error message includes this information:

Exception Details: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set
to an instance of an object.

I would appreciate any pointers in this regard.

Thanks,
J.S.

Pat,

I have these namespaces in my page:

<%@ Import Namespace="System.Configuration" %>
<%@ Import Namespace="System.Web.Configuration" %>
<%@ Import Namespace="System.Xml" %>

Thanks,
