configSections - .Net Bug - Please Help

[Jaco de Villiers]

Hi,
I have added the following group and section:
<configSections>
<section name="sampleSection"

type="System.Configuration.SingleTagSectionHandler" />
<sectionGroup name="tilos.sdk">
<section name="tilos.data"
type="System.Configuration.NameValueSectionHandler,System"
/>
</sectionGroup>
</configSections>

<tilos.sdk>
<tilos.data>
<add key="Configured Environments"
value="EnvironmentList.aspx" />
</tilos.data>
</tilos.sdk>

When I debug my web application I get "Exception creating
section handler". It seems that the application does not
find the System.Dll (Standard Reference). All the paths
attempted are incorrect and does not include the framework
path. See Error detail below:

Take a look at configSections part in the file
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\<version>\CONFIG\machine.config
You can see that the specify the type with version, culture and token.

Doing the same thing in the web.config worked for me.

With kind regards,
Taco.
