Web part blues

[Guest]

I made a web part for Business Portal using Visual Studio. It worked fine on
my station. On the remote server, it gave me the following error message:
"Unrecoginzed configuration section 'connectionStrings'". I googled the
error message, and was told to install .NET Framework 2.0. Now Business
Portal tells me, "This page has encountered a critical error. Contact your
system administrator if this problem persists." and I'm not even navigating
to the page with the new webpart.

Thx in advance for your help.

It sounds like there's a syntax error in the web.config. There should be
more detail in the event log.

Event log? Sorry, I'm a newbie. Could you be more specific please?

What follows is the configuration error:
*****
Description: An error occurred during the processing of a configuration file
required to service this request. Please review the specific error details
below and modify your configuration file appropriately.

Parser Error Message: Unrecognized configuration section 'connectionStrings'

Source Error:


[No relevant source lines]


Source File: web.config Line: 12
*****

This is line 12 from my web.config:
*****
<add name="ePrizeAppConnectionString" connectionString="Data
Source=JACKIE;Initial Catalog=ePrizeApp;Integrated Security=True"
providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/>
*****

Am I correct in assuming that 'Integrated Security=True' is the same as
Windows Authentication? Could this be the difference between my station and
the server?

Thanks again

re:

<connectionStrings> is not part of the 1.1 Framework configuration.
It's part of the 2.0 .Net Framework configuration.

If you're using 1.1, use <appSettings>, instead.

Adding to my previous reply, you need to change
the .Net Framework version that your application targets.

Use the ASP.NET tab in the Internet Service Manager
to change the Asp.Net version for your app to 2.0.

Do you mean Internet Information Services Manager? Do you mean to set
ASP.NET v2.0.50727 to "Allowed" under Web Services Extensions? That was done.

Thanks

No.

I mean right-clicking your application's name in the
list in the Internet Information Services Manager,
selecting "Properties", and then selecting the "ASP.NET" tab.

There, you can set your application to run under 2.0, instead of 1.1

That mioght bring other problems, but at least you'll be running
the correct version of the .Net Framework for <connectionStrings>.

<connectionStrings> is not part of the 1.1 Framework configuration.
It's part of the 2.0 .Net Framework configuration.

That was already done. Now my Business Portal page says

administrator if this problem persists.

temporarily disable Web Parts or remove personal settings. For more

I changed connectionStrings to appSettings in my web.config, and the error
message is "Parser Error Message: It is an error to use a section registered
as allowDefinition='MachineToApplication' beyond application level. This
error can be caused by a virtual directory not being configured as an
application in IIS."

Hi, Trufaux.

You might want to review how Web Parts work under 2.0.
Some things have changed between 1.1 and 2.0.

See : http://beta.asp.net/QUICKSTART/aspnet/doc/ctrlref/webparts/default.aspx

Review the source code for each of the example controls there.

If this is too steep a change, you might want to consider
keeping the application under 1.1, and using <appSettings>
instead of <connectionStrings>

That was already done. Now my Business Portal page says
*****
This page has encountered a critical error. Contact your system
administrator if this problem persists.

Web Parts Maintenance Page: If you have permission, you can use this page to
temporarily disable Web Parts or remove personal settings. For more
