Web.config schema messages

[Guest]

Hi,

I currently have several sections pointing to various custom providers
inside my Web.conf file.

I get multiple messages about not being able to find schema information.
("Could not find schema information for the element
'http://schemas.microsoft.com/.NetConfiguration/v2.0:configSections'")

Currently my configuration tag is as follow:
"<configuration xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/.NetConfiguration/v2.0">"

The site works fine despite the messages but It'd feel better without them!

Does someone have a fix?

Thanks.

Rachel,

I haven't tried this myself, but this is supposed to be the fix:

Remove the xmlns attribute entirely. This is added erroneously by the
ASP.NET Administration tool.

Hmmm,

I should have realized what this really was (I reported it as a bug back in
November), thanks Erik.

Here's the fix Microsoft attached to my bug report to keep it from ever
happening again:

with

config.NamespaceDeclared = false;

Unfortunately this is not a fix because I started out without the “xmlns†bit
but VS complained about my CUSTOM (provider) sections requesting a schema.


I read somewhere the actual fix is to include schema information about the
new sections in the “C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio
8\Xml\Schemas\DotNetConfig.xsd†file but how do I do that? Is there a way to
automatically generate new schema info based on existing “web.config�


Thanks in advance.

No. You should not have any complaint about a custom provider without the
xmlns.

I read somewhere the actual fix is to include schema information about the
new sections in the ´C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio
8\Xml\Schemas\DotNetConfig.xsd¡ file but how do I do that? Is there a way to

No, this is simply not true. The xmlns was used in betas, and mistakenly
was never removed from the administration site code. It simply should not
be there at all.
