Hi,

I wish to add the following to my web.config file:

ASP.NET Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. <appSettings>
  2.     <add key="networkDrive" value="C:\test"/>
  3.   </appSettings>
But everytime I add it i get the following error:

ASP.NET Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. Sections must only appear once per config file
I looked in the file to see if it appeared more than once but couldn't find it I did a search for appSettings it returned three results, two were included in the statement I just added and the third was

ASP.NET Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. </sectionGroup></sectionGroup></sectionGroup></configSections>
  2.  
  3.   <appSettings/>

However I cant see where it was opened. If I take out the code I add the project compiles without error. Please help whole config file below!

This is what is wrong. You have two appSettings sections: an empty one (the above) and your modified one. You should keep only one of them.
If you find this answer satisfactory, please add to my reputation.

Nevermind! You still have two appConfig sections. The fact that the first one does not have child nodes does not mean that the sections are getting merged or otherwise processed by the configuration manager. Once it encounters the first section it processes it and decides that the job's finished. You offer it extra work with the second section so it complains.

hi,

Thanks and I understand that but how do i fix the problem if I add:

<add key="networkDrive" value="C:\test"/>

Before the <appSettings/> I get an error Unrecognized configuration section add. if I add

<appSettings>
<add key="networkDrive" value="C:\test"/>

I get The 'appSettings' start tag on line 20 does not match the end tag of 'configuration'. Line 106, position 123.

I just dont get it!

You should have
•
•
•
•
<appSettings><add key="networkDrive" value="C:\test"/></appSettings>
in your web.config. The line
•
•
•
•
<add key="networkDrive" value="C:\test"/>
is allowed only within appSettings section. The section appSettings should be one and only one in the whole config file.
