Configuration Section

I watched the video about how to add the ajax functionality to an existing web application which was previously not Ajax aware.

I added the following to the following to the <configuration> area:

<configSections>

<sectionGroupname="system.web.extensions"type="System.Web.Configuration.SystemWebExtensionsSectionGroup, System.Web.Extensions, Version=1.0.61025.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35">

<sectionGroupname="scripting"type="System.Web.Configuration.ScriptingSectionGroup, System.Web.Extensions, Version=1.0.61025.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35">

<sectionname="scriptResourceHandler"type="System.Web.Configuration.ScriptingScriptResourceHandlerSection, System.Web.Extensions, Version=1.0.61025.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35"requirePermission="false"allowDefinition="MachineToApplication"/>

<sectionGroupname="webServices"type="System.Web.Configuration.ScriptingWebServicesSectionGroup, System.Web.Extensions, Version=1.0.61025.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35">

<sectionname="jsonSerialization"type="System.Web.Configuration.ScriptingJsonSerializationSection, System.Web.Extensions, Version=1.0.61025.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35"requirePermission="false"allowDefinition="Everywhere"/>

<sectionname="profileService"type="System.Web.Configuration.ScriptingProfileServiceSection, System.Web.Extensions, Version=1.0.61025.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35"requirePermission="false"allowDefinition="MachineToApplication"/>

<sectionname="authenticationService"type="System.Web.Configuration.ScriptingAuthenticationServiceSection, System.Web.Extensions, Version=1.0.61025.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35"requirePermission="false"allowDefinition="MachineToApplication"/>

</sectionGroup>

</sectionGroup>

</sectionGroup>

</configSections>

My problem is that I also have an <appSettings> section, which I placed the above after the </appSettings>. When I attempt to compile, I get an error which states the following: "ASP.NET runtime error: Only one <configSections> element allowed per config file and if present must be the first child of the root <configuration> element. "

How do I correct this error?

Hello,

Maybe if you put the <AppSettings> after the <ConfigSections> ?

"<configSections> if present must be the first child of the root <configuration> element."
