Web.config explosion attempting custom section.

ARGH! Any ideas why this might be happening? The code I'm using comes
straight from the example in the VB.NET Help System. All I did was tweak the
name= stuff to match my application.

Server Error in '/ImageMaker' Application.

Version Information: Microsoft .NET Framework Version:1.1.4322.573; ASP.NET
Version:1.1.4322.573I had the same issue. Fixed it by using fully qualified name for type, like
this:

<section name="..." type="System.Configuration.NameValueFileSectionHandler,
System, Version=1.0.5000.0, Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" /
You can copy a working type from machine.config (the one above is from 1.1
framework, I would think 1.0 has a different version and/or public key
token).
