I'm using Subsonic 2.2 Subcommander(Sonic.exe) to generate my DAL in a standalone class library with its own app.config.

I'm then referencing this dll assembly in my ASP.NET MVC webapp, and it compiles fine. When I try hitting a page I get "unrecognized configuration section"

Here's a screenshot of the error: http://i41.tinypic.com/2h5l0zk.jpg

Any clues/help much appreciated!

Here is my web.config:

Put the SubsonicService section out of the Sectiongroup should do the trick:

<configuration>
  <configSections>
    <sectionGroup name="...">
    </sectionGroup>
    <section name="SubSonicService"
          type="SubSonic.SubSonicSection, SubSonic"
          allowDefinition="MachineToApplication"
          restartOnExternalChanges="true"
          requirePermission="false"/>
  </configSections>

You haven't defined SubSonicService as a config section so it is not being recognized. You need to do this in the configSections as follows:

<configSections>
    <sectionGroup name="system.web.extensions" type="System.Web.Configuration.SystemWebExtensionsSectionGroup, System.Web.Extensions, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35">
        <sectionGroup name="scripting" type="System.Web.Configuration.ScriptingSectionGroup, System.Web.Extensions, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35">
            <section name="scriptResourceHandler" type="System.Web.Configuration.ScriptingScriptResourceHandlerSection, System.Web.Extensions, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" requirePermission="false" allowDefinition="MachineToApplication"/>
            <sectionGroup name="webServices" type="System.Web.Configuration.ScriptingWebServicesSectionGroup, System.Web.Extensions, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35">
                <section name="jsonSerialization" type="System.Web.Configuration.ScriptingJsonSerializationSection, System.Web.Extensions, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" requirePermission="false" allowDefinition="Everywhere"/>
                <section name="profileService" type="System.Web.Configuration.ScriptingProfileServiceSection, System.Web.Extensions, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" requirePermission="false" allowDefinition="MachineToApplication"/>
                <section name="authenticationService" type="System.Web.Configuration.ScriptingAuthenticationServiceSection, System.Web.Extensions, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" requirePermission="false" allowDefinition="MachineToApplication"/>
                <section name="roleService" type="System.Web.Configuration.ScriptingRoleServiceSection, System.Web.Extensions, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" requirePermission="false" allowDefinition="MachineToApplication"/>
                <section name="SubSonicService" type="SubSonic.SubSonicSection, SubSonic" requirePermission="false" />
            </sectionGroup>
        </sectionGroup>
    </sectionGroup>
    <!-- ******** SubSonicService section added here  ********* -->
    <section name="SubSonicService" type="SubSonic.SubSonicSection, SubSonic" requirePermission="false" />
</configSections>

the problem rise because, the first element of configuration section must be the configSections, you can put the section: section name="SubSonicService" ... inside the configSections tags but outside sectionGroup tag. if you have a doubt please write to me: [email protected]
