I downloaded the solutions for the Time Tracker project, but get the following error when I try to run the project:

An error occurred creating the configuration section handler for
applicationSettings/Time_Tracker.Settings: The given assembly name or
codebase was invalid. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131047)
(C:\Wrox Book\Time Tracker\bin\Debug\Time Tracker.vshost.exe.config line 8)

Help!!!

Thanks,

Margaret

Margaret,

What chapter did you run the code from and was it for SQL Server or Oracle. Also, what version of Visual Studio are you using and what operating system are you using?

Hi Thearon,

I am running the solution form Chapter 6 at the moment which is MS Access. It looks like a permissions error with the config file as the line of code that bombs is:

return CType(me("Provider"),String)

I am funning VS 2005 under Windows XP.

A first chance exception of type 'System.Configuration.ConfigurationErrorsException ' occurred in System.Configuration.dll

Thanks for your help,

Margaret

Margaret,

Does your Windows login have admin permissions on the machine that you are writting this code on? It sounds like perhaps you do not have the appropriate authority on this machine.
