I get this error when compiling ManageDepartments.aspx. Any ideas on what could be causing this? Thanks for the help!

Code:

Line 48:         Protected Shared ReadOnly Property Settings() As StoreElement
Line 49:             Get
Line 50:                 Return Globals.Settings.Store
Line 51:             End Get
Line 52:         End Property
 

Source File: D:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\WebSites\book\App_Code\BLL\Store\BaseStore.vb    Line: 50 

Stack Trace:

You need to define a StoreElement class in your ConfigSections.cs file.

I have already defined the StoreElement class in the ConfigSections file. Just like the book example shows it contains the following ConfigurationProperties:
(connectionStringName, connectionString, ProviderType, RatingLockInterval, PageSize, rssItems, DefaultOrderListInverval, SandboxMode, BusinessEmail, CurrencyCode, LowAvailability, EnableCaching, CacheDuration)
