Trying to finish the excersise on page 309 'Sending E-mail Messages'. While configuring web.config in VWD I get a squiggly line under the <system.net> element. Then when I request the email demo page I get this message in the browser.

Server Error in '/' Application.

Hi there,

The system.net element shouldn't be inside configSections, but outside it, at the same level as system.web.

Cheers,
