    Another web.config question

    In web.config, it's possible to specify a new section like so:

    Code:
    		 <section name="pluto"  type="System.Configuration.NameValueFileSectionHandler, System, Version=1.0.3300.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089"/>
    My question is: are the 'version', 'culture', 'publickeytoken' attributes necessary? What is the smallest tag I can write to define a new section?

    All you need is just the tag on its own without any properties.

    I tried that, and it asks me to specify the type attribute.

    Parser Error Message: The 'type' attribute must be specified on the 'section' tag.

    Then I removed the elements one by one, and ended up with this as the minimum.

    Code:
    type="System.Configuration.NameValueFileSectionHandler"

    Thing is, I don't understand it at all. Maybe I need a book? What says you?

    Okay actually mine won't let me add items to web.config that it isn't expecting.
    Try using a seperate xml file?
