After adding +the configuration pieces, it still was not finding the class as I expected. + I traced the error back to the DbProviderFactoriesConfigurationHandler class. + +What happened in this scenario, is that I migrated a web.config from a web +project started in vs.net 2005 (perhaps a beta version). In this +web.config, the default file includes a namespace specifier on the root +node, such as: + +<configuration xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/.NetConfiguration/v2.0";> + +Now, the problem was that the ConfigurationHandler indicated above just +performed a xmlNode.SelectSingleNodes(".//DbProviderFactories") which is +not namespace aware, so was skipping this configuration item altogether. + +I was able to remove the namespace specification from the root node of +web.config, and the content was picked up as expected. This issue probably +affects other areas of reading config files as well. + +Steps to reproduce the problem: +1. Modify web.config to include namespace on root node +2. Settings such as system.data are not loaded, as it can not properly +resolve child nodes when namespace is provided. + +Actual Results: +Settings are not read + +Expected Results: +Content is read in properly + +How often does this happen? +always + +Additional Information: + +It seems people can easily work around this by removing the namespace +specification in the root xml node. Just not sure this is captured +anywhere so people know how to avoid this issue until fixed. + + +Thanks, +Mike _______________________________________________ mono-bugs maillist - [email protected] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-bugs
