asp.net 2.0 conversion issue with web.config compilers section

[Guest]

I have upgraded an asp.net 1.1 application to asp.net 2.0 using the upgrade
wizard in VS2005. The web.config file which worked correctly in 1.1 now has
an error that will not allow the application to compile. The error is:

The element 'compilation' has invalid child element 'compilers'. List of
possible elements expected: 'assemblies, buildProviders, codeSubDirectories,
expressionBuilders'.

Here is the section of the web.config file with the error:

<compilation defaultLanguage="vb" debug="false">
<compilers>
<compiler language="vb" type="Microsoft.VisualBasic.VBCodeProvider, System,
Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=... etc. />
</compilers>

Does anyone know what to do here? If compilers is no longer a valid child
element of compilation, what should I change this to?

Grant,

Sorry your conversion did not work.
The compiler element is deprecated in favor of compiler in system.codedom

I don't have a compiler element in my web.config and it works fine!
Consider signing your assembly using the keypair property in the application
property msbuild page.

Good Luck
