Error using configSource attribute.

[Abhi]

I am using Cryptography application block and am trying to use
configSource attribute to keep the config file as separate file.

my Application configuration file has following entry


App.config

<configuration>

<configSections>

<section name="dataConfiguration"
type="Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Data.Configuration.DatabaseSettings,
Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Data, Version=2.0.0.0,
Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null" />

<section name="securityCryptographyConfiguration"
type="Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Security.Cryptography.Configuration.CryptographySettings,
Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Security.Cryptography,
Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null" />

</configSections>

<connectionStrings configSource="data.config" />

<securityCryptographyConfiguration>

<symmetricCryptoProviders configSource="crypto.config"/>

</securityCryptographyConfiguration>

</configuration>

and external cryotography configuration file is.

crypto.config


<configuration>


<symmetricCryptoProviders>

<add name="RijndaelManaged"
algorithmType="System.Security.Cryptography.RijndaelManaged, mscorlib,
Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089"

protectedKeyFilename="E:\Configuration\Configuration\bin\Debug\KeyFile.key"


protectedKeyProtectionScope="LocalMachine"
type="Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Security.Cryptography.SymmetricAlgorithmProvider,
Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Security.Cryptography,
Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null"

/>

</symmetricCryptoProviders>


</configuration>



in code i am calling it as


textBox2.Text = Cryptographer.EncryptSymmetric("RijndaelManaged",
textBox1.Text);



on running this i get error as.
{"Unrecognized attribute 'configSource'. Note that attribute names are
case-sensitive.
(E:\\Configuration\\Configuration\\bin\\Debug\\Configuration.vshost.exe.config
line 10)"}

Although similer setting is working with database application block.

Thanks
Abhi.

It loooks to me like you are using the vshost.exe.config file instead of the
application's config file which would be <applicationName>.exe.config
