A long time ago I wrote a little FTP utility for a client, and it has been working just fine for over a year. The other day, they tell me that they "updated" their machines (including the server where this was installed). Suddenly, my tiny little desktop app started erroring out. Here is the error message: The configuration section 'connectionStrings' has an unexpected declaration Which is interesting because my app doesn't even HAVE a connectionStrings entry in the config file. I do use a 3rd party dll, but from the stacktrace, it appears that it is blowing up when trying to access a property that I made in my own Settings.settings file -- the property is called FTPserver, and not anything to do with my 3rd party dll, PowerTCP. Anyone have any ideas where I can start diagnosing the real issue? EDIT (added a screenshot, then removed it because it didn't help anything) ![alt text][1] EDIT2: Damn Image Shack. Here it is typed out: <pre><code>System.Configuration.ConfigurationErrorsException: The configuration section 'connectionStrings' has an unexpected declaration. at System.Configuration.ConfigurationManger.get_ConnectionStrings() at System.Configuration.PrivilegedConfigurationManager.get_ConnectionStrings() at System.Configuration.LocatFileSettingsProvider.GetPropertyValues(SettingsContext contect, SettingsPropertyCollection properties) at System.Configuration.SettingsBase.GetPropertiesFromProvider(SettingsProvider provider) at System.Configuration.SettingsBase.GetPropertyValueByName(String propertyName) at System.Configuration.SettingsBase.get_Item(String propertyName) at System.Configuration.ApplicationSettingsBase.GetPropertyValue(String propertyName) at System.Configuration.ApplicationSettingsBase.get_Item(String propertyName) at FTPAndArchive.Properties.Settings.get_FTPserver() in <a path to my local machine...which it isn't even running on?>.Settings.Designer.cs: line 43 at FTPAndArchive.FtpAndArchive..ctor() in <my path again>FtpAndAchive.cs: line 25 at FTPAndArchive.Program.Main() in <again>.Program.cs: line 21 </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
