Solution 1

Unrecognized configuration section appsettings

Looks like you have put the appsettings section out of the configuration. Put it in the configSections.
VS intellisense will help you in identifying if it is allowed there or not. It's just a misplaced config error. Place AppSettings at correct location in the config file.

Intellisense is a good point, my 5, there is a full reference (see).

You need to give correct casing. It is appSettings.

The element's name is different: "appSettings", see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms228154.aspx[^]. The whole syntax is described here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/zeshe0eb.aspx[^]. How this could be a problem?
