Hi,
I'm getting error in web.config file, stating as

"Unrecognized configuration section pages."

in the below code:-

XML

<pages controlRenderingCompatibilityVersion="3.5" clientIDMode="AutoID">
  <controls>
    <!-- Register the BotDetect tag prefix for easier use in all pages -->
    <add assembly="BotDetect" namespace="BotDetect.Web.UI" tagPrefix="BotDetect"/>
    <add tagPrefix="asp" namespace="System.Web.UI.DataVisualization.Charting" assembly="System.Web.DataVisualization, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35"/>
  </controls>
</pages>

Does anyone know the reason behind it

Thanks

What I have tried:

1) Change the

controlRenderingCompatibilityVersion

value from 3.5 to 4.0
2) Remove the whole tag
3) Remove the

XML

<controls>

inside part i.e

XML

<add assembly="BotDetect" namespace="BotDetect.Web.UI" tagPrefix="BotDetect"/>
      <add tagPrefix="asp" namespace="System.Web.UI.DataVisualization.Charting" assembly="System.Web.DataVisualization, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35"/>

Refer - pages Element (ASP.NET Settings Schema)[^].

Pages should go inside...

XML

<system.web>

Pages are already in <system.web>
Here is system.web node:

<system.web>
<compilation debug="true" targetframework="4.0">
<assemblies>
<add assembly="System.Design, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=B03F5F7F11D50A3A">

<add verb="GET" path="BotDetectCaptcha.ashx" type="BotDetect.Web.CaptchaHandler, BotDetect">

Then something else is not in the required place. Check that out. You can directly search for those tags in Google and learn about the placement.
