Hi all,

I am in need of some help with an error message I get with Microsoft Visual Web Developer 2010 Express.

I would like to create a gallery for my site so I downloaded the NotesForGallery from codeplex. I have added the reference into the project like it told me to in the installation instructions. The instructions then say

Register the ThumbnailHandler in the Web.Config file (httpHandlers section):

<httpHandlers>
…
<add verb="*" path="ThumbnailHandler.ashx" type="NotesFor.ThumbnailHandler, NotesForGallery"/>
…
</httpHandlers> 

So I open the web.config file in my solution and I add it in. When I try and start the website (clicking the play button in Web Developer) I get the error message:

Unrecognized configuration section httpHandlers.

The complete list of errors I get are:

Message 1 Could not find schema information for the element 'httpHandlers'. C:\Documents and Settings\adam\My Documents\Visual Studio 2010\WebSites\FatBoyFudge\Web.config 38 4 C:...\FatBoyFudge\ Message 2 Could not find schema information for the element 'add'.

Warning 7 C:\Documents and Settings\adam\My Documents\Visual Studio 2010\WebSites\FatBoyFudge\Gallery.aspx: ASP.NET runtime error: Unrecognized configuration section httpHandlers.

The project I created was a website if that helps any.

The complete web.config is as follows:

<configuration>
    <connectionStrings>
        <add name="ApplicationServices" connectionString="data source=.\SQLEXPRESS;Integrated Security=SSPI;AttachDBFilename=|DataDirectory|\aspnetdb.mdf;User Instance=true" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/>
    </connectionStrings>
    <system.web>
        <compilation debug="true" targetFramework="4.0"/>
        <authentication mode="Forms">
            <forms loginUrl="~/Account/Login.aspx" timeout="2880"/>
        </authentication>
        <membership>
            <providers>
                <clear/>

            </providers>
        </membership>

            <providers>
                <clear/>
                <add name="AspNetSqlProfileProvider" type="System.Web.Profile.SqlProfileProvider" connectionStringName="ApplicationServices" applicationName="/"/>
            </providers>
        </profile>
        <roleManager enabled="false">
            <providers>
                <clear/>
                <add name="AspNetSqlRoleProvider" type="System.Web.Security.SqlRoleProvider" connectionStringName="ApplicationServices" applicationName="/"/>
                <add name="AspNetWindowsTokenRoleProvider" type="System.Web.Security.WindowsTokenRoleProvider" applicationName="/"/>
            </providers>
        </roleManager>
    </system.web>
    <system.webServer>
        <modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true"/>
    </system.webServer>
  <httpHandlers>
      <add verb="*" path="ThumbnailHandler.ashx" type="NotesFor.ThumbnailHandler, NotesForGallery"/>
  </httpHandlers>
</configuration>

Any help you could give me would be handy because I'm not sure what I am doing wrong
