Re: Why encryption failed?

System.Net is not a section but a SectionGroup -

you can only encrypt sections (the stuff that's under system.net)

hi,

i'm trying to encrypt a present section in web.config named
"system.net" using following command line:

aspnet_regiis.exe -pef "system.net" C:\site

i get failed everytime i execute it, getting a error"The configuration
section 'system.net' was not found". i'm almost crazy, this section is
there.

And if i excute:

aspnet_regiis.exe -pef "connectionStrings" C:\site

i succeed. but what's difference?

thanks
