It is my intent to utilize the Enterprise Library Application Blocks.
I am new to dotNet. I have downloaded the 'Enterprise Library -
January 2006' version. The solution built successfully and I can
execute the 'Hands on Labs' for logging. To transition to my code
base, I did the following:
created a C# console application,
added the project references
(Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Common.dll
Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Logging.dll
Microsoft.Practices.ObjectBuilder.dll),
created the app.config file with the 'Enterprise Libray Configuration'
utility (contents below),
saved and closed both solution and configuration files.

When I execute the solution within Visual Studio 2005, I receive the
following error:

The configuration section for Logging
cannot be found in the configuration source.

A section with the name of "loggingConfiguration" definitely exists.
It is like it does not see my app.config file.



- app.config contents -
<configuration>

- MyLoggingBTest.cs contents -
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Common.Configuration;
using Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Logging;

namespace MyLoggingBTest
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
LogEntry log = new LogEntry();
log.Message = string.Format("Logging has been successfully
added to the application ");
Logger.Write(log);

}
}
}

Would anyone be willing to steer me in the right direction?

Thanks

Was the app.config file added to your project?

Was the app.config file copied to output directory with name
MyLoggingBTest.exe.config ? (assuming your exe was generated with that name)

Was the Enterprise Library 2.0 assemblies copied to the output directory?
