  Hi,

  I'm doing a code of sending email to a reciepnt, i did the behind cod and the SMTP configuraiton but it when adding the statement to the web.config page it gives me an Error. 

  "Error    2    Only one <configSections> element allowed per config file and if present must be the first child of the root <configuration> element.    C:\Documents and Settings\User\My Documents\Visual Studio 2008\WebSites\WebSite2\web.config    21 "

  I'm adding the following code inside the <configuration block as mentoined in another topic in the forum>
  

  <system.net>
    <mailSettings>
      <smtp from="username@DomainName">
        <network host="SMTPServerName" port="25" userName="username" password="secret" defaultCredentials="true" />
      </smtp>
    </mailSettings>
    </system.net>

  
  

  any advice?
  

  "Asp.net 2.0"

  Seems like you just put your <system.net> section in the wrong spot.  For safety just place your <system.net> stuff just above the closing </configuration> tag

  Hi,

  check in IIS, whether you application is running under asp.net 2.0. if not, set it to 2.0

  Hi,

  Please copy the whole content of your web.config file. 

  
  

  the content of web.config :

  
  

  <?xml version="1.0"?>
  
  
  
  <configuration>
    <system.net>
    <mailSettings>
      <smtp from="username@DomainName">
        <network host="SMTPServerName" port="25" userName="username" password="secret" defaultCredentials="true" />
      </smtp>
    </mailSettings>
    </system.net>
    <configSections>
      
      </configuration>
