Answer 1

I've had the same error when using a separate entlib config file.

In Web.config, enterpriseLibrary.ConfigurationSource pointed to EntLib.config. When I used the EnterpriseLibrary.Config tool to edit EntLib.config to set up the logging database details, it put everything in EntLib.config. I got this error until I moved the connetionStrings section to Web.config.
