Hi Narotham,

Based on my understanding, there might be some errors in the configuration file. You can check the configuration block to see if thereare some errors. You can also remove the configuration block and use the Enterprise Tool to add the configuration block again.

To have the designer shown correctly without caring whether the code about the configuration is correct or not, we can check the DesignMode property and run the code only in non design mode. This is a code snippet:

        private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            if (!DesignMode)
            {
                //Do something with the configuration here, it would not affect the designer.
            }
        }

Please let me know if this does not help.

Hi All,

I'm getting this weird error while i'm trying to load the designer for my main form which says the cachingConfiguration section is missing in provided configuration file even though my main app.config contains the caching block section in it. I'm unable to find any results on this particluar error. The configuration block is called in a Singleton class which is invoked in the Form Load event. There is only one configuration file for the entire solution. Has anybody encountered this error. Please help.
