Configuration system failed to initialize

Jason · Jul 21, 2008

Hi all,

I have set up ODBC connection through data source configuration wizard and I
can run my application normally. But without any changes of my application &
ODBC connection, the error is occurred when running my application now.
Please help.

Error messges : Configuration system failed to initialize
code file : Settings.Designer.vb
Error statement : Return CType(Me("ConnectionString"),String)

Best regards,
Jason

Hello Jason,

As Johan [MSFT] said in this forum thread, It sounds like the .config file
is broken at some level (most likely local user or roaming user). To locate
the files, you can add the following to the constructor of your settings
class (or in the settings property get:er that you modified to always return
false).

Regards,
