I have a windows forms application written in VS2010 with C# and get the following errors in the app.config
file:
Message 4 Could not find schema information for the attribute 'name'
Message 8 Could not find schema information for the attribute 'name'
Message 12 Could not find schema information for the attribute 'name'
Message 5 Could not find schema information for the attribute 'serializeAs'
Message 15 Could not find schema information for the element 'CCP_Utility.Settings1'
Message 2 Could not find schema information for the element 'CCP_Utility.Properties.Settings'
Message 3 Could not find schema information for the element 'setting'
Message 1 Could not find schema information for the element 'userSettings'
Message 6 Could not find schema information for the element 'value'
What do I have to change in the code to fix this issue? Where can I edit what's in CCP_Utility.Settings1
and CCP_Utility.Properties.Settings
?
Here's the app.config
code:
<configuration>
<configSections>
<sectionGroup name="userSettings" type="System.Configuration.UserSettingsGroup, System, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" >
<section name="CCP_Utility.Properties.Settings" type="System.Configuration.ClientSettingsSection, System, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" allowExeDefinition="MachineToLocalUser" requirePermission="false" />
<section name="CCP_Utility.Settings1" type="System.Configuration.ClientSettingsSection, System, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" allowExeDefinition="MachineToLocalUser" requirePermission="false" />
</sectionGroup>
</configSections>
<userSettings>
<CCP_Utility.Properties.Settings>
<setting name="SourceDir" serializeAs="String">
<value />
</setting>
<setting name="TargetDir" serializeAs="String">
<value />
</setting>
<setting name="CorpID" serializeAs="String">
<value />
</setting>
</CCP_Utility.Properties.Settings>
<CCP_Utility.Settings1>
<setting name="sourceDir" serializeAs="String">
<value />
</setting>
<setting name="targetDir" serializeAs="String">
<value />
</setting>
</CCP_Utility.Settings1>
</userSettings>
</configuration>

I had this in VS 2012 where the "Section name" had been changed in a project, and I fixed it by deleting "app.config" in the project, then right-clicking on the project in the "Solution Explorer", selecting "Properties", then "Settings", then making a change to one of the settings, saving, and re-building. This created a new app.config with the correct information.
When this happened to me (out of nowhere) I was about to dive into the top answer above, and then I figured I'd close the project, close Visual Studio, and then re-open everything. Problem solved. VS bug?
I found that there was a syntax error in the related module and it wasn't compiling - the compiler didn't tell me that though. Just gave me the error regarding the app.config stuff. VS2010. Once I had fixed the syntax error, all was good.
In my case I had an ambiguous reference in my code. I restarted Visual Studio and was able to see the error message. When I resolved this the other error disappeared.
This error occurs when your project references out of date schemas. Use Visual Studio to generate new ones.
In Visual Studio, do the following:
app.config
or web.config
file.XML
menu and select Create Schema
. This will trigger
app#.xsd
(Windows app) orweb#.xsd
(Website) file(s) to generate.
App.config
or web.config
file, right-click in the text-editor and select properties and click the ...
button next to the value for Schemas. Add
button.OK
The Could not find schema information for the attribute/element error(s) should now be resolved.
An XSD is included with EntLib 5, and is installed in the Visual Studio schema directory. In my case, it could be found at:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Xml\Schemas\EnterpriseLibrary.Configuration.xsd
It is worth repeating that these "Error List" "Messages" ("Could not find schema information for the element") are only visible when you open the app.config file. If you "Close All Documents" and compile... no messages will be reported.
Quickest, easiest laziest way to solve the problem:
Simple: In Visual Studio Report designer
1. Open the report in design mode and delete the dataset from the RDLC File
2. Open solution Explorer and delete the actual (corrupted) XSD file
3. Add the dataset back to the RDLC file.
4. The above procedure will create the new XSD file.
5. More detailed is below.
In Visual Studio, Open your RDLC file Report in Design mode. Click on the report and then Select View and then Report Data from the top line menu. Select Datasets and then Right Click and delete the dataset from the report. Next Open Solution Explorer, if it is not already open in your Visual Studio. Locate the XSD file (It should be the same name as the dataset you just deleted from the report). Now go back and right click again on the report data Datasets, and select Add Dataset . This will create a new XSD file and write the dataset properties to the report. Now your error message will be gone and any missing data will now appear in your reports.
Most of what I write has already been covered by Pressacco, but this is specific to SpecFlow.
I was getting this message for the <specFlow>
element and therefore I added a specflow.xsd
file to the solution this answer (with some modifications to allow for the <plugins>
element).
Thereafter I (like Pressacco), right clicked within the file buffer of app.config
and selected properties, and within Schemas
, I added "specflow.xsd"
to the end. The entirety of Schemas
now reads:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\xml\Schemas\1033\DotNetConfig.xsd" "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\xml\Schemas\EntityFrameworkConfig_6_1_0.xsd" "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\xml\Schemas\RazorCustomSchema.xsd" "specflow.xsd"
