Hi

I am trying to setup up Combres in a asp.net mvc 2.0 .net 4 application. I however keep getting the same error and I am not sure why. I am following the 2.0 tutorial on codeplex.

System.TypeInitializationException was unhandled by user code
  Message=The type initializer for 'Combres.Configuration' threw an exception.

Check the public key token of combres.dll using .NET Reflector - the current 2.1 release does not match that used in the sample code on Code Project. My configuration file reads:

    <section name="combres" type="Combres.ConfigSectionSetting, Combres, Version=2.1.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=1ca6b37997dd7536"/>
    <section name="log4net" type="log4net.Config.Log4NetConfigurationSectionHandler, Combres, Version=2.1.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=1ca6b37997dd7536"/>

I think it will be to do with a log4net dll conflict. Combres uses one version and I am guessing your project uses another. I am having the same problem with minimal success in fixing it.
