Hi, I have added the connection string to the App.config of a main executable in my wpr, prism application and I get the following error:

System.TypeInitializationException was unhandled
  Message=The type initializer for 'Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Logging.Logger' threw an exception.

My App.conf looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration>
  <connectionStrings>
    <add name="DBEntities" connectionString="metadata=res://DataAccessLayer/EntityDataModel.csdl|res://DataAccessLayer/EntityDataModel.ssdl|res://DataAccessLayer/EntityDataModel.msl;provider=System.Data.SqlServerCe.3.5;provider connection string=&quot;Data Source=|DataDirectory|\DB.sdf;Password=password;Persist Security Info=True&quot;" providerName="System.Data.EntityClient" />
  </connectionStrings>

  <configSections>

    <section name="loggingConfiguration" type="Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Logging.Configuration.LoggingSettings, Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Logging, Version=4.1.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35"/>

  </configSections>

Does anyone have any idea what is wrong? Thanks for reading.

A: 

The inner exception quite clearly points to the error. You need to change your app.config to look like this:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration>
  <configSections>
    <section name="loggingConfiguration" type="Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Logging.Configuration.LoggingSettings, Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Logging, Version=4.1.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35"/>
    <section name="exceptionHandling" type="Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.ExceptionHandling.Configuration.ExceptionHandlingSettings, Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.ExceptionHandling, Version=4.1.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35"/>
    <section name="dataConfiguration" type="Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Data.Configuration.DatabaseSettings, Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Data, Version=4.1.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35"/>
  </configSections>
  <connectionStrings>
    <add name="DBEntities" connectionString="metadata=res://DataAccessLayer/EntityDataModel.csdl|res://DataAccessLayer/EntityDataModel.ssdl|res://DataAccessLayer/EntityDataModel.msl;provider=System.Data.SqlServerCe.3.5;provider connection string=&quot;Data Source=|DataDirectory|\DB.sdf;Password=password;Persist Security Info=True&quot;" providerName="System.Data.EntityClient" />
  </connectionStrings>
