Question

I am trying to use the FitBit API at website development, I want to make a website from scratch but I’m unable to do so.

I’ve followed the steps described here and I have created a VB.NET Website in Visual Studio based on the ideas described here. I have downloaded the OauthNET-Release library, referenced the DLLs into my project and my web.config looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0"?>

I’ve tried to build the website, but it wasn’t successful and I received this message:

Error   11  Unrecognized configuration section oauth.net.components.

My question is: What should I do to make this work? Thank you in advance.

Have you add the section registration to webconfig’s <configSections>? Like this:

<configSections>
  <section name="oauth.net.components" type="Castle.Windsor.Configuration.AppDomain.CastleSectionHandler, Castle.Windsor"/>
  <!-- other stuff -->
</configSections>
