Hello,
I have a business object project that I use in several mm.net web applications. I store my database keys in web.config.

<databases>
    
    <add key="ShortCuts\Connection" value="Provider=vfpoledb.1;Data Source=C:\webcom\data\ShortCuts.dbc"/>
    <add key="ShortCuts\DataAccessClass" value="DataAccessOLEDB"/>
        
  </databases>

All I do is add the business object project to the solution, add a reference to the business object project to the startup project and set a dependency to the business object project.

A sample usage of a business object class in a web form’s method code would consist of:

Assist oAssist = new Assist();
DataSet ds = oAssist.GetAllAssistants();

Then I would bind the dataset in various ways.
I recently started to dabble in Microsoft MVC and was hoping to add my business object project to my MVC solution but I do not think I have everything brought over correctly. First I added my database keys to the solutions web.config.

I additionally placed a

 <configSections>
    <section name="databaseSets" type="System.Configuration.NameValueSectionHandler,           System, Version=1.0.3300.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089"/>
    <section name="databases" type="System.Configuration.NameValueSectionHandler,           System, Version=1.0.3300.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089"/>
  </configSections>

section to web.config so that the compiler does not complain about my database keys.

................

I have a simple MVC solution running with a controller called ShortCutsController.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Mvc;
using ShortCuts.Models;
using System.Data;
using eCentric.gmg.Business;


namespace ShortCuts.Controllers
{
    public class ShortCutsController : Controller
    {
        
         
      
        // GET: /ShortCuts/
        public void Index()
        {
            Assist oAssist = new Assist();
            DataSet ds = oAssist.GetAllAssistants();
            
            Response.Write("<h2>Coming Soon - ShortCuts Index View</h2>");

                               
        }


        // GET: /ShortCuts/Details/2
        public void Details(int id) 
        {
            Response.Write("<h2>Coming Soon - ShortCuts Details View for record: " + id + " *" +  "</h2> ");
        
        }

    }
}

When I run the line of code:

 Assist oAssist = new Assist();

I get a runtime error, namely:

Server Error in '/' Application.

Version Information: Microsoft .NET Framework Version:4.0.30319; ASP.NET Version:4.0.30319.1 

How do I simulate the mm.net web form startup environment so that I may use the business object project in a Microsoft MVC solution.
