DataCacheClient name attribute not recognized in web.config

Question

HELP!!!  I am trying to configure Windows Azure Cache (preview) in my web application.  I think I'm close but I can't get passed this web.config error when I run it in Windows Azure compute emulator.  The project builds fine and then opens to the main page with this error:

Unrecognized attribute 'deployment'. Note that attribute names are case-sensitive.

I copied the configuration settings from my windows azure cache configuration.  Also, the configuration used to say <dataCacheClient name="default">.  I get the same error when I use this setting also.

Here is part of the web config file: 

<

configSections>

<!--

<

section name="dataCacheClient" type="Microsoft.ApplicationServer.Caching.DataCacheClientSection, Microsoft.ApplicationServer.Caching.Core, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=" allowLocation="true" allowDefinition="Everywhere" />*****end copy from windows azure cache-->

<

</

sectionGroup>

<

section name="dataCacheClients" type="Microsoft.ApplicationServer.Caching.DataCacheClientsSection, Microsoft.ApplicationServer.Caching.Core" allowLocation="true" allowDefinition="Everywhere" />

</

Answer 2

You've provided the ACS token which will be security breach(other people can use it now without your knowledge). Please delete  and recreate your cache with different name immediately to get a new ACS token.

Answer 3

The problem seems related to the issue where you still might be somehow referencing the older version of Windows Server App fabric Assemblies which does not contain a definition for this "deployment" attribute. Please uninstall any older version. Also check the GAC if it contains the older version of the assemblies.

The issue was also discussed in the thread below -

Answer 4

Thanks all for the replies - Karthik, yes I realized I posted the security key in my post - I'm new to this forum and wasn't sure how to retract.  I am re-creating my cache to generate the new key.  Thank you.

I figured out my problem.  Gaurav, it was as you suggested.  I ended up installing the newer versions of the SDK and app fabric over the existing and after that did not work - I had to un-install the November 2011 Windows Azure SDK and the Windows AppFabric 1.0 versions.  I then re-installed only the latest SDKs - Windows Azure SDK 1.7 and Windows AppFabric 1.5.  Also, I had to remove all of the Cache references from my project and then re-install the Cache libraries using Nuget PM.

Thank you again!
