I know that your issue has already been solved, but for other people getting this error message, it seems that only certain sections of the web. Config can be encrypted. I was trying to encrypt the SMTP settings in my web config.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
