Connection "has already been added"

[GavW]

Hey all!

I have just run into this problem. My website has just decided to return the error "The entry 'Connection' has already been added.

My connection string is located within my Web.Config file:

<add name="Connection" connectionString="Data Source=source;Initial Catalog=database;User ID=user;Password=pwd"
providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />

As far as I am aware i have not changed anything that could of triggered this error message. I dont understand it though as I need that code in there to perform all of my database functions. Anybody know why this error occurs?

It's probably either a reserved name or it's already been added as part of a previous site or intstallation. Try either renaming ti to something else rather than Connection, or add a "<clear/>" tag before it.
