Here is what my web.config looks like:

<connectionStrings>
<add name="DB_7ae840" connectionString="Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=DB_7ae840.mdf"></add>

<system.codedom>
<compilers>
<compiler language="c#;cs;csharp" extension=".cs" type="Microsoft.CSharp.CSharpCodeProvider,System, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089"></compiler>

<providerOption name="CompilerVersion" value="v3.5"/>
<providerOption name="OptionInfer" value="true"/>
</compilers>
</system.codedom>
</connectionStrings>

Can someone help me?
