用户密码错误 (WCF)：在 web.config 中未正确配置用户密码

Question

I am trying to learn how to use User Secrets. In a previous post I accountered some errors while applying it on App Console. So I decided to use it on WCF project.

When I click on the project and choose User Secrets this error pops up:

User secrets are not configured correctly in the web.config file
check that a reference to UserSecretsConfigBuilder has been added to
the <configBuilder> <builder> section of web config

Here is a picture of the error:

Here is my web.config file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>

  <configSections>
    <section name="configBuilders"
      type="System.Configuration.ConfigurationBuildersSection, System.Configuration, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a"
      restartOnExternalChanges="false" requirePermission="false"/>

    <!--

Thank you very much in advance.

These 2 links explain how to add User Secrets in .NET 4.7 projects:

• https://github.com/aspnet/MicrosoftConfigurationBuilders (navigate to UserSecretsConfigBuilder)
• User Secrets in .NET 4.7 connectionstrings format

TL;DR Add the following lines to your web.config:

<configBuilders>
    <builders>
      <add name="Secrets" userSecretsFile="~/App_Data/secrets.xml" mode="Greedy" type="Microsoft.Configuration.ConfigurationBuilders.UserSecretsConfigBuilder, Microsoft.Configuration.ConfigurationBuilders.UserSecrets, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35"/>
    </builders>
</configBuilders>

By using the userSecretsFile property you define the location for your secrets file, you can also use userSecretsId with a GUID value (or something else, doesn't have to be a GUID), then the project will create the secrets file in:

C:\Users\[Username]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\UserSecrets\[YOUR GUID OR IDENTIFIER]

If you use both properties, then the userSecretsFile property will get priority. In your project you can right-click 'Manage User Secrets' to easily edit your User Secrets.
