Web Config Error in ASP.NET

I have a web form that is hosted on my own PC's localost (IIS-Express).I am working with .NET 4.6.

In my web.config I have 

<sectionGroup>
    <section>
      <applicationSettings>
        <UI.Properties.Settings>
          <setting name=" UI_Portal" serializeAs="String">
            <value>http://localhost/Service/EppPortal.asmx</value>
          </setting>
          <setting name="UI_Portal" serializeAs="String">
            <value>http://localhost/Service/Portal.asmx</value>
          </setting>
        </UI.Properties.Settings>
      </applicationSettings>
      </section>
</sectionGroup>

And I get the error:

The configuration section 'sectionGroup' cannot be read because it is missing a section declaration

**

Config Source:
  305: 
  306:   <sectionGroup>
  307:

**

I can't find a way to resolve it. Please help. Thanks.

Yes there the error you are, you are missing the <configSections> element alltogether. It should be like below. See sectionGroup Element for more information

<configSections>
<sectionGroup>
    <section>
      <applicationSettings>
        <UI.Properties.Settings>
          <setting name=" UI_Portal" serializeAs="String">
            <value>http://localhost/Service/EppPortal.asmx</value>
          </setting>
          <setting name="UI_Portal" serializeAs="String">
            <value>http://localhost/Service/Portal.asmx</value>
          </setting>
        </UI.Properties.Settings>
      </applicationSettings>
      </section>
</sectionGroup>
</configSections>
