ASP.net codedom section

Hi in my ASP.net web app my hosting provider Hostgator said they did the following. I am not sure which lines they are referring to in my web.config file shown further on

Hosrgator's comment: "Finally I commented out the system.codedom section of lines 35-40, as that section is not allowed on shared servers, due to the security implications of allowing custom compilers.  Once all of this was done the site started to load properly."

my web.config file:

thanks very much. I assume commenting this out won't disrupt the project

It depends on the type of Project and the output /publish settings you have configured.
