Usercontrol in webforms subfolder

[Lars Pedersen]

Hi.

I had a similar question here some days ago.....anyway..
When in VS.Net adding a webform in a subfolder of the project, and adding a
UserControl to this webform.
Then after setting this webform as new startpage and debugging it, I get the
Error:

Parser Error Message: It is an error to use a section registered as
allowDefinition='MachineToApplication' beyond application level. This error
can be caused by a virtual directory not being configured as an application
in IIS.

Source Error:

Line 36: "Passport" and "None"
Line 37: -->
Line 38: <authentication mode="Windows" />
Line 39:
Line 40: <!-- APPLICATION-LEVEL TRACE LOGGING



If I set the new subfolder as a Virtual Directory in IIS, there's another
error:
"Could not loade type 'Namespace.folder.class'"

Does anyone know what is wrong here, because the webforms in the root of the
project folder seems to run perfectly??

Does your web.config perhaps contain one or more <location> tags? There are some tags which may only be declared on the root level of your application.

This is a flaw in the documentation. The <authentication> tag, for example, may not be used within a <location> branch of the web.config file.

I left the web.config untouched, and there are no location tags.
