hi i wonder if anyone can help i`m on chapter 2 of the book and just created the master page (site.master) when i go to design view the wrox logo in the top left corner will not display the rest of the page looks ok.

also when i try to run the site in my browser i get this error message

Error 1 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. C:\begASPNET2\chapters\chapter_2\Begin\Chapter02\W eb.config 26

if anyone can help that would be great thanks

Hi there,

Sounds like you opened the application one directory too high.

Did you open the last Chapter02 folder as the application root? That is, did you browse to that folder when you chose "Open website" in VWD or did you open Begin?

i opened the begin folder if thats any help ;)

this path

file:///C:/begASPNET2/chapters/chapter_2/Begin/

In that case, open the Chapter02 folder and your problem should go away. Then Chapter02 is the root, so it is allowed to have its own web.config with specific settings.

This may also cure the image problem if, for example, the image links to ~/Images/SomeImage.jpg.

When you open the Begin folder, the Images folder is supposed to be at Begin/Images while most likely it's under Chapter02/Images.

HtH,
