I am working through "Beginning ASP.NET 2.0" and have hit a brick wall.
When I try to run the page (76 in the book) which has text box on it, I get the error:
Their were build errors, would you like to continue and run the last successful build?
In the Error List I see:
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.
I suspect this is because I do not have IIS installed. I don't 'think' the book instructed me to install it.
Does anyone have a clue how to resolve this issue?
Go to IIS, right-click the project, select properties. On the current tab, look for the application name section, if the button to the right says create, click it, then select OK. Try again.
