Error when debugging in chapter 3

diango · December 14th, 2005, 06:39 PM

I get an error when pressing F5 after the initial try it out! I get the following error:

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.

The erro comes from the File Web.Config

Anyone else get this problem?

I had the problem too. The solution (I believe) was in how you open the web page in Visual Studio. Ih has to be opened as a web page and not a Project/Solution. When I did this, the issue went away.

Ok, I managed to fix the problem. There is an error in the book, the folder that is suppose to be open is chapter03\samples. Once I did this, it fixed the problem.

Yes, we've got that particular error listed in the errata now, here:
