Hi there,
Are there web.config file in any of the parent folders you are opening?
Or maybe you opened BegECom in Visual Studio and have Chapter02 as a sub folder in the Solution Explorer? If that's the case, try opening the Chapter02 folder as a site directly.
-------------------------------------
"web.config" question: I have a folder "C:\MyDir\ASP_NET\Chapter03\WroxUnited". There are web.config files in both the "Chapter03" and the "WroxUnited" folder (see below). The web site I open is "C:\MyDir\ASP_NET\Chapter03\WroxUnited". Should there only be a web.config file in the "Chapter03" folder and not in the contained "WroxUnited" folder?
The web site I opened was "C:\MyDir\ASP_NET\Chapter03". The problem does not seem to occur when I open the folder
Contents of "C:\MyDir\ASP_NET\Chapter03\web.config":
