Hi, if you ever encounter this error

Quote:
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

SOLUTION
I had the same issue with VS 2012.
I resolved this by

1. Unload your current project
2. edit your .csproj
3. Find this

HTML

<mvcbuildviews>false</mvcbuildviews>

4. Instead of false change the value to true
5. Load again your project and you should not have any more this error

If you do have then one solution is to delete the content of the obj folder in the project generated by compiler.

Solution 5

VS.NET 2005 was complaining about a configuration section within the web.config file in the Backup folder of my application...just remove (or move) the backup folder so it doesn't have a web.config file under the Virtual directory that your ASP.NET 2.0 application is running in.

It worked for me :)
