nested virtual directories

[Ged]

I am using the Fiefdom techniques ( a seperation of
concerns pattern ).
I have 2 asp.nET projects, each with their own virtual dir
1. Esa.RefData.WebClient
2. Esa.Common.WebClient

Now, RefData.Webclient, needs to use sme user controsl
from Common.WebClient.
Hence, i copy thr dlls and ascx files to have a virtual
dir structure like this:
Esa.RefData.WebClient (vir dir)
bin
Esa.RefData.WebClient.dll
Esa.Common.WebClient.dll
Common.WebClient (folder, not a virdir)
CommonUserControl.ascx
TestPage.aspx

TestPage.aspx has a tag like this on the top of the page:
<%@ Register TagPrefix="uc1" TagName="TopMenu"
Src="../Esa.Common.WebClient/CommonUserControl.ascx" %>



When i try to access the page i get the error:

Configuration Error
Description: An error occurred during the processing of a
configuration file required to service this request.
Please review the specific error details below and modify
your configuration file appropriately.

Parser Error Message: 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.

Source Error:


Line 44: by Microsoft that offers a single
logon and core profile services for member sites.
Line 45: -->
Line 46: <authentication mode="Windows" />
Line 47:
Line 48: <!-- AUTHORIZATION




This shouldwork, and its important it does to allow
fiefdom based builds for a Web based project. The
web.cnfig files have nothing different from a deafult one,
and it work fine for everything except pages that
reference the Common.WebClient user controls.


Any idea?

Gerard,

This error is caused by setting the authentication mode beneath the
application root. You can have a web.config in a sub-folder, but that
web.config cannot contain any element (such as the <authentication>
element) which has an allowDefinition of MachineToApplication.

The allowDefinition is specified in the machine.config file.

Jim,

Thanks. i new about this, but i reasilsed it was caused by
the way i was structuring my code.
i hade the .ascxc and the .cs in the same folder.
So, when i compiled it i ended up with 2 versions of the
dll that represented the ascx.

This confused the hell out of the framework at the aspnet
level.

By simply removng the usercontrol.cs file everything
started working.

It all works now very well.

thanks for the prompt reply.
Gerard
