Is it possible to have multiple web.config files in a given virtual
directory in different directories? For example: http://localhost/myapp (Virtual directory maps to C:\MyApp) http://localhost/myapp/newFolder (web folder in the above virtual dir maps
to C:\MyApp\NewFol der)
Can I have one web.config file at C:\MyApp and another at
C:\MyApp\NewFol der? When I tried to do this, VS.NET web project (during
debugging) throws an errors saying that something is wrong at the server? So
I compiled the project and tried to bring to navigate to a page in the
browser (without debugging), I still get an error. But when I remove the
web.config file at C:\MyApp\NewFol der, it works fine.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

yes, but you are limited what can be in the second one... usually thought
its better to have the ONE in the root and use the <location> tags to
explicitely handle things in the subfolders

Curt, what are the limitations on the web.config in the subfolder?
The only limitation I'm aware of is an issue with assembly references if the
sub-folder is also an application. If the main web.config uses
<httpModules>
<add name="MyModule" type="MyNamespa ce.MyModule, MyAssembly" />
</httpModules>
Then the subapplication will be looking for a SubApp\bin\MyAs sembly.dll. You
can add a <remove name="MyModule" /> to the sub-web.config, but it's already
too late - ASP.NET will be looking for MyAssembly.dll before it gets around
to processing your <remove>. The workaround is to place a dummy
MyAssembly.dll in SubApp\bin.

Ah, yes. IF it's an "app" then all bets are off.
If it's not there are some things, like the security model/type that can't
be "re-set" in a sub web.config, only once in the root one.
