allowDefinition ='MachineToAppl ication' beyond application level.

Why is this being caused and what is the solution? I am using a book that
teaches ASP.NET 2.0 but trying out the example codes on my ASP.NET 3.5
running the development server instead of IIS. What is the solution?

WEB.CONFIG says:

<authenticati on mode="Forms">
<forms loginUrl="Defau lt.aspx"></forms>
</authentication>


The error message says:

It is an error to use a section registered as
allowDefinition ='MachineToAppl ication' beyond application level. This error
can be caused by a virtual directory not being configured as an application
in IIS.

re:

The error mesage tells you that :
"This error can be caused by a virtual directory not being configured as an application in IIS."

You are trying to use Forms authentication in a directory
which is not configured as an application or, at least, as a virtual directory.

RE: It is an error to use a section registered as allowDefinition='MachineToApplication' There's an asp.net 1.1 vb.net vs 2003 solution under a virtual directory on one of our sites. I can see the solution and project files in under the folder where the IIS virtual directory is pointing. The solution is working fine.
