That's really odd.
Everytime I create a project in VS 2005 and later open
the .sln file with VWD, the conversion wizard runs.
re:
!As far i could see, there was no "section" tags in my web.config file.
There wouldn't be. Those sections go into the machine.config file.
What I asked you was to check whether you web.config contained references to those objects.
re:
!The line i'm directed to when clicking on the error description says:
!<authentication mode="Forms">
Yes, that's the reference to <section name="authentication".
What authentication code do you have in your app ?
Do you have a logon page which requests credentials from your users ?
Here's a complete example to test the authentication capability you seem to be missing:
Could you create a new project in VWD, copy the 3 files
I included in web.zip into the new project and run *default.aspx*
by right-clicking it in the Solution Explorer and selecting "View in Browser" ?
....and then post back the results of your test ?
You should get prompted for authentication.
Use "tm**@viltersten.com" for both the username and the password.
You should first be sent to login.aspx and then, after inputting the credentials above,
be redirected to login.aspx where the username "tm**@viltersten.com" will be displayed.
In case you can't download zip files, here's the text of the files :

Running those 2 pages with the web.config will tell you if
the problem is with VWD...or with your authentication code.
Please post back the results of the test, OK ?

"K Viltersten" <tm**@viltersten.comwrote in message news:op***************@lp028.pagero.local...
!when i try to run index.aspx, i get error message as follows:
!Error 95 It is an error to use a section registered as
!allowDefinition='MachineToApplication' beyond application level.
Did you convert the project when you first opened it inVWD 2008?
I haven't been asked about any conversions. I simply opened
VWD2008 Express and opened the SLN-file containig the
solution i've been working in VS2005. It just got opened
and the only nag i got was one for converting the line breaks
to Windows format.
re:
!It's also suggested that it might be due to that the directory isn't
!configured as an application in the IIS. What can be done to resolve
it?
I suggest you check the specific setting which is causing theproblem in
your web.config.
There's not too many of them:
<section name="anonymousIdentification"
<section name="authentication"
<section name="healthMonitoring"
<section name="hostingEnvironment"
<section name="machineKey"
<section name="membership"
<section name="profile"
<section name="roleManager"
<section name="securityPolicy"
<section name="sessionState"
<section name="siteMap"
<section name="trust"
<section name="urlMappings"
<section name="cache"
<section name="outputCache"
<section name="outputCacheSettings"
<section name="sqlCacheDependency"
As far i could see, there was no "section" tags in my web.config
file. The line i'm directed to when clicking on the error
description says:
<system.web>
<customErrors defaultRedirect="Error.aspx" mode="RemoteOnly"/>
BELOW IS THE LINE
<authentication mode="Forms">
ABOVE IS THE LINE
<forms timeout="10000"/>
</authentication>
<compilation debug="true">

<add assembly="System.DirectoryServices, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral,
