ASP.Net using wrong web.config for virtual directory

[Robin9876]

In IIS 7 I have created a web site which is located at C:\MyWebSite
and in IIS Manager created a virtual folder which points to C:
\MyVirtualFolder. The virtual folder was then converted to an
application using a separate application pool.

However when accessing the virtual folder URL in a web browser it
appears to be using the web.config of the root web site.

What needs to change to allow the web.config in the virtual directory
to be used?

I don't understand where C:\MyWebSite comes into it.

In IIS the web site's file location is C:\MyWebSite and then the
virtual directory was created in IIS on this web site with its file
location as C:\MyVirtualFolder\

I got this to work by adding the following (with a closing tag) to the
root web.config
<location path="." inheritInChildApplications="false">
