  I have siteinfinity is my primary website in asp.net 3.5. I also has older application in Asp.net 1.1. When I configure the older application 1.1 to run as vitual directory. It keep read root web.config file which it in 3.5 version. I try to use inheritInChildApplications attribute in the parent website but it doesn't work. Any help asap is appreciated.

  Hi An Vuong,
  
  First make sure that you have added the location element in the right place. In collections, configuration settings are typically added to the collection via an add child element, removed by key name via a remove child element, or the entire collection can be cleared via a clear child element. An added setting in a child configuration file overrides a setting of the same key name in a parent configuration file unless duplicates are allowed. You can take a look at the following articles at MSDN - ASP.NET Configuration File Hierarchy and Inheritance and General Attributes Inherited by Section Elements
  
  Also it will be good if you could have both the applications using the same .NET Framework version.

  It doesn't work.
  I have the following configuration in the root (top level)  asp.net 3.5 version.
  <location inheritInChildApplications="false">
      <system.web>
      </system.web>
   </location>
  
   I also have following configuration in the virtual directory level asp.net 1.1
  <configuration>
      <configSections>
          <clear/>
      </configSections>
  </configuration>
  Still doesn't work. I think location is only cover system.web section only not the configSections. Can you post code and location for me.
  
  Thank you.

  Hi An Vuong,
  
  SectionGroup is correctly declared ( more information at sectionGroup Element for configSections (General Settings Schema. The issue you are experiencing is mainly related to not correct version of the ASP.NET framework for the application in IIS( example - version 1 instead of 2.0).
  
  As suggested before try to compile both the applications in the same .NET Framework version( "Also it will be good if you could have both the applications using the same .NET Framework version.")

  That is what I am trying to avoid. Is there a way around it? What if someone has alot of asp.net 1.1 applications and if they are having a new website in 3.5; it will take time to convert which it people trying to avoid. Is there away we can configure them?
  
  Thank you

  Hi An Vuong.
  I have similar problem. Try to use such tags construction.
  <location path="." inheritInChildApplications="false">
       <system.web>
       ....
       </system.web>
  </location
  Your application in subdirectory will use it's own web.config file.
  
  Regards,
  Crusader.

  Hello Crusader, An Vuong,

  
  

  You should also consider clearing providers in child application before declaring the ones specific to it (connection strings too):

  <localization defaultProvider="Sitefinity" persistenceMode="PathPrefix" defaultCulture="en" cultures="en, es, fr, de, bg">

      <providers>

          <clear/>

          <add name="Sitefinity" type="Telerik.Localization.Data.DefaultProvider, Telerik.Localization.Data" connectionStringName="DefaultConnection"/>

      </providers>

  </localization>

  
  

   This can be done for all functionality which uses provider model.
