    ASP.Net using wrong web.config for virtual directory

    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:
    \MyVirtualFolde r. 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:\MyVirtualFol der\

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