My parent appliaction is made in ASP.net 2.0.

can we run any appliaction made in asp.net 3.5 inside the parent appliaction.

it is not running when i do this.

Hey,

What do you mean "run any application made in asp.net 3.5 inside the parent application"?  Are you hosting it as a separate virtual directory???  What is your setup?

Also, upgrading from 2.0 to 3.5 your parent application shouldn't force any code changes (3.5 still uses the same 2.0 System.web DLL) so you could easily upgrade the parent app if that is an option too.

Thanks.

Not sure if this will work, but you may want to check on blocking the inhertiance of the parent config file, so that you sub app is only using its own web.config.

actually i need to stop configSections of parent directory to being inherited. because when i commented on the configSections of the root directory. it did work.

here is the confing sectio of my root directory :

<!--<configSections>
    
        <sectionGroup name="system.web.extensions" type="System.Web.Configuration.SystemWebExtensionsSectionGroup, System.Web.Extensions, Version=1.0.61025.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35">
            <sectionGroup name="scripting" type="System.Web.Configuration.ScriptingSectionGroup, System.Web.Extensions, Version=1.0.61025.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35">

                <sectionGroup name="webServices" type="System.Web.Configuration.ScriptingWebServicesSectionGroup, System.Web.Extensions, Version=1.0.61025.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35">

                    <section name="authenticationService" type="System.Web.Configuration.ScriptingAuthenticationServiceSection, System.Web.Extensions, Version=1.0.61025.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" requirePermission="false" allowDefinition="MachineToApplication"/>
                </sectionGroup>
            </sectionGroup>
        </sectionGroup>
    </configSections>-->

and here is the confug section of my sub directory

Hi,

Is the child application made in .Net 3.5 configured as a Virtual Directory in you IIS? If not can you try to set the child application as a virtual directory and try if that solves your problem

I think if you configure your child application as a different Virtual Directory inside your main application, then you will not have the problem with web.config.

Please try and let us know if it helps

Hope this helps to solve your problem

Good Luck

Regards

Vineed

no actly i cant set this bcz this i have to do in my hosting account.

in my hosting account i m allowed only to make one application in the root and inside this directory i can make number of other application.

so i will have to do something with web.config file only.

Hi,

Since there are two separate websites and they have their own web.config files, you need to create virtual directory for sub-website. Even though multiple web.config files can exist in one application, some attributes only can be in root directory of application.

You can ask your host company to confirm whether they can create virtual directory under existed virtual directory.

For more information, see ASP.NET Configuration File Hierarchy and Inheritance (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms178685.aspx), especially in section: Conflicts Between Settings on Virtual and Physical Directories.

I look forward to receiving your test results.
