I have downloaded the online project in ASP.Net. While running application I get an error "It is an error to use a section registered as allowDefinition='MachineToApplication' beyond application level. This error can be caused by a virtual directory not being configured as an application in IIS".
What changes should i make in web.config or elsewhere to make this work?
I have created a website which has a main level and 2 sub categories which can only be accessed if logging in. I am using visual web developer 2008.So for example i have admin and prodpage as a subfolder which requires authentication. I currently have
<location path="/Admin">
<system.web>
<authentication mode="Forms">[code]....
but i get the error
It is an error to use a section registered as allowDefinition='MachineToApplication' beyond application level
Note:i have added in the main part of the config a forms authenitication but this redirects me start to the login page upon loading website which is not what i want. This part was meant for prodpage.
[Code]....
I also have a sub web.config under prodpage which basically does the following:
</authentication>
<deny users="?" />
</authorization>
I have done project in .NET 1.1. when i am opening that project in vs2005 that through solution explorer and build i am getting error like below.
It is an error to use a section registered as allowDefinition='MachineToApplication' beyond application level. This error can be caused by a virtual directory not being configured as an application in IIS.
i am configured my local with virtual directory also. i open through local iis it is working fine .but if i run the application then i am getting error above.common thing s i have done are my application has 3 weconfigs in 3 folders and one main config. and i have taken individual authentications and authorisations in main config only. this is not a priblem .actually this problem will occur if we have webconfigs and each have permissions then we will get this right, no problem i seperated.
but why i am getting this error. if i open in vs2008 also i am getting this error,
I want to manage two web.config file in a application one for the front-end user and second for the back-end(admin) user.for admin section I have created a folder with name admin in the same website.following settiongs are in the admin/web.config
when I am trying to run the application I am getting following error message:It is an error to use a section registered as allowDefinition='MachineToApplication' beyond application level. This error can be caused by a virtual directory not being configured as an application in IIS

I have to do some changes in a site which was developed by some developer already. On server it was not in built format while it was in code format. I downloaded its copy and try to run it on my machine (I have Win 2003 server) but faced the subjected line. In web.config its authentication mode is form. I am not much experienced and have not used form authentications. I even tried to create a new web site and copy files in it and run it but no luck. Please guide me how I can remove this error.
View 1 RepliesI am using VS 2008, IIS 7, .NET 3.5 on a vista machine. I created a new web-site using "HTTP", thus to use IIS. The application being created by VS 2008 created the virtual directory.
There are only two objects created initially with a new website "Default.aspx" and "web.config" file. I've made no changes and choose to view in browser and receive the following error:
It is an error to use a section registered as allowDefinition='MachineToApplication' beyond application level. This error can be caused by a virtual directory not being configured as an application in IIS.
I've removed and reinstalled IIS 7. None of the sites previously created work. I've validated that a duplicate webconfig doesn't exist.
I have a website in asp classic. This website has a virtual directory in IIS. I have copied some
asp.net pages to same directory. Pages are working fine but I am not able to debug website it give me this error:
Error

I have searched internet and find a solution that create an application in IIS, I have created application but still error is there.
in my code i use in the web config the following code
Code:
<compilation debug="true" strict="false" explicit="true">
<pages enableViewStateMac="true"/>
<machineKey validationKey="135265D42623958C1E84631D0AB327E8E43 3978BD4A28FC0A0CD71E38A5F3D4F950DD32034058613CBFF0 890211D4E6F4C6E79EDC6A522572B31F3583DC5D929" decryptionKey="FE65F6B07ACA419BC98EC59992702913509 ECDA570BDA0B86643F4EE21643671" validation="SHA1" decryption="AES"/>
i use this code because i had problems when 30 minutes of the last action were past then it didnt found the other pages of my project with this code it works fine
but i have a subfolder inside the project and there the problem still exists
i had a web config there then i tried to adjust the previous code inside this second web config but i took this error "It is an error to use a section registered as allowDefinition='MachineToApplication' beyond application level. This error can be caused by a virtual directory not being configured as an application in IIS."

View 1 RepliesI have to handle error related to web application. I am not sure how its works. I am thinking that I will add an error page (error.aspx) and in global.asax ,application_onError, I will redirecting the user to error page and that should be enough ! i mean it will handle error automatically.
View 4 Replies Today I went over to the FTP at work and took a copy of the site being developed in India to help them along with the development process. However after I copied it to the local machine here at work, I get the following error when trying to run..
"It is an error to use a section registered as allowDefinition='MachineToApplication' beyond application level. This error can be caused by a virtual directory not being configured as an application in IIS."
It seems to be pointing to this line in the web.config
<authentication mode="Windows" />
I don't understand? Do I have to install IIS on my Vista machine here at work and configure it somehow? Or do I need to modify the web.config?
Error Description while browsing the website under IIS "The application attempted to perform an operation not allowed by the security policy. To grant this application the required permission please contact your system administrator or change the application's trust level in the configuration file." Initially I deleted the virtual directory, created again, set the permission to anonymous, set the browse and execute permissions, no solution. Then after doing many trials, I found out the basic problem reading the error "not allowed by the security policy". In web configuration file if we set the security policy to Fully Trusted, then problem solved and application working fine. or Set the trust level to the main configuration file in he "C:WINDOWSMicrosoft.NETFrameworkv2.0.50727CONFIGweb.config"
View 1 RepliesThere seems to be an issue with the "Trust" level when executing within a "Cloud" environment. In order for the following app to work it needs a trust level of at least "Medium." This web app is developed using VB.NET 3.5, and Visual Studio 2008. The app works perfectly on my local sever but when deployed/published to the "Cloud" it returns the error: System.Security.Permissions.SecurityPermission, mscorlib, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089' failed. I have added all 4 required values, ConsumerKey, ConsumerSecret, OAuthToken, and OAuthTokenSecret to the web.config file in the "appSettings" section of the "configuration"
[Code]....
If found that by going to [URL] and signing into the account that is using the application, then go to the "Settings" page, go to the bottom of the page and click on the "API" menu option. Once the API page appears you will clik on the button "2", Register An App. On the right side on the new page, you will see a button "View Your Applications." If you have previously registered your app, click this button, If not fill out the appliction for a new app. Now at the View your Applications page, select the app you want to get the authorization keys for where is says "Edit Details". Now click on the button to the right that says, "Application Detail." Here you will find your Consumer Key and your Consumer Secret Key. On the right side of this page you will see the menu option "My Access Token", click it and you will find your oauth_token and your oauth_token_secret keys! Not that you have all the keys, put them in the "appSettings" section of the web.config file. Add "Dim twConn As New TwitterVB2.TwitterAPI" at the top of the page.
I then created a subroutine where I pass in the Tweet:
[Code]....
This code works great in an enviornment that allows at least a "Medium" trust level. However it appears that many of the "new" hosting envrionments such as "Cloud Hosting" and others do not allow this trust level automatically!However if the trust level is less than "Medium" on your host you will likely receive the error message: "Twitter Returned: Request for the permission of type 'System.Security.Permissions.SecurityPermission, mscorlib, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089' failed."

How to remove the unused references in form level, vb.net application and web application?
How can I use fxcop to identity undisposed objects like dataset, dataview, connection, stream...? Any one having custom rules for the same?
When debugging my application, I m getting an application level error in global.asax file. The Server.GetLastError() reads "File does not exist." but thats it. No more details on the filename or the location where the code is trying to find a file. I commented out the application_error method, with a hope that the exception would be thrown when the debug the application, but no errors were thrown. How do i find the source of the error, cos I want to resolve this issue by either putting the file that the application is looking for or by completely removing the code that is referencing the file.
View 7 RepliesMy ISP recently has migrated my app to a new platform. The app has now to be parked in a root subfolder, say site1, rather than at the root.
The main page can still be accessed via [URL] is now located at /site1/default.aspx. Subfolder pages however cannot be accessed correctly anymore since the url includes now subfolder name "site1" ie
[URL]
instead of
[URL]
This of course breaks page referencing.
Despite multiple requests, I have not yet obtained an answer so far. Question: Is there a simple way to strip away string "site1" from the url, preferably at the web.config level? I know this can be done programmatically at the page level, to clean up page references (>30 pages). In addition, this could entail further compatibilty problems between the deployment version and the local development site.
My web application is composed of several Visual Studio projects. It currently runs fine under high trust level (<trust level = "High" />). When I try to run it under medium trust level, I get this error:

I have a need to add an application level event (like Application_Start) but not in global.asax. The reason that I can't use global.asax is because this is a web application for which I don't have source code but I want to add some functionality to it. I need to insert an application start code and was wondering it there was anyway to do it. I'm not sure that if I add a class or aspx page to the sie if it will dynamically compile since this is a web application.
View 8 RepliesI am working on a ASP.NET MVC 2.0 Multi-Presentation web application which would use a common codebase to support different websites. These websites would differ in following aspects:
Each website will have their own headers, footers, images, CSS etc (I guess website specific Master Pages)
Some of the UI elements could be different based on soft-coded settings at website level
What is the best approach to handle these requirements? Should I be storing these website level soft-coded settings in Database or multiple config files? I might have to provide a admin UI to manage these soft-coded settings. How do I access these settings in different layers (MVC, Services, Repositories etc) of my application?
I am about to deploy an ASP .NET application (developed with LINQ-to-SQL). I have taken following precautions: Database access via user with limited access, however, since application is to access the sensitive data, I can't deprive this limited access user from it Database server is not exposed to external network - is hiding behind DMZ and all external ports are blocked I have done thorough security testing of the web-application; SQL Injections, rights management, illegal data access (via post/get data tempering) Application is operating on SSL
1 - I am using ASP .NET authorization API; any recommendation for avoiding session hijacking (in case someone some-how gets to know the session key). Is there are way to change the authentication cookie less prone to threats? Say like, changing it after every request? (I know I am get very conscious about this particular item)
2 - Data in the database is not encrypted. To make things ultra-secure, I am thinking about implementing transparent data encryption. Can someone share his/her experience or a link about implementing data level encryption with SQL Server 2008 along with pros-and-cons?
3 - Recommendation for storing connection string in web.config. Is using integrated security better then using encrypted database connection string?
When setting up asp.net error handlers for things like 404 errors, it is more 'efficient' to do this in IIS, or handle it in the Global.asax Application_Error event? I know the latter will be called, and I want to log this information in a database, but should I then just return without any redirect and let IIS do the redirect, or would it be better to do a response.redirect inside application_error once we've logged it?
View 1 RepliesDoes the same connection string used on two different physical servers hosting different web applications that talk to the same database draw connections from the same connection pool? Or are pooled connections confined to at the application level?
I ask because I inherited a 7 year old .NET 1.1 web application which is riddled with in-line SQL, unclosed and undisposed sql connection and datareader objects. Recently, I was tasked to write a small web app that is hosted on another server and talks to the same database and therefore used the same database connection string. I created a LINQ object to read and write the one table required by the app. Now the original .NET 1.1 app is throwing exceptions like
"Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to obtaining a connection from the pool. This may have occurred because all pooled connections were in use and max pool size was reached."
Maybe these are unreleated, but wanted to get your opinions to make sure I cover all my bases.
I found this code:
AspNetHostingPermissionLevel GetCurrentTrustLevel() {
foreach (AspNetHostingPermissionLevel trustLevel in
new AspNetHostingPermissionLevel [] {
AspNetHostingPermissionLevel.Unrestricted,
AspNetHostingPermissionLevel.High,
AspNetHostingPermissionLevel.Medium,
AspNetHostingPermissionLevel.Low,
AspNetHostingPermissionLevel.Minimal
} ) {
try {
new AspNetHostingPermission(trustLevel).Demand();
}
catch (System.Security.SecurityException ) {
continue;
}
return trustLevel;
}
return AspNetHostingPermissionLevel.None;
}
Get current ASP.NET Trust Level programmatically):
but for C#, and would like to have it for VB.NET. Any chance of someone expert in both VB.NET and C# that can translate this to VB code?
I tried myself and got the following VB.NET code but it generates an error inside my VWD:
Private Function GetCurrentTrustLevel() As AspNetHostingPermissionLevel
For Each trustLevel As AspNetHostingPermissionLevel In New _
AspNetHostingPermissionLevel() {AspNetHostingPermissionLevel.Unrestricted, _
AspNetHostingPermissionLevel.High, AspNetHostingPermissionLevel.Medium, _
AspNetHostingPermissionLevel.Low, AspNetHostingPermissionLevel.Minimal}
Try
New AspNetHostingPermission(trustLevel).Demand()
Catch generatedExceptionName As System.Security.SecurityException
Continue Try
End Try
Return trustLevel
Next
Return AspNetHostingPermissionLevel.None
End Function
These parts seems to be wrong:
New AspNetHostingPermission(trustLevel).Demand()
and
Continue Try
Obviously, need to be handled by someone fluent in both C# and VB.NET and can spot the errors in VB.NET
