Yeah.. web.config inheritence is very confusing. Most people think that the web.config starts at the app root level. Bruce DiscountASP.NET www.DiscountASP.NET

Recently I ran into an odd problem on a DASP server. ASP.NET 2.0 code would run locally but would fail on the remote server. I apologize to the DASP staff because I thought this was something related to the WinFX server changes. In the end looking at the problem from a new angle allowed me to discover the real problem. . . Root web.config inheritance! This article was of great help in resolving the problem: http://weblogs.asp.net/owscott/archive/2005/12/29/ASP.NET-files-and-inheritance.aspx
