Problems after converting to ASP.Net 2

[Urs Vogel]

Hi

After VS 2005 converted my ASP.NET project, it doesn't compile and gives me
this one and only 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. D:\#\WebServer\Baclup.Source\Web.config 37 "

WebConfig line 37:
<authentication mode="Windows" />
<!-- AUTHORIZATION
This section sets the authorization policies of the application.
You can allow or deny access
to application resources by user or role. Wildcards: "*" mean
everyone, "?" means anonymous
(unauthenticated) users.
-->
<authorization>

I have no clue what this is trying to tell me.. :-(

Any hints? Thanks.

Try commenting out the authentication mode = "Windows" line. I had a
similar error awhile back and the project now works fine. Also, have
you tried "configuring the virtual directory as an application in IIS?"

Thanks Paul,

commenting it out did the job.
