Hi,
Please help me. I would like to know how to add more than one web.config
file to an ASP.NET APPLICATION/PROJECT

I want this 'coz in my web site some pages need no authuntication and
authorization.anonymous users are allowed access some pages.but they are
restricted to view some pages which need to proper authuntication and
authorization

I read that i need to add all secured pages into one sub dir and add another
web.config in that folder. But it is giving error.wat i did is :
in main web.config.
<authentication mode="Forms" />
<authorization>
<allow users="*" />
</authorization>

in the seconf web.config(created in a subfolder)
<authentication mode="Froms" />
<authorization>
<allow users="csa" />
<deny users="?" />
</authorization>

but its giving following error

Server Error in '/satya' Application.

You need to make that subdirectory an AppRoot for that second web.config to
work. That is why you get the "virtual directory not being configured as an
application" error.

I didnt understand the thing AppRoot.I am a new bee in .NET and in learing
stage.Any way by searching in web I got a solution which solved my probelm.

The solution is :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
<system.web>
<authorization>
<allow users="Satya"/>
<deny users="*" />
</authorization>
</system.web>
</configuration>

The thing is we should remove every thing from inner Web.Config except the
above code.What I did is using VS IDE i added a web.config file ,in which
there will be built in code given by IDE ,i simply edited the code and added
my code.Which is the reason for error.Now after removing all unnesasary code
I got the solution.
