inheritInChildApplications property not appearing.

Question

User-43894947 posted

G'day.  Got a little problem with my <location> tag in a root web.config.

 For some reason, it comes up as invalid.  Doesn't even come up in intellisense.

I do have system.configuration reference in the project file.  Also, I have set advanced compile options to .NET 3.5.

Has it become obsolete now or some such?

Hi,

As far as I know, the inheritInChildApplications attribute doesn’t appear in the Visual Studio intellisense. So you can try something like:

<location inheritInChildApplications="false">
    <system.web>
    </system.web> 
</location> 

For more information, you can refer to http://forums.asp.net/p/1164283/1935082.aspx

 

If this doesn’t help you, please feel free to let me know.

I hope this helps.

Yeah, that's basically what I did in the first place.  No cigar.

 

For some reason, inheritInChildApplications is not a valid property of the location tag for me.  Odd yes?

Hi,

Thanks for your response.

As far as I know, the web.config Intellisense doesn't show this attribute and is not noticed on the location Element MSDN page.

You can try to just use it in the localtion element.

 

I hope this helps.

Yes, well, I forced it in there and it compiled and deployed ok.  No errors so far so I guess .NET will just have to lump it for now.

 

Thanks for caring guys.
