I am having an issue preventing web.config inheritance in IIS 7. I have a .NET 3.5 application that is a child application to a .NET 4.0 application in IIS 7. I am getting the dreaded error:
The configuration section 'system.web.extensions' cannot be read because it is missing a section declaration
I have tried to wrap the entire system.web element in the parent web.config in a location tag with inheritInChildApplications set to false and the allowOverRide set to true as shown below:
<location path="." inheritInChildApplications="false" allowOverRide="true">
<system.web>
.....
</system.web>
However no matter what I have tried I have not been able to get any sort of change to the behavior of the child application. Someone please help.
EDIT:
Here is the entire web.config:
