The top line in all of my aspx pages in my /portal/ directory has this error message, and I know it's a common one. I have googled this error message to no end, and I see a lot of posts telling me to configure the /portal/ folder as an
application in IIS (which I have), and more posts telling me I have nested web.configs (but none of the postings offer guidance toward a solution). My setup is that I have a web.config in my root directory, and then I'm trying to make a company portal, in the /portal/directory. The /portal/ directory has its own (necessary) web.config. My web.config line 50 is like this:
as an application in IIS Published 17 February 10 01:39 PM | Scott Mitchell I teach two six week courses on ASP.NET the element 'buildproviders' cannot be defined below the application level at the University of California - San Diego Extension. The first allowexedefinition class serves as an introduction to ASP.NET and as such many of the students create their
first ASP.NET websites in class. During the first meeting students create a simple ASP.NET website. At the end of the first evening, those students who did not bring http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9300927/error-to-use-a-section-registered-as-allowdefinition-machinetoapplication-beyo their own laptop need to work on their website from home or work; they may copy the files to a thumb drive or ZIP up the files and send them via email.

This error can be caused by a virtual directory not being configured as an application in IIS. This error message isn't the most sensible error message, especially those to ASP.NET, so let me try to explain it. Configuration information for an ASP.NET website is defined in one or more Web.config files. The configuration settings are applied in a hierarchical manner. There's a “global” Web.config file that spells out the baseline configuration information for all websites on the web server; this file lives in the %WINDIR%\Microsoft.Net\Framework\version\CONFIG folder. You can also have a Web.config file in the root folder of your website. This Web.config file can override settings defined in the “global” Web.config file, or add new ones. Additionally, you may have Web.config files in the subfolders of your website, which define new configuration settings or override configuration settings defined in Web.config files higher up in the hierarchy.

Note that many users have experienced this in both VS2010 and asp.net runtime error VS2012. It is terribly inconvenient to work around the issue because it sometimes requires the `bin` and `obj` folders to be manually deleted *for every single compile* once the bug begins to manifest. Even if that were automated as a build task (for every project...), that greatly increases compile time for large solutions.
