Hi, I have a strange problem.  I have a module that works, however, when I go into the designer of the View or when I debug (not sure when) I get a local web.config file generated.  With that in place in the module folder I get the following exception at run time and a Telerik tag prefix not registered error in the designer.  If I delete the module's web.config all works well till the next time.  The strange thing is I have another identical test module that does not exhibit this problem.

I have the following in DNNDev\webconfig:

<pages>
<controls>
        <add tagPrefix="telerik" namespace="Telerik.Web.UI" assembly="Telerik.Web.UI"/>


DotNetNuke.Services.Exceptions.ModuleLoadException: 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.

(...,\DNNDev\DesktopModules\ssmi\web.config line 56) ---> System.Configuration.ConfigurationErrorsException: 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.

They are the same, I used the VS template to create the projects then rolled code from one to the other. There is only 1 virtual directory in IIS, DNNDev, not one for each module. I removed the web.config (debug and release) from the module folder after the project was created. Somehow in the working module it was recreated again. The VS Designer requires a local module web.config but that causes problems in the run time. This doesn't happen with the Test, working, module.

Hrmmm the Telerik control, I missed that key fact in the first message. I think I've seen a similar result when working with the Telerik controls, though I'm not sure why.
