When I use a third party control (ASPxGridView from DevExpress) it creates a web.config file in the project root. The module then fails because this isn’t the application root. If I delete the web.config it is better but the control still doesn’t work correctly. I am not sure whether to try and merge the web.config that is created into the web.config file at the root of DNN or should I create a Virtual Directory? I am stuck. I know this is a newbie question but I am still learning.

I use to develop using a Web Site Project but now I am trying to use Web Application Projects.

I setup my develop environment according to Christ Hammond’s instructions…

Thanks

Chris - Thanks for your quick response and also thank you very much for the template and clear instructions provided in your blog. It was really helpful for getting me started.

I am not familiar with the DNN config so I will have to look at that. I was just surprised that it added a web.config file in the root of my project when it wasn’t the application root. Here is what I had to put in the web.config file (located in the DNN application root) to make the ASPxGridView work. I also had to copy some DLL files into the bin directory.
