SiteMapPath Control

Hello All,

I have a book called "Beggining ASP.NET 2.0" by WROX.

Right now I am in Chapter 3 trying to do the example on SiteMapPath Control on page 88.
Whenever I run it, I get the following error and I can't figure out why it's happening.

Error:
"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."

First of all, why is "IIS" being mentioned.  Isn't it supposed to be "Cassini"?

Thank you any help will truly be appreciated.  Thanks.

Well, I'd need more information, could you post your web.config file here, as it is most likely there the problem lies.
