    I am trying to access the HelloWorld method compiled in one project using a
    consuming C# code-behind method compiled in a separate project.

    Both run on localhost. The test drivers provided in Visual Studio .NET 2003
    can invoke the method.

    When I attempt to add a web reference in the consuming project for the
    webservice I get the error message ...

    Configuration Error
    Description: An error occurred during the processing of a configuration file
    required to service this request. Please review the specific error details
    below and modify your configuration file appropriately.

    Parser Error Message: 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.

    Source Error:

    Line 43: by Microsoft that offers a single logon and core profile
    services for member sites.
    Line 44: -->
    Line 45: <authentication mode="Windows" />
    Line 46:
    Line 47: <!-- AUTHORIZATION

    Can you give me some guidance on how to correct this condition to permit me
    to establish the reference to the webservice?

    After I see this simple (first) case, I will be able to attack the "real"
    project.

    If there is a better newsgroup for my question, please let me know.

    (Yes I do have administrator on privileges on this machine and access to IIS
    configuration.)
