I have Sitecore as site root (which is running ok) and under it I need to have a bunch of asp.net applications running.

So far, created a virtual directory for the child application, turned it into an app. But as soon as I browse the child app it comes with this error message.

Compilation Error 
Description: An error occurred during the compilation of a resource required to service this request. Please review the following specific error details and modify your source code appropriately. 

Compiler Error Message: CS0246: The type or namespace name 'Sitecore' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

Source Error:



Line 3264:          </providers>
Line 3265:      </roleManager>
Line 3266:      <profile defaultProvider="sql" enabled="true" inherits="Sitecore.Security.UserProfile, Sitecore.Kernel">
Line 3267:          <providers>
Line 3268:              <clear/>

It seems that the child asp.net app is inheriting Sitecore settings which are coming from Sitecore web.config.

Any ideas?

    This should be possible. You’ll have to author a web.config for that non-Sitecore application in virtual directory, and overwrite the sections under <system.web> and <system.webserver> which reference Sitecore classes. This includes:

    • httpModules / httpHandlers (for these you should “remove all” and add those of that web app)
    • security section (put the default ASP.NET provider classes back)
    • in Sitecore main web.config add the path of this web app to IgnoreUrlPrefixes setting to let Sitecore know it should not handle requests to those

    It might be something else, but you should get the general idea.
