Do you have any idea what causes for the below error to happen. thanks a bunch.



The file web.sitemap required by XmlSiteMapProvider does not exist.

Somewhere in the project there is an XMLStieMapProvider. This provider requires the web.sitemap file by default. Either you need to create the web.sitemap or remove the provider from the page.

This error can be caused by a virtual directory not being configured as an application in IIS.

Maybe this is the problem?
