Help with "Could not load type <filename>" error

[David Flores]

I am having problems with using multiple web.config files so that i can have a protected and public areas of my web application. my current directory structure is \myweb web.config \protected login.aspx ..other files... \public mypublic.aspx web.config the myweb\web.config file has all of the settings for the protected area. and the protected area works fine. the myweb\public\web.config just has the authentication and authorization settings to allow everyone in. However when i go to any page in the public folder i get the following error Could not load type 'myweb.mypublic'. Can anyone please help? :)
