In an existing web application, the web.config file contains an <httpRuntime> element referencing a custom class in the "requestValidationType" attribute.
To use the same site bindings, I created a child application with a web.config overriding the <httpRuntime> element with an overriden "requestValidationType" attribute. However, in the child application I get an error pointing to the parent's web.config file saying that the class referenced in the "requestValidationType" attribute can not be found.
Is the <httpRuntime> element special? Why it is not overriden? Thanks
