first of all i use asp.net 2.0

i created my connection in web.config

in form_load of frmLogin.aspx:
Try
con = New SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings("conn"))
con.Open()
Catch ex As Exception
Response.Write("Connection Error")
End Try

i created a new virtual directory & gave it read & run permissions. then i went to the properties tab of the above created virtual directory & clicked the documents tab. i added frmLogin.aspx & moved it to top.

in ie:

http://localhost/mylogin

the page opend with the error i specified in catch block.
