Answer 1

option-1: In Visual Studio goto WebSite/WebApplication properties and change Managed Pipeline Mode to 'Classic'.

option-2: Open %userprofile%\documents\iisexpress\config\applicationhost.config and locate your site in "Sites" section and change the app pool to classic (say Clr4ClassicAppPool).

If you want all the WebApplications/WebSites that you are going to create in Visual Studio to run in 'Classic' mode (by default), then in %userprofile%\documents\iisexpress\config\applicationhost.config file, then change the applicationDefaults app pool as shown below.
