Why are there two web.config files in my MVC application

There is one in the Views folder.

And there is another in the root of the app.

I want to register a custom handler and i cant understand where the code should go. I'm running IIS7 in Integrated Mode so I have to add a <handlers> tag to the <system.webServer> but when I'm looking at the web.config at the Views folder I see that it uses a <httpHandlers> under <system.web> tag.

So two questions: 1. why are there two web.config files in an mvc application? 2. where and in what way I should register my custom HTTP Handler?

You should register it in root config. Views config is for configure views, for example: add namespace for all views and etc.
