I need help please.

I have a web which I've developed on Visual Studio 2003 on a WinXP Pro machine. Web works fine on devel machine but wont even start on discountasp webhost.

Have used copy project to move it over, amongst other ways. same problem. All my components on the host have a file location on my local machine - how can that be?? and how do I change this, the file locations are greyed out?

I thought this was supposed to be a simlple matter of transfering the files and away you go.

Any help appreciated. This is my first time!!!

Also, if you look at the error stck trace, it seems to describe file locations as being on my development machine. how can that be? all the files are on the web site host

This is a coding related issue rather than a VS.NET upload issue.

Application that work on one computer may not alway work on other computer. For example, if you application try to access a file path that exist on one computer but not other.

As far as the stack trace, it is normal that it shows your local path. This is how VS.NET works, when you compile the project, VS.NET compile the source file (.vb, .cs,etc) into the dll on your computer. All the debug information that compile into the pdb file will reference your local path.

i suggest you look at the line of code that produces the error and see if you can make anything out of it/

Bruce. I think I found the problem. I managed to replicate it on my own server. I think it's actually a Microsoft "feature". I found reference to it on a MS KB article.

It seems a fault occurs when you copy xml files from one webhost to another, causing error with the .readxml method.

I managed to cure the fault on my server so, touch wood, I can get it work when I try and re-post the file to the hosting server.

Thanks
