My application runs well in debug mode. When I moved it to the server (SBS 2011), it failed with the above error. I have installed VS 2012 and copied all my files to thewwwoot folder on the server and it works in debug mode on the server. I am stumped. I have found lots of folks with similar problems, but I can't ascertain which dependency is missing or the issure with format. The program is written in asp.net and vb.net.
The only thing unusual is that I was utilizing the VS login and was having to many problems with SQL express; so, I removed all of the references to it and built my own login page.
Thanks...
