crazy asp.net error

Answer 1

Turn off your development box, and re-run the app. Something's hitting your dev box without you realizing it.

Answer 2

The stack trace references file paths based on the development machine you compiled it on. To remove these artifacts for a production server, you should compile in release mode which will not contain full debug info.

Answer 3

Stack traces are not very instructive without the source, can you post your code. You often get file refernces like that in stack traces when you deploy debug code onto other machines i think that paths of the source on the machine the compiled the dll are storedin the symbol files.

Answer 4

The strange thing about the error is that it points to my local dev machine in the error stack. Is that crazy or what

No it is not :-) The pdb (program database file) holds the information about the files. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms241903.aspx

Since you compiled it locally before deploying to the server, the PDB stores the information about your local files. It does not mean your server is talking to your development box.
