Most probable causes:
1. The version of ASP.NET on the server is not the same version on your
local box. you can check this in IIS.
2. You are missing a required assembly.
NOTE: IF this is deployed to an ISP, they sometimes have things set so
you cannot get a lot of error detail. This is to avoid hacking on their
machines, but makes it a pain in the rear for us. Deploying recently to
webhost4life, I found that my connection string was wrong and throwing
an error that was not even properly caught by my try ... catch. So it
may be something as simple as ensuring your configuration is pointing to
the right server.
Peace and Grace,
