You got an error about the aspx page but posted the aspx.cs code.

By some weird reason, you .aspx is not well-formed. Please check it up. Try to compile your ASP.NET solution with this file; it it's fine, check up that it is deployed correctly (most likely, it is, because you probably work with the HTTP server embedded in Visual Studio, in this case, you have exact same files an in the project).

Also, for a simple checkup, you can rename your .aspx file to .xml and test with any Web browser; it will show you the wrong point in the file.

Solution 1

just put Application_error tag in Global.asax

protected void Application_Error(object sender, EventArgs e)
{

}

No need to add any error handling code inside

The error was about UpdateConfig.aspx. Is there some reason to think global.asax is the problem?

Solution 3

I think you added  <httpErrors errorMode="Custom" existingResponse="PassThrough"/>
in <system.webserver> (web.config).
Please remove this for a while so that you can see the actual error.
After you get error you can search for actual error.
