To find the issue you are having with this problem.

In your global.asax file add:

void Application_Error(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    Exception objErr = Server.GetLastError().GetBaseException();
    string err =    "Error caught in Application_Error event" +                
            "\n \nError Message: " + objErr.Message.ToString()+ 
            "\n \nStack Trace: " + objErr.StackTrace.ToString();

       System.Diagnostics.EventLog.WriteEntry("MYApplication", err, System.Diagnostics.EventLogEntryType.Error);
    Server.ClearError();     
} 

You can set a break point here or log this message into an EventLog.
