Question

I build a website, that:

• reads data from a website by HttpWebRequest
• Sort all Data
• Parse values of the data
• and give out newly

On local server it works perfect, but when I push it to my live server, the double.Parse fails with an error.

So:
– how to track what the double.parse is trying to parse?
– how to debug live server?

Lang is ASP.Net / C#.net 2.0

Answer 1

You probably have culture issues.

Pass CultureInfo.InvariantCulture to double.Parse and see if it helps.

To see the exception on the server, add <customErrors mode="Off" /> to the <system.web> element in web.config. (And make sure to remove it afterwords)
Alternatively, you can setup a real error logging system, such as ELMAH, or check the server’s event log.
