Question

I have an MVC application and it has essentially two stacktraces, im wondering why there are two of them though?..

[MissingMethodException: No parameterless constructor defined for this object.]

Answer 1

One is a stacktrace of an inner exception.

It looks like you first got a MissingMethodException, with reason

No parameterless constructor defined for this object.

That caused an InvalidOperationException, with reason

An error occurred when trying to create a controller of type ‘PteDotNet.Web.Controllers.BlogController’. Make sure that the controller has a parameterless public constructor.

So apparently your BlogController needs a parameterless constructor.
