I have read all threads about this without finding any answer to my problem. I have tried with different connections string with no luck?

I have tried many things but I dont know what causes this? Has anyone had the same problem and found a solution?

First of this is my stack trace

    I’m not sure if this is the cause of your problem, but in the MSDN example for SqlDataSource I can see a different syntax for referencing the ConnectionString

      <asp:SqlDataSource
      ID="test1"   
      runat="server"   
      DataSourceMode="DataSet"  
      SelectCommand="SELECT * FROM t_produkter"  
      ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:riktigaconnstringen %>"></asp:SqlDataSource
  </asp:SqlDataSource>

    Note the $ char after the <%
