I started to do some updates to a site this morning, and when I went to run it, I am getting random text instead of the site.

The site is setup on a local url, mysite.local, with an entry in hosts to map it to my PC.

I have tried a “clean and rebuild” in VS, IIS Reset, Recycling the app pool, re booting the PC, and even creating a new entry in IIS, but nothing solves it.

It only appears to be happening on aspx pages, as I can load .htm pages without error.

I need to get some updates done today, so any help would be fantastic!

Here is the text it’s outputting

The latest thing I have tried is to bring down the code from svn into a brand new folder, create a new entry in IIS and point at this. I am still getting the same issue after this!!

Also, other sites running locally are not getting the error.
