I’m having problems deploying my application to a production server (shared hosting). Everything works fine on my development machine but not on the server due to absolute paths, here’s a stack trace:

So as you can see, there are several places where it says C:\Users\Kassem\Desktop\Sharwe\Sharwe\ which is where the project is located on my local machine. I do not understand why the code compiled this way, shouldn’t it use relative paths automatically?
Note: My solution is divided into 3 projects, one of them is an ASP.NET MVC3 application which references the other projects (code libraries). In order to compile the whole project I right clicked on the MVC3 project and chose Build, and from there I deployed to a local directory then uploaded the files to the server.
Any suggestions?
This is just debug information embedded in the pdb file…. That’s all. It’s used when debugging to find the original source code.
