Carl,

I placed the <customErrors mode="Off"/> tag in my local machine application in the web config file. What does this coding do? When I now check the web config file back into source control and the application is placed back in Test should the error message now appear as custom showing what is actually wrong? I am using VS 2012 Team Foundation Services.

Yes. It should switch off any custom error pages and simply display the underlying error instead.

Carl,

I found out that the web config file was somehow looking at .Net Framework 2.0 instead of the .Net Framework 4.0. When I checked the entire application in somehow, The web.config was overriding it back to .NET 2.0.
