Hi everybody,

My page was working on Tuesday except that it was not working the way I wanted.

Anyway, today it's refusing to run giving me "Error 17 External component has thrown an exception."

Obviously it's not helpful.

I found this http://dotnetdebug.net/2007/05/21/external-component-has-thrown-an-exception-in-aspnet/

but I'm still stumbled on "Attach WinDbg to the ASP.NET worker process (w3wp.exe in Windows 2003, aspnet_wp.exe in Windows XP/2000) "

I don't see aspnet_wp.exe in the Processes, I tried to attach the process from the WinDbg itself, but I'm not sure which process it should be.

Can someone please guide me as to how to approach this problem?

I opened each of my UserControl and build page for every one of them.

When I try to build the project it gives me the same error message. Individual pages succeed in building.

Thanks a lot in advance.
