I have a web site that is just serving as a Remoting Server and has remoting configuration inside its web.config file.

<system.runtime.remoting>
    <application>
      <service>
        <activated type="abc.def.ghi"/>
      </service>
      <channels>
        <channel ref="http" machineName="localhost"/>
      </channels>
    </application>
  </system.runtime.remoting>

Besides this web.config file, it has only these files in it:

dataConfiguration.config
enterpriseLibrary.config
log.config
website.publishproj
bin folder - which has the DLLs that are served from this project via remoting

When I build the web site, I receive build error which is:

"object reference not set to an instance of an object".

How can I debug what's causing this error and how to remove it?

Please advise.

    Ok, what made you think the problem lies in your web.config and not in the website itself you're trying to build? – walther Apr 29 '13 at 14:25
  • I thought it is serving the objects from the assemblies which are present in the bin folder and they are configured to be served in the `web.config` as `` elements. Besides these two things - the bin and web.config, I can't guess what can be the cause. – teenup Apr 29 '13 at 14:28
  • Build errors usually point to a specific line of code...You really don't have to guess, you just need to read the message (`WHOLE MESSAGE`) and find out which line is the problematic one. We can't debug this for you by looking at your web.config. – walther Apr 29 '13 at 14:56

The issue is resolved. I had a assembly reference in my web.config where there was a version mismatch between it and the assembly present inside the bin folder:

<add assembly="Oracle.DataAccess, Version=4.112.3.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89B483F429C47342"/>

This error appears when Target framework is not selected. enter image description here
