System.Net.WebUtility' threw an exception

I have a Asp net web site. sometimes (I don't know when) it threw an exception. (to the browser it sends 404 error).

The type initializer for 'System.Net.WebUtility' threw an exception. 
at System.Net.WebUtility.HtmlEncode(String value) 
at System.Web.Util.HttpEncoder.HtmlEncode(String value) 
at System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlContainerControl.set_InnerText(String value) 
at Results.DefineCheckboxFilter(String filterName, String param, Boolean createHidden) in d:\HostingData\chani.poz\macher.co.il\wwwroot\App_Code\Results.cs:line 79 
at Controls_NadlanFilter.InitialFilter() in d:\HostingData\chani.poz\macher.co.il\wwwroot\Controls\NadlanFilter.ascx.cs:line 50

at System.Web.UI.Control.LoadRecursive() at System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestMain(Boolean includeStagesBeforeAsyncPoint, Boolean includeStagesAfterAsyncPoint)System.Web Exception of type 'System.Web.HttpUnhandledException' was thrown.

The DefineCheckboxFilter function is in Results class. in the function line 79 (The line that threw the exception)

HtmlGenericControl ht = (HtmlGenericControl)ls.FindControl("HasterGale" + filterName);
ht.InnerText = "הסתר";

p.s. The problem occurs even if I don't in this page, and then I get the same webutility exception with other details. For example:

Solution

  • I found the answer at last:
    The problem was because I have a website that define like webSite in visual studio (not webPage or something like that). and so I need to define in the server not Intagrate PipeLine. That all.
