Extending Umbraco

Hi Everyone

I'm wondering if anyone could help with my problem.

I have developed a website with no problems on web matrix using a compact database originally. I decided to publish this site onto my hosting provider to test the server and make sure everything was running ok there as everything was running perfect on my local server. Anyway since i have done this i have been faced with continuous errors and i have no idea now where i am at.

at present I have this error:

Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

on a seperate note {i did this after all of the errors were displaying so i know its not the primary cause} my hosting provider doesn't support compact databases which is fine so i migrated it in webmatrix and need to convert it to a mysql and ftp it to my server for them to redirect it to that, when i did this it automatically changed my local server web.config to the new connection string but it was still trying to access the old CE database.

Below is my web.config to see if there is anything in there that shouldn't be. I atleast thought that the site on my local server would still run regardless of it being published.
