If i where to block a web page, say 404Error.aspx, in robots,txt (i see no reason for this page to be indexed by google). However, do i still include this page in the xml sitemap or not?

Edit:

If i wanted my page to be indexed (google follows the links in it), but not show up in search results, should i remove robots.txt and use the robots meta tag with "noindex" ?

If you want to stop Google and the other Search Engines to have in their index this page, I see no reason to have the link in the sitemap too. You should have the link only in your robots.txt
