If not please create the same and compile the project. It will work for sure. –Shailesh Jul 27 '12 at 6:00 3 Yes I do have GodsCreationTaxidermy.Core.MvcApplication (Global.asax.cs) –PsychoCoder Jul 27 '12 at 6:05 The Global.asax file that seems to be used (according to the screen shot) looks different than the one you have shown. –Darin Dimitrov Jul 27 '12 at 6:11 check to see if the Inherits string is the same as the path to the class in your application (namespace + p

You may set the output path of you build in another folder outside your project, and when, for example, the project runs and searches for DLLs in the bin folder, it doesn't find them. –user1897631 Dec 12 '12 at 11:26 If that's because you change the default output directory, you can use this way:stackoverflow.com/a/26237022/1900498 –qakmak Oct 7 '14 at 13:23 y'all aren't going to believe this but this project in our solution wasn't selected in the Solution Configuration Manager to be built so there was no DLL being created in /bin ! Just make sure your project in question is selected to build in the Configuration Manager.... –jbwebtech Aug 4 '15 at 21:36 add a comment| 13 Answers 13 active oldest votes up vote 42 down vote accepted Right-click your Global.asax file and click View Markup. You will see the attribute Inherits="nadeem.MvcApplication". This means that your Global.asax file is trying to inherit from the type nadeem.MvcApplication. Now double click your Global.asax file and see what the class name specified in your Global.asax.cs file is. It should look something like this: namespace nadeem { public class MvcApplication: System.Web.HttpApplication { .... If

It has been in production for months without glitches until yesterday. I cleaned up the [Global.asax] file (removed unused using statements, refactored, etc.), ran the solution and got the following error: Description: asp.net parser error An error occurred during the parsing of a resource required to service this request. Please review the following specific parse error details and modify your source file appropriately. Parser Error Message: Could not load type 'CloudTech.ATS.WebClient.Global'. Source File: /global.asax Line: 1 Source Error: Line 1: <%@ Application CodeBehind="Global.asax.cs" Inherits="CloudTech.ATS.WebClient.Global" Language="C#" %> Here is the Global.asax Markup: <%@ Application CodeBehind="Global.asax.cs" Inherits="CloudTech.ATS.WebClient.Global" Language="C#" %> Here is the Global.asax.cs Code (with internal code removed): using System; using System.Linq; namespace CloudTech.ATS.WebClient { public class Global: System.Web.HttpApplication { } } After wrestling with this error for a while, I searched, restarted my computer, performed a full clean on the solution, force rebuilt but with no avail. Frustrated, I finally changed only the web application target to "Any CPU" and it worked. Unfortunately, "Any CPU" is not an option or a solution to the issue at hand. Changing it back to "x86" brings the same error back. This happened once and since then, no combination of target platform or debug/release configuration works anymore (same error). Furthermore: My development machines are all x64. Checked in the solution, had multiple colleagues test on their machines (both x86 and x64) with the same result. Restored the entire project to a clean state from 3 da
