Error: «Could not load type MvcApplication»

Question

I am getting the error

Could not load type MvcApplication

when I try to run my website.

How to correct it?

Answer 1

I was getting the same error and inspite of doing everything mentioned here and elsewhere nothing worked. Turned out that I had copied the source code of global.asax.cs from a previous version of the project which had a different name. So the namespace Test should have been namespace Test.WebUI. A silly mistake of course and am a bit embarrassed to write this! But writing in the hope that a similar error from anyone else may lead him to check this trivial aspect as well.
