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

Check code behind information, provided in global.asax. They should correctly point to the class in its code behind.

sample global.asax:

<%@ Application Codebehind="Global.asax.cs" Inherits="MyApplicationNamespace.MyMvcApplication" Language="C#" %>

sample code behind:

   namespace MyApplicationNamespace
    {
        public class MyMvcApplication : System.Web.HttpApplication
        {
            protected void Application_Start( )
            {
                AreaRegistration.RegisterAllAreas( );
                FilterConfig.RegisterGlobalFilters( GlobalFilters.Filters );
                RouteConfig.RegisterRoutes( RouteTable.Routes );
                BundleConfig.RegisterBundles( BundleTable.Bundles );
            }
        }
    }
