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 already had bin/ in my build tab. I got global.asax from another copy of the project, but that didn't work out.

The solution that finally worked for me was to remove the bin/ folder and create a new empty folder with the same name.
