What does the web.config compilation/assemblies element do?

Question

I had a problem where, working on a new MVC project, as soon as I added Html.Partial(\"Name\") to my _Layout.cshtml page, ASP.NET would throw this

Answer 1

I ran into a similar situation.I had an MVC project with Unity. Project was targeting .Net version 4.5.1 but my build machine was missing the 4.5.1 folder in C:\Program Files (x86)\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework.NETFramework folder.

So what solved my problem was copying v4.5.1 folder from my dev machine to the build machine.
