Global.asax cannot find code class

Question

I keep getting this error when I try to run the web application I have inherited. It was written in 2010 for C # 3.5 and uses Mvc 2. I installed the necessary libraries, but I get this error.

Error 1 Failed to load type 'AdminConsole.MvcApplication. C: \ path \ to \ my \ app \ Global.asax 1

Global.asax.cs looks like this:

using System.Web.Mvc;
using System.Web.Routing;

namespace AdminConsole
{
    // Note: For instructions on enabling IIS6 or IIS7 classic mode, 
    // visit http://go.microsoft.com/?LinkId=9394801

    public class MvcApplication : System.Web.HttpApplication
    {
        public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
        {
            routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");

            routes.MapRoute(
                "Default", // Route name
                "{controller}.aspx/{action}/{id}", // URL with parameters
                new { controller = "Entitlement", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional } // Parameter defaults
            );

        }

        protected void Application_Start()
        {
            AreaRegistration.RegisterAllAreas();

            RegisterRoutes(RouteTable.Routes);
        }
    }
}

And Global.asax looks like this: <%@ Application Inherits="AdminConsole.MvcApplication" Language="C#" %>

Answer 1

Add Codebehind="Global.asax.cs"to file Markup(Global.asax):

From:

<%@ Application Inherits="AdminConsole.MvcApplication" Language="C#" %>

To:

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

Answer 2

Make sure the project is configured to host your DLLs in a folder /bin, and not in /bin/x86/Debug/(or similar).
