Could not create type for webservice.asmx

Question

I have a web service and it uses some other projects dll files. Everything is ok when it runs on my lochal server. But when I deploy to server, I have this error.

Server Error in '/' Application.

Parser Error

Description: An error occurred during the parsing of a resource required to service this request. Please review the following specific parse error details and modify your source file appropriately.

Parser Error Message: Could not create type 'Dos.Service.Web.WS.DosMainWebService'.

Source Error:

Line 1: <%@ WebService Language="C#" CodeBehind="DosMainWebService.asmx.cs" Class="Dos.Service.Web.WS.DosMainWebService" %>

Source File: /ws/WS/DosMainWebService.asmx Line: 1

Version Information: Microsoft .NET Framework Version:4.0.30319; ASP.NET Version:4.0.30319.272

Have you copied all the files? Looks to me like you are missing the .cs — ChrisBint, Jul 05 '12 at 15:22
Does the `DosMainWebService.asmx.cs` code behind file exist in the correct location on the server? Does it define a class called `DosMainWebService`, and is that class defined ion the `Dos.Service.Web.WS` namespace? — Steven Doggart, Jul 05 '12 at 15:24
ASMX is a legacy technology, and should not be used for new development. WCF or ASP.NET Web API should be used for all new development of web service clients and servers. One hint: Microsoft has retired the [ASMX Forum](http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/asmxandxml/threads) on MSDN. — John Saunders, Dec 20 '13 at 06:53

I had the same error...

I solved it by changing the properties of my Xzy.asmx file:

Set Build Action to Content
Set Copy to Output Directory to Copy if newer (in my case it was set to "Do not copy")

I hope this helps anyone...

Please make sure you deploy the WebService bin folder to the server. I believe it is missing your webservice dlls.

I checked my bin folder and it is deployed to server. – cagin Jul 05 '12 at 15:53
Might be some assembly missing. Use FusionLog to identify the missing ones. Please use this link on using FusionLog – Cinchoo Jul 05 '12 at 19:40

I believe you have one solution file with webservice and other class libraries and the webservice app consumes the dll from these class libraries. I can see one problem is probably you're using project type as website for webservice which creates problem while resolving type issue for webservice namespace. so the solution would be create a new solution as web application project type and then add the project libraries and it should resolve your issue.

after testing many suggested solutions on the web all the issue was:

every time I was publishing only web service.asmx file

but after republish all the solution it works..because webservice.asmx has its own dll files
