When I launch my website from IIS, I get this error:
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 load type 'MonitoringToolUI.Global'.
Source Error:
Line 1: <%@ Application Codebehind="Global.asax.cs" Inherits="MonitoringToolUI.Global" Language="C#" %>
Source File: /global.asax Line: 1
I found duplicates of this issue, several actually - Parser Error Message: Could not load type 'TestMvcApplication.MvcApplication', "Parser Error Message: Could not load type" in Global.asax but none of the solutions given seem to be working for me. The solution which worked for most of them is that they cleaned/rebuilt the solution and it worked. In my case it is an installed website, using a MSI to create the web application in my IIS. I have tried rebuilding my application and reinstalling it, the same issue persists. However this application launches if I run it otherwise so guessing it is an installer issue.
I am using VS2012 and was forced to use InstallShield to deploy my web application. I followed a tutorial(http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/UploadFile/cb88b2/simple-steps-to-create-setup-of-website-using-install-shield/) and was able to create my installer. It creates a virtual directory, the content files/project output are copied correctly.
I've checked the .net version, platforms, rebuilt the solution several times. Am not sure what to try next, any suggestions would be helpful.
Note: One of the things I tried, I removed the "inherit" part from the global.asax file and then a similar error was thrown from one of the aspx files. Instead of gloabal, it was a different file name.
Thank you!
