Global.asax parse error after minor change and revert to previous version


Cleaning the solution and deleting the assemblies made no difference to subsequent builds. My solution was to just change the output path in project settings for the web app to Bin (rather than bin/x86/Debug).

Source:-"Could not load type [Namespace].Global" causing me grief


we had a similar issue here.

and what we did was just to close the IDE. and open it again, and then build, then run.

pretty frustrating and confusing.


Regular ASP.NET Web Application has 2 files in solution folder:

  1. Global.asax
  2. Global.asax.cs

Make sure that class in Global.asax.cs:

namespace YourWebAppNamespace{  public class MvcApplication : HttpApplication  {     ...

Has the same/right name in Global.asax:

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

I got an issue with this when I manually changed class name in Global.asax.cs file, so as for result I had the same error as you and from my perspective, it should be more informative. I know that this question already was answered, but maybe my case can be helpful for someone.
