asp.Net 2005 "Could not load type"
- by Melody Friedenthal
Although I have seen dozens of forum questions relating to "Could not load type", none of the advice in them seemed to apply to my situation.
I wrote a new web application using aspx.net VB 2005. It is tiny, with just 2 pages, 1 of which has no code-behind. It runs aok in the IDE but when I installed it on my pc (and also when installed on the production server), and tried to run it this error came up:
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 'EMTTrainingDatabase.pageMain'.
Source Error:
Line 1: <%@ Page Language="vb" AutoEventWireup="false" CodeBehind="pageMain.aspx.vb" Inherits="EMTTrainingDatabase.pageMain" %>

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version Information: Microsoft .NET Framework Version:2.0.50727.3603; ASP.NET Version:2.0.50727.3082
I checked the web site properties in IIS and the correct ASP.net version is specified: 2.0.50727.
I checked the virtual path and it looks correct too: /EMTTrainingDatabase
pageMain source code header looks like:
<%@ Page Language="vb" AutoEventWireup="false" CodeBehind="pageMain.aspx.vb" Inherits="EMTTrainingDatabase.pageMain" %>
Some posters suggest that the bin is in the wrong folder or the bin doesn't contain the rigt contents. I don't have enough knowledge to evaulate this.
Can someone help?
Thank you.
