Hosting ASP.NET MVC on IIS7 and “Could Not Load Type” error
- If you want to host ASP.NET MVC on IIS7 don’t forget to copy also MVC DLLs to bin directory when publishing.
- If you have ASP.NET 3.5 SP1 installed on server copy only System.Web.Mvc
- If you don’t have ASP.NET 3.5 SP1 installed on server copy
System.Web.Mvc
System.Web.Routing
System.Web.Abstractions
- You need to copy also web.config that is under directory where your Views are – it is not included in your project by default so it will not be published. Copy this manually or include this web.config in your project and then Publish.
