asp.net mvc - MVC3 Deployment Dependency Problems

Question

I've just tried deploying an MVC3 application to our IIS7 hosting environment but I'm being presented wtih the following exception:

Could not load type 'Microsoft.Web.Infrastructure.DynamicModuleHelper.DynamicModuleUtility' from assembly 'Microsoft.Web.Infrastructure, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35'. Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

Exception Details: System.TypeLoadException: Could not load type 'Microsoft.Web.Infrastructure.DynamicModuleHelper.DynamicModuleUtility' from assembly 'Microsoft.Web.Infrastructure, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35'.

Any suggestions?

The app isn't being bin deployed as I have installed ASP.Net Web pages and MVC3 on the web server itself.

Answer 1

This is because Microsoft.Web.Infrastructure is not in your GAC. You need to add this reference to your project. Right click the reference and go to properties then set copy to local to true.
