How to import a VS MasterPage in Ektron

I recently installed a new site in Ektron. It created all the folders and files necessary to have it working. I created a custom MasterPage in VS 2012 with own folders and CSS/Script files and looking to import it into Ektron to use.

I imported from Workarea > Settings > Template and import template.

When I click on View for the template, I am seeing the following error:

Parser Error Message: Could not load type 'WMED.Site'.

Source Error: 



Line 1:  <%@ Master Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="Site.master.cs" Inherits="WMED.Site" %>
Line 2:  
Line 3:  


 Source File:  /Site.Master    Line:  1

How do I resolve the error

:: Should I remove the inherit and namespace from the MP for it to work?

Solution

You're probably using a Web Application project opposed to a Web Site. Because of this, the code for your MasterPages, ASPX templates, wireframes...etc. is compiled into a DLL (or DLLs) when you build the project.

When you deploy your Web Application project to your Ektron site, in additional to the files you've already pushed out, you have to copy your project's DLLs into the bin directory of the site. Your project will have a bin directory after building where you can find these, just look in File Explorer to find it if you don't see it.

/bin/WMED.dll

Also, if this is the case, do not push your .cs files to the server.
