Everything worked yesterday without any errors. Today though, I created a new page and tried to load it, which returned an error. so I went and rebuilt the solution, and now I have this error on every page on my site.
error description:
Server Error in '/' Application.
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 'xxxx.Global'.
Source Error:
Line 1: <%@ Application Codebehind="Global.asax.cs" Inherits="xxxx.Global" Language="C#" %>
Source File: /global.asax Line: 1
I tried to look up the error, but the solutions I managed to find didn't solve the problem, I would love some help as I am truly lost about what had caused this.
EDIT: so I tried deleting the Global.asax file and running the site, which caused the first line in all my pages to return an error messege. still trying to find a solution.
Managed to solve it, Here's what finally worked for me -
first, in the first line of your aspx pages, Masterpage.Master and Global.asax you'll need to replace CodeBehind with CodeFile.
(in order to access your Global.asax code open it through the directory with a text editor).
after that, in your Global.asax.cs code, change public class Global : System.Web.HttpApplication to public partial class Global : System.Web.HttpApplication.
worth noting - this is a mishmash of a number of solutions that I found while googling, trying these separately first could also solve the bug.
