I am attempting to deploy a change to a legacy ASP.NET solution. I have copied over the views and css files, but when I try to copy over a modified assembly, I get this error when the application runs:
Compiler Error Message: BC30456: 'InitializeCulture' is not a member of 'ASP.dashboard_aspx'.
I understand that the site may need to recompile itself, but it is complaining about a view I haven't changed. It is also griping about missing member InitializeCulture which I can't even find a reference for in my code.
The site works fine in debug and when deployed locally BTW.
Any ideas?
In the end I lost patience with trying to deploy what I thought had changed and simply published the website to a directory and then copied that over en masse.
Clearly there is some code or linkage somewhere that I had overlooked but the error message is a complete red herring.

I am getting ASPNETCOMPILERERROR while publishing a web project.
This project is in .net 4.0 and we are publishing in VS2012.
Build is getting succeeded, but while publishing we are getting following error
ASPNETCOMPILERERROR - object reference not set to an instance of object.
Please let us know how to resolve the issue.
I am able to solve the issue.
One of the dll causing reference issue, but build is getting succeed.
Solved by following these steps
Checked in the temporary folder(C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\Temporary ASP.NET Files) where VS Creates dlls for each page( i have opted for individual assemblies while publishing)
Before creating dlls, it generates .Compiled files and then converts each file to a dll.
we found one of the page is not getting converted to dll, instead it created a file with .delete extension and halted.
Now we ran our application from VS and tried open the page which is not able getting converted to dll.
Now we got the issue as an exception.
Hope this will help some one else.
I am sorry if this is not really a coding question (it depends on if its my code causing the problem I suppose).
I have seen this question: Tracking down intermittent 'Object reference not set to an instance of an object.' error on build
However, it has not been of much help (although if you read the comments, you will see that I thought it did help for a while there).
When I try publish my website, occasionally, I will get an error with no file or line reference:
Pre-compiling Web Site
Building directory '/App_Code/'.
Building directory '/'.: Publication (web): Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
Pre-compilation Complete
------ Skipped Publish: Project X:\, Configuration: Debug Any CPU ------
I know the usual causes of "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" but this seems a bit different, isn't it supposed to be a runtime error? Not a build error?
What is weird is that it happens, seemingly at random (about 25%-33% of the time). I can try to publish it and have it fail. Then try again straight after, without changing anything and it works fine.
I started getting this error after moving some of my functions (VB.net btw) to a new file in the App_Code folder so they can be accessed by all pages of the site.
If you need any more info, please let me know.
Thanks,
EDIT: After further investigation, it seems to only happen if I try to publish the website within a few seconds of saving changes to any file within it. What could cause this?
The same error occurred for me to, I deleted the dlls of the custom controls in the web site that are already in the bin, then i published the web site, and succeeded
IF you have any custom/usercontrols in your project, they are actually running at design time and can give object ref errors. This can occur during builds too. In that case, a property is being referenced that is NOTHING and throws the error.
I had a similar problem with a Windows Form project.
Wherever I try to move a custom control on the windows form, and then try to save the form, VS2010 comes back with "Object not set to an instance of an object".
I suspected the error was deep down in the layers of abstraction in my inherited code, but couldn't work out how deep to go, without reviewing every line of code.
My solution to this problem is this.
Open up another instance of Visual Studio 2010
Menu: Debug | Attach to Process..
Search for "devenv.exe xxx YourApplicationName..." and select it
Click "Attach"
Menu: Debug | Exceptions..
Tick all the boxes in the thrown column, then "OK"
Your second instance of VS2010 is not debugging your first instance, including all the custom controls.
Return to the first instance of VS2010, and repeat the actions that caused the error in the first place, the second instance of VS2010 will break at the line of code that has the error.
You may want to look at this link there is a bug in vs2012
https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/749901/error-when-i-click-publish-object-reference-not-set-to-an-instance-of-an-object
This started as Could not load type 'Global' error. After I tried a few things and getting no where I deleted the Global.asax file and now the error is Could not load type '[namespace].???'
Where ??? is the class name of every page I try to load
The web site (when executed within VS2008, local dev computer) works fine but once published (with no errors) and deployed to the server gives me Could not load type '[namespace].???' error
I did install elmah and I was able to get more details for this "generic" Could not load type '[namespace].???' error
elmah reports a HTTP error 500 :
System.Web.HttpException Could not load type '[namespace].???' ->
System.Web.HttpParseException: Could not load type '[namespace].???'
Any ideas?
I have checked the "basics"
References
Doing a clean and a build
Checking the Inherits attr in the HTML against the code behind
UPDATE #1
I did deploy the site to a different DEV computer (configured IIS, virtual folder, etc.) and it works. When I use the same published code on the server, get the generic Could not load type '[namespace].???' error
UPDATE #2
I created a test web app. One form (Default.aspx) with a button. The click event does a Response.Write("Hello World"); I moved this app to the server and guess what, I get the Could not load type TestSite._Default
UPDATE #3
According to the fusion log viewer, these two websites are attempting to load CppCodeProvider and VJSharpCodeProvider, but I have no references to any of these. After a Google search, I found this post
I checked and I have no references to JAVA files. Still don't know what the problem is
Strangely enough, sometimes we get this error when the disk is full.
Make sure the project file is uploaded to the build server along with the added files. VS will add lines to this file that points to the new files location.
<Content Include="xxx.aspx" />
<Compile Include="xxx.aspx.cs">
<DependentUpon>xxx.aspx</DependentUpon>
<SubType>ASPXCodeBehind</SubType>
</Compile>
Without the updated project file it will not find the code behind.
Really weird, maybe you should try to test it in a different server, this happens for example when you are using in you dev environment some namespaces from .NET 4.5 and you haven't installed the same framework in your server, so maybe the error is related to this behavior, if you are not using any third dll in your web application outside Microsoft's framework, so should try to reinstall the framework, I don't think the problem is related to visual studio.
I have created a new VS2008 ASP.Net Web service project, with the default name WebService1. If I right click on the Service1.asmx file and select 'View in Browser' what are the processes that go on to make this happen? I am asking because I have a situation where when I run this from a visual studio project started in our development shell (which sets up a common build environment) I cannot get the web service to show up in the browser.
It starts the asp.net development server and creates a single file:
C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\Temporary ASP.NET Files\root\c43ddc22\268ae91b\hash\hash.web
but when I start it from a stand alone project i get a whole slew of files in here:
C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\Temporary ASP.NET Files\root\edad4eee\d198cf0e\App_Web_defaultwsdlhelpgenerator.aspx.cdcab7d2.vicgkf94.dll
C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\Temporary ASP.NET Files\root\edad4eee\d198cf0e\service1.asmx.cdcab7d2.compiled
etc etc
I am trying to debug this but not really getting anywhere. i have inspected the output from VS but the only option I get is for the build output, which is basic and doesn't really contain any information that is useful. I have tried running both versions with DebugView running but no output there either.
I would like to know if there are any log files I could look at, or if anyone has any suggestions on how I might be able to debug what is going wrong here?
For completeness the output I get when it doesn't work is:
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 create type 'WebService1.Service1'.
Source Error:
Line 1:
Source File: /Service1.asmx Line: 1
Version Information: Microsoft .NET Framework Version:2.0.50727.3603; ASP.NET Version:2.0.50727.3082
Ok, not sure that its perfect but I found a resolution to this issue. the problems seems to be that the development shell redirects the <OutputPath> of the projects visual studio is building, and this was causing problems as, although the dependencies of the web service project were being copied into the $(ProjectDir)Bin\ directory, the actual webservice dll itself was not. The solution (workaround?) seems to be to add this to the post build event command line:
xcopy /y "$(TargetPath)" "$(ProjectDir)Bin\"
Then i am able to right click on the .asmx file and select view in browser and everything works as expected.
Hope this might help someone else in the future. or maybe even me in another place and time.
Pre-Problem: our office was hit by a worm due to a corporate patching oversight, and the boys in the lab repaved my machine. I needed to re-install all my development tools (Visual Studio 2005, SP1, and the Web Application Project Setup patch) again. The following problem did not occur before this event.
I've been working on an ASP.NET web application project for several months now. I've been editing, debugging, etc without a problem. Then, I added a single line of code, ran it in Debug and got this error:
System.Web.HttpUnhandledException:
Exception of type 'System.Web.HttpUnhandledException'
was thrown.
System.IO.FileLoadException: The given assembly name
or codebase was invalid. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131047)
I uncommented the new code, built the project and ran in debug again, but got the same error.
New Code:
Me.frm.btnSubmitChanges.Attributes.Add("onclick", "javascript:return validateSubmit();")
The only way I've been able to fix this is to Clean, then Rebuild the project. I haven't been able to trap where it's happening using breakpoints.
It's happened a couple times in the last few days. What should I be looking at to fix this?
Thank you!
Have you tried to enable Fusion Logger to see if it's an assembly that is failing to load? In C# you can tell the debugger to break at any exception (There's a command you can add by customizing the tool bar called Exceptions). I'm not sure if VB has this but I would assume they do. Can you tell it break on FileLoadException and that might help you understand what's going on.
The line of code you added is pretty innocuous. When you add the code it breaks, have you then done a clean build with that line of code still in and does it work or not?
I did run the Fusion Logger, but did not get any results when the exception occurred. I tried all 4 settings.
The new line of code runs fine after a clean/rebuild.
I haven't used the break on all exceptions before; I'll see if I can find it.
