I have just deployed a new MVC3 application, and after some efforts on my hosting provider's side, MVC3 seems to be running OK, but now I get the following compilation error before anything on the site loads:
CS0246: The type or namespace name 'Telerik' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
This occurs in web.config on the following line:
<add namespace="Telerik.Web.Mvc.UI" />
I know the DLL is present in the bin folder on the host, so I'm a bit lost as to what else could be wrong.
If you are using Razor this line:
<add namespace="Telerik.Web.Mvc.UI" />
must occur in ~/Views/web.config and not in ~/web.config. Could this be your case?
Like this:
<system.web.webPages.razor>
<host factoryType="System.Web.Mvc.MvcWebRazorHostFactory, System.Web.Mvc, Version=3.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" />
<pages pageBaseType="System.Web.Mvc.WebViewPage">
<namespaces>
<add namespace="System.Web.Mvc" />
<add namespace="System.Web.Mvc.Ajax" />
<add namespace="System.Web.Mvc.Html" />
<add namespace="System.Web.Routing" />
<add namespace="Telerik.Web.Mvc.UI" />
</namespaces>
</pages>
</system.web.webPages.razor>

Read the reply by Mike Kidder. Sorry for linking another forum, I know that's annoying but I'd rather give credit where due.
Two big takeaways when converting to Razor syntax:
1) Use #( .... ) when outputting html, not #{ .... ;}
- wrap the code for Telerik controls in parentheses, not brackets
- using brackets, you're essentially telling Razor to execute a method. You won't get any output
2) Remove the ".Render()" method for any Telerik controls. Not used in Razor.
You have to set Copy Local to true for the assemblies you have referenced. In your case expand References, select the assembly, press F4 to open the properties and set Copy Local to true. The assembly most probably is installed in the GAC so when you add a reference to it by default Copy Local is false.
it might be in the bin folder but, since you didn't mention this, did you actually add reference to the file in the project? after adding the reference to the dll, it should build correctly

I get a MvcWebRazorHostFactory error trying to run my app, but it's not an MVC app at all. I have the following web packages installed via nuget:
Microsoft ASP.NET Razor
Microsoft ASP.NET Web API 2.1
Microsoft ASP.NET Web Pages
My app is angularjs front end using razor views (.cshtml). I don't understand why I keep getting this error.
An exception of type 'System.InvalidOperationException' occurred in System.Web.WebPages.Razor.dll but was not handled in user code
Additional information: Could not locate Razor Host Factory type: System.Web.Mvc.MvcWebRazorHostFactory, System.Web.Mvc, Version=5.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35
And here is the razor section in my web.config:
<system.web.webPages.razor>
<host factoryType="System.Web.WebPages.Razor.WebRazorHostFactory, System.Web.WebPages.Razor, Version=3.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" />
<pages pageBaseType="System.Web.WebPages.WebPage">
<namespaces>
<add namespace="System.Web.Configuration" />
<add namespace="System.Web.Optimization" />
<add namespace="System.Web.Routing" />
</namespaces>
</pages>
I resolved this issue by setting System.Web.Mvc.MvcWebRazorHostFactory, System.Web.Mvc Version to 5.2.0.0 and it worked, finally! Why 5.2.0.0? Same version as NuGet Microsoft ASP.NET project.
So, the line in /Views/Web.Config should be:
<host factoryType="System.Web.Mvc.MvcWebRazorHostFactory, System.Web.Mvc, Version=5.2.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" />
For the benefit of anyone developing ASP.NET MVC 5 web apps using Xamarin Studio v5.5.3 on OSX, deleting the /Views/Web.config did not work for me and created other errors.
To fix it, open /Views/Web.config and change all instances of 5.2.0.0 to 5.2.2.0
More details here
Several of the answers point in the right direction, but I was not sure where in the Microsoft Visual Studio for Mac interface I could find the appropriate version number to use for the version part of the factoryType attribute.
For the benefit of other VS for Mac users, the answer is to simply right-click on the Microsoft.AspNet.Mvc package in the Packages list in the solution explorer.
In my case, the package version was "5.2.6" after a package update, so I set the version part of the factoryType attribute to Version=5.2.6.0. This solved the problem.
Changed the version of MvcWebRazorHostFactory to the same version of System.Web.Mvc which resolved my issue.
So apparently some package I got from nuget adds a web.config to the Views folder. In this web.config there were settings for the MvcWebRazorHostFactory. I think this occurred when I added a View to my project using the dialog box.
The solution is to remove the web.config from the Views folder.
I started getting this error in my Razor .cshtml pages in an MVC project following some NuGet package management / upgrading.
I didn't want to remove the Web.config file completely from the Views folder because I had customised it width some <add namespace="..." /> elements. But I noticed that the Version=... in the <host factoryType="..." /> didn't match my version of System.Web.Mvc (checked version in Object Browser).
Altering this version number to match that of my System.Web.Mvc assembly, and restarting Visual Studio, fixed the problem for me (as suggested by Daniel)
This happened to me today. I just made sure the version number for the web.config in the views folder matches the version number for the web.config of the solution.
Hope this helps.
For MacBook users having the Visual Studio 2019, you simply go to the Web.config file and update version of the System.Web.Mvc to that which is in your Nuget packages folder.
Inside your Web project, open "References" tree node.
Look for "Assemblies" folder and open it.
Look for System.Web.Mvc, right click on it, and select "Properties"
A dialog will prompt, read carefully the package full name field and look for the version number. For example, I have this one:
System.Web.Mvc, Version=5.2.7.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35
So, in the Web.config (inside Views folder) replace the version number!
In my case, it originally was:
<host factoryType="System.Web.Mvc.MvcWebRazorHostFactory, System.Web.Mvc, Version=5.2.2.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" />
Now I have (look at the Version value):
<host factoryType="System.Web.Mvc.MvcWebRazorHostFactory, System.Web.Mvc, Version=5.2.7.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" />
Hope it helps!
Today I had to re-create my web.config file, and have lost my previous code.
I have my database connection and roles working fine, however, my assemblies never seem to work... In my back-end code, I always get the error
The type or namespace name 'Insert Here' does not extist in the namespace 'Insert Here' (are you missing an assembly reference?)
My current config file's assembly section has been created by Visual Web Developer by using the Add Reference option:
<configuration>
<system.web>
<compilation>
<assemblies>
<add assembly="mscorlib"/>
<add assembly="System.Web.ApplicationServices, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35"/>

---rest of code here---
Just incase it means anything, the tutorials I followed when making my database Membership friendly directed my to the aspnet_regsql.exe in the C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727 directory, but the versions in my web.config are 4.0.0.0. Could this have something to do with it? Should I use the exe found in the v4.0.30319 folder?
If someone could please help me try to get this fixed... I really can't make any progress on my site anymore as all non-database stuff is done...
I figured there was something wrong with my web.config files, so I just made a new website, copied everything over from the original folder and it works.
I know it may not have been the best solution, but it took maybe 10 minutess, far less than the time I've already wasted.
I have a wcf service hosted in a website in IIS and I seem to have this issue.
In my web.config I have this:
<system.web>
<compilation>
<assemblies>
<add assembly="System.Core, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=B77A5C561934E089"/>
<add assembly="System.Data.Linq, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=B77A5C561934E089"/>

<add assembly="System, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=B77A5C561934E089"/></assemblies>
</compilation>
</system.web>
All projects in the solution target framework 4.0.
LE: I get the error when I try to import System.Linq;
using System.Linq;
Solution: It seems that the web config should be:
<system.web>
<compilation debug="true" targetFramework="4.0"/>
</system.web>
Do you have a code file in your site with either Imports System.Linq (VB) or using System.Linq; (c#)?
Seems like the simplest answer is that it is a typo. Maybe the namespace should be corrected to System.Data.Linq.
Edit:
System.Linq should be a valid namespace, as it "provides classes and interfaces that support queries that use Language-Integrated Query (LINQ)." (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.linq.aspx). It is also imported by default in the system-level web.config.
So, not sure what is happening here if it is not related to my suggestion above. Maybe something wrong in your machine.config or system-level web.config?
Edit 2:
I find it strange that you adding the System.Core assembly at this level. I believe this is the assembly that includes the System.Linq namespace. Maybe removing it would help?
Edit 3:
System.Linq is imported by default in the machine-level web.config. You can remove the line in your code file.
Sometimes it "disappears" just for the fun of it. If you don't need it just delete it.
Else right click your website in the solution explorer and add a reference to it.
I had no Linq methods on my Controller (Count, Where, toList, etc...). Adding the namespace:
using System.Linq;
fixed the problem for me. Maybe will help someone in the future...
I solved this problem by adding the System.Linq namespace to the namespaces in the Views\Shared\Web.config file, e.g, as below, 2nd from the bottom, above the WebApplication1 namespace.
Note, this is in the Web.config in the Views folder and is not the web site's main 'Web.config`.
<system.web.webPages.razor>
<host factoryType="System.Web.Mvc.MvcWebRazorHostFactory, System.Web.Mvc, Version=5.2.3.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" />
<pages pageBaseType="System.Web.Mvc.WebViewPage">
<namespaces>
<add namespace="System.Web.Mvc" />
<add namespace="System.Web.Mvc.Ajax" />
<add namespace="System.Web.Mvc.Html" />
<add namespace="System.Web.Optimization"/>
<add namespace="System.Web.Routing" />
<add namespace="System.Linq" />
<add namespace="WebApplication1" />
</namespaces>
</pages>
</system.web.webPages.razor>
Another thing to check is is your .csproj file, specifically these items:
<TargetFrameworkProfile>Profile47</TargetFrameworkProfile>
<TargetFrameworkVersion>v4.0</TargetFrameworkVersion>
If you don't have a folder for the Profile indicated, you might need to manually change it to one you do have. You might also be able to download the target from https://www.microsoft.com/net/download/visual-studio-sdks.
Unfortunately, my colleague had this happen with an old-style PCL project (profile-based PCL), so he wasn't able to go download the .NET Portable target, but I had to give him the DLLs out of my functioning folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework.NETPortable\v4.0\Profile\Profile47).
I had the same error but my web app was running on framework v2.0. Changed my application pool from v2.0 to v4.0. all working...happy days
the problem is you didn't add
debug="true|false" targetFramework="4.0"
in compilation tag.
The solution for me was to:
Go to: Tools > Nuget Package Manager > Manage NuGet Packages for Solution
Install the System.Linq package.
Deleting the hidden .vs folder and restarting Visual Studio fixed it for me.
I have and MVC3 project that once upon a time was an MVC2 project. I've been developing it using IIS express to test.
Now I deployed it to IIS proper on my machine, jiggled some web.config settings, and messed around for an hour getting the razor build provider to be registered, which must not be done right because the new project template doesn't include a line adding that build provider in the web.config.
At any rate, any time I go to a strongly-typed Razor view I get this:
Compiler Error Message: CS0103: The name 'model' does not exist in the current context
Source Error:
Line 1: #model Cairn.Cartography.Features.Peak
Any thoughts on what is going on, and how I might fix it without firebombing this box and looking around for my windows install cd? :)
I was missing:
<host factoryType="System.Web.Mvc.MvcWebRazorHostFactory, System.Web.Mvc, Version=3.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" />
in this part of my web.config file:
<system.web.webPages.razor>
<host factoryType="System.Web.Mvc.MvcWebRazorHostFactory, System.Web.Mvc, Version=3.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" />
<pages pageBaseType="System.Web.Mvc.WebViewPage">
<namespaces>
<add namespace="Cairn"/>
<add namespace="Cairn.UI.Web"/>
<add namespace="Cairn.UI.Web.Helpers"/>
</namespaces>
</pages>
</system.web.webPages.razor>
I haven't the foggiest what this means or why it matters, or why it is absent from the web.config generated for a brand new project, but it works.
? Oh well
yes.. reinstall asp.net MVC3 again
either get the MSI file from here: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=208140
or use Web Platform Installer from here: http://www.microsoft.com/web/gallery/install.aspx?appid=MVC3
I am having problems compiling an EPiServer Web Application after checking it out of Subversion.
I get this error
Compiler Error Message: CS1519: Invalid token ',' in class, struct, or interface member declaration
Source Error:

Line 117:

As you can see from the error, this file is in the "Temporary ASP.NET Files" folder and is part of the build process. This is not my source code.
I have seen this question which suggests that the web config contains type references
specified in the "Namespace.ClassName,
AssemblyName" format.
So I went into my web.config and changed the section
...
<profile ...>
<properties>
...
<add name="SubscriptionInfo"
type="EPiServer.Personalization.SubscriptionInfo, EPiServer"
provider="SqlProfile" />
...
to
...
<profile ...>
<properties>
...
<add name="SubscriptionInfo"
type="EPiServer.Personalization.SubscriptionInfo"
provider="SqlProfile" />
...
This removed the immediate error above but then I got the same error for a different type. So I went through all the types that were in "Namespace.TypeName, AssemblyName" format and removed the ", AssemblyName". This stopped all the CS1519 errors but then I start getting CS0234:
Compiler Error Message: CS0234: The

I am using VisualStudio 2008, Episerver 5.2.372.7, VisualSVN 1.7.2 and a Debian box as the Subversion repo running svn version 1.4.2 (r22196).
The application built fine, then I checked it in to the repo. Checked it out to a different location on the same computer and hit F5 and these errors start to appear.
Does anyone have any suggestions.
UPDATE:
Thanks for your replies devio, Zhaph.
I have added the following to my web.config in the <compilation> section:

</assemblies>
There was no <assemblies> section previously.
The project has all of those DLLs in its References. All the EPiServer DLLs are in the GAC.
The new (non-working) checkout is on the same machine that the original project was created on.
I now get :
Parser Error Message: Could not load

or one of its dependencies. The system
cannot find the file specified.
(C:\Projects\web\ProvidentPPC2\ProvidentPPC\web.config line 301)

As I say EPiServer.Scheduler is in my GAC and added to the project as a reference.
Any more ideas would be greately appreciated.
I encountered this problem as I was restructuring the dll references in a project.
I had moved the external/third part dlls from the bin folder to a library folder outside the web project root.
My problem was that some of the dll references did not have copy local set to true, so they were never copied to the bin folder on build.
It's been a while since I asked this and I keep looking thinking that I need to remember what the issue was and post the answer. I think this is it.
It turned out that there was an issue with application finding the DLLs that EPiServer installed. I'm not sure exactly and I'll update this post once I get chance to try it out on a clean machine, I'm still mid-project so it's not a very good time to be faffing about.
The way I fixed it was to get the DLLs from c:\Program Files\EPiServer\CMS\VERSION\bin and put them in the bin folder for the application.
Once I get chance to do a clean install somewhere I'll see if it is infact the project (which I doubt) or, more likely, the installation on my computer which is broken.
Have you tried referencing the EPiServer assembly correctly?
I assume that it's displaying ok in the project references node in the Solution Explorer, and hasn't got a yellow exclaim overlay on it?
Perhaps you could reference it in the web.config compilation section as well:
<compilation debug="false">
<assemblies>
[...]
<add assembly="Episerver, Version=5.2.372.7"/>
</assemblies>
</compilation>
You may either not need the version number, or you may need to add the version number and culture type - there should be a few other assemblies referenced in there already for reference.
You could also try:
<add assembly="EPiServer" />
and other variations.
Sounds like an Assembly Load issue then:
Check that the EPiServer DLL is accessable in your new location - is it installed to your computers Global Assembly Cache, or is it a local reference to the /bin folder? Is the dll in the bin folder? Is the dll included in source control?
I ran into this several times and done it for me is when I manually copied the EPiServer assemblies to the bin folder. That works for sure but it's not very elegant. Zhaph's solution with the assemblies tag looks much nicer I'll try it next time.
I just had a similar problem this afternoon. The problem was that the EpiServer dlls were not present in the bin directory of the website, so I got bind failures.
The project had been created by one of my colleagues and the relevant EpiServer dlls were added as solution items in a lib folder and referenced from there. However, as he had initially created it from the EpiServer project template, the libraries had automatically been added to the bin folder also. When he updated the references to point to the lib folder, copy local defaulted to false. This still worked on his machine due to the original copies placed in the bin folder by the template. Updating them to CopyLocal = True fixed the issue.
I just had this same problem, again with an EPiServer site. It was because I was referencing the EPiServer DLLs, but they did not have the "copy to local" property set to true on all the references, and so they were not all being placed in the bin directory.
Delete everything from BIN Folder and copy all the files from [ASSEMBLIES] in to BIN Folder fixed the problem for me.

I guess the original error message meant you had a malformed C# expression in
return ((EPiServer.Personalization.SubscriptionInfo, EPiServer)...
nothing to do with the config file.
Probably you typed "," instead of "." ? (As the compiler reads this, you provide 2 types in the cast)
Revert web.config to its original version and fix the typo, that should work.
update after Greg's comment:
I didn't realize the config section you posted were part of the EPIServer configuration. You were right then to remove the assembly names.
However I guess you need to reference the EPiServer from the web app (Add Reference...). I think I noticed this in my projects too: If you checkout an ASP.Net app to a new location, you need to add all references again.
