directory as application in IIS gives Could not load type

[Thomas D.]

Hello,

Where to start? Well, I was creating a little back office for a website. That website is in fact a virtual directory in an existing website. So, I have this:

-- WEBSITE1
|---- [Some Files & Directories]
|---- WEBSITE2 (Virtual Directory -- dirname: "koea")
|------ [Some Files & Directories]
|------ BackOffice

When the development of the back office was about finished, I wanted to add FormsAuthentication via web.config. Therefore I needed to set the "BackOffice" directory as an application in IIS.

From that moment I get this error when trying to reach the back office:

Server Error in /koea/BackOffice Application.

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 LS.Ebrug.Web.BackOffice.Login.
The error goes away when I make "backoffice" a regular directory again, but then I can't use FormsAuthentication anymore.

I have tried to rebuild the entire solution, but that didn't work out. Does someone has an idea how to solve this issue? Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks in advance,
Thomas

Hi Thomas,

can you tell me the following:-

where have you configured the web.config file i mean in which directory?

have you made the BackOffice as a sub-virtual directory to the main website

and finally does your BackOffice have a login.aspx?

write back to be able to find some solution.

thanks.
