.net - Parser Error Message: Could not load type 'TestMvcApplication.MvcApplication'

Question

I am getting the following error on one of our production servers. Not sure why it is working on the DEV server?

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 'TestMvcApplication.MvcApplication'.

Source Error:

Line 1: <%@ Application Codebehind="Global.asax.cs" Inherits="TestMvcApplication.MvcApplication" Language="C#" %>

Source File: /global.asax Line: 1

Not sure if anybody came across this error before and how it was solved, but I have reached the end. Any help would be appreciated.

I also need to mention that this is the published code, so all is compiled. Can there be something wrong with my compiler settings?

None of the other answers worked for me. I fixed my error by changing the web project's output path. I had had it set to bindebug but the web project doesn't work unless the output path is set to simply "bin"
