Web service Parser Error Message: Could not create type 'xxx'


I am getting a parser error when i try to browse my web service.

Already found so many answers, but none helped me. If anybody can guide me to a helpful link that i might have overlooked, it will be of great help.

Here is the scenario :

I have web service built in VS-2010 (framework 4.0) hosted on IIS 7.5 which uses "ASP.NET v4.0 Classic" app pool. This used to work fine until i reinstalled it. It started showing the Error below


Parser Error

Please Help.


Solution

  • Please check whether all your dll's are present in the web service folder. i was able to find this with the help of a tool called "Beyond Compare". where i compared older working copy of Web service directory to the new one.
