POPublishing Website fails for some pages
text
Body
copied!<p>I have a strange problem when I publish my website. I inherited this project and the problem started before I arrived so I don't know what conditions lead to the creation of the problem.</p> <p>Basically, 3 folders below the website project fail to publish properly. When the PrecompiledWeb is transferred to the host these three folders have to be manually copied from the Visual Studio project (i.e. they are no longer the published versions) to the host for it to work.</p> <p>If the results of the publish operation are left, any page in the folder results in the following error:</p> <blockquote> <p>Server Error in '/' Application. Unable to cast object of type 'System.Web.Compilation.BuildResultNoCompilePage' to type 'System.Web.Compilation.BuildResultCompiledType'. Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.</p> <p>Exception Details: System.InvalidCastException: Unable to cast object of type 'System.Web.Compilation.BuildResultNoCompilePage' to type 'System.Web.Compilation.BuildResultCompiledType'.</p> <p>Source Error:</p> <p>An unhandled exception was generated during the execution of the current web request. Information regarding the origin and location of the exception can be identified using the exception stack trace below.</p> <p>Stack Trace:</p> <p>[InvalidCastException: Unable to cast object of type 'System.Web.Compilation.BuildResultNoCompilePage' to type 'System.Web.Compilation.BuildResultCompiledType'.] System.Web.UI.PageParser.GetCompiledPageInstance(VirtualPath virtualPath, String inputFile, HttpContext context) +254<br> System.Web.UI.PageParser.GetCompiledPageInstance(String virtualPath, String inputFile, HttpContext context) +171<br> URLRewrite.URLRewriter.ProcessRequest(HttpContext context) +2183<br> System.Web.CallHandlerExecutionStep.System.Web.HttpApplication.IExecutionStep.Execute() +405 System.Web.HttpApplication.ExecuteStep(IExecutionStep step, Boolean& completedSynchronously) +65</p> <p>Version Information: Microsoft .NET Framework Version:2.0.50727.832; ASP.NET Version:2.0.50727.832</p> </blockquote> <p>Does anyone have any idea what the possible causes of these pages not publishing correctly could be? Anything I can look at that may indicate the root of the problem?</p> <p><strong>Addition:</strong> It is a completely clean build each time, so there shouldn't be a problem with old bin files lying around. I've also checked the datestamp on the items in the bin folder and they are up-to-date.</p> <p><strong>Second Addition:</strong> The project was originally created as a <em>Web Site</em>, not a Web Application. Sorry for the ambiguity.</p>
