FIX: You may receive an InvalidCastException error in an ASP.NET-connected Web application
SYMPTOMS
You may receive an InvalidCastException error in a Microsoft
ASP.NET-connected Web application when the following conditions are true:
- The Web application uses a master page, a user control, or
pages that reference each other.
- The master page, the user control, or the pages are batch
compiled into a single assembly.
- One of the batched dependencies is changed and causes a
recompilation.
- A dynamic call to load a reference is made, such as a call
to the LoadControl method.
In this case, you may receive an error message that resembles the following:
Unable to cast object of type 'ASP.type'
to type 'ASP.type'.
In this error message,
type is a placeholder for one of the batch compiled
types.
You may also receive an error message that resembles the following:
Could not load file or assembly 'App_Web_xxxxxxxx, Version=0.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
