I like the new Add View dialog that was released with RC1. If you specify a view data class, it generates a scaffolded view for you. It seems to work fine with classes defined in projects within my solution. Some of my domain classes inherit from a base class that is defined in an external assembly (and referenced in my web project). I get an error when I specify one of these domain classes. Visual Studio is reporting a TypeLoadException on the external base class.

I did a little debugging with ProcMon and found that it was looking for the base class DLL in, among other places, a temporary folder. That folder did contain the DLL containing my derived domain model class. I did not see the base class's DLL. So for fun, I copied it there and voila, I could add the view.

Is this a bug?

  • Same here. Will u pls post the work-around here? Commented Feb 16, 2009 at 9:38
  • The work around I found was to put the external assembly in the temporary folder that ASP.NET is using while processing the dialog box. The way I found the temporary folder was to run the SysInternals Procmon utility to display the folders that are searched to find the assembly. Commented Feb 17, 2009 at 22:44

Thanks. I see it has already been reported. Thanks. I was going to post my work-around, but I'm having problems logging in.

you actually forgot to add the Web.Config file on the View Folder. See this small article : http://www.graytechnology.com/Blog/post/ASPNET-MVC-strongly-typed-view-error-Could-not-load-type.aspx

It got me scratching my head quite a bit as well in my current project! :)
