Question

I am trying to upload an local perfectly running ASP.NET MVC3 Application to Windows Azure.

When I uploaded the Application to azure, it is shown as “Ready”. But if I call it, there appears the following Error:

No parameterless constructor defined for this object.

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. 

Exception Details: System.MissingMethodException: No parameterless constructor defined for this object.

Source Error: 

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.

Stack Trace:

Has somebody an idea, what the error could cause?
I am using for DI the Unity Application Block..

The error message states the following:

'DummyAnwendung.Controllers.AccountController'. Make sure that the controller has a parameterless public constructor

If you do not define a constructor for a class, a parameterless constructor will be created. However, if you define a constructor with parameters, no parameterless constructor will be created.

Define a parameterlass constructor for this class.
