I have a new ASP.NET MVC project (my first), and I had been running fine with 1 controller, view, and model. After I added a new controller and view, my first view started throwing this error message when I try to run the project:

Description: An error occurred during the parsing of a resource required to service this request. Please review the following specific parse error details and modify your source file appropriately. 

Parser Error Message: 'PeopleManagement.Web.Views.Search.Search' is not allowed here because it does not extend class 'System.Web.UI.Page'.  Source Error:    Line 1:  <%@ Page Title='' Language='C#' MasterPageFile='~/Views/Shared/Master.Master' AutoEventWireup='true' CodeBehind='Search.aspx.cs' Inherits='PeopleManagement.Web.Views.Search.Search' %> Line 2:  <asp:Content ID='Content1' ContentPlaceHolderID='head' runat='server'> Line 3:  </asp:Content>

This is the entire contents of my Code Behind for that aspx page:

using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using System.Web; using System.Web.Mvc;   namespace PeopleManagement.Web.Views.Search {     public partial class Search : ViewPage     {     } }

I’m not sure what changed in my app that is causing this. It seems like VS might be reading this as a webforms app instead of an MVC app maybe? Any ideas on where I should start to troubleshoot?

  1. I’ve had this happen before. Can’t explain it. I ended up rebuilding the first view by creating it again and copying and pasting the markup. Also try shutting down VS and restarting.
