  • Read this answer and verify that it isn't the same problem Commented Sep 16, 2012 at 11:08
  • Thanks, I think it might be different problem, as I am using .net framework4.This is working fine locally. I think it might be missing some dependency files.But I am not sure which one is missing. Commented Sep 17, 2012 at 9:35
  • Have you turned on the debug settings in the web.config to get the ASP.NET Yellow Screen of Death with more specific error information? If so, I would suggest posting an image of that (scrubbing it of any private information of course) Commented Sep 18, 2012 at 2:37
  • After turning on debug settings, I get the message: Could not load file or assembly 'System.Data.SqlServerCe.Entity, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89845dcd8080cc91' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified. Commented Sep 18, 2012 at 11:51
  • Can you verify that this is the proper version of the assembly, as well as check to see that it is getting uploaded to azure-web-sites you can browse the files that were uploaded to your site via ftp. I've seen issues in the past where a .gitignore was filtering out a bin directory which would cause this exact problem (and multiple others) Commented Sep 18, 2012 at 22:37

To summarize and so an answer can get marked on this to help the next person that comes by.

When running into issues on FTP is a handy debugging tool which enables you to:

  • Verify that the dll exists in your bin directory
    • Sometimes the .gitignore file blocks directories from being checked in
  • Verify that your web.config file has the proper version of the assembly configured
    • NuGet can help, but it's ultimately up to you to verify your dependencies

Another handy tool is WebMatrix 2 with which you can connect and have a remote view. It works nicely with WAWS btw.

Here is a good article to follow on the subject: http://www.dotnetcurry.com/showarticle.aspx?ID=883 Unfortunately with VS 2013 Compact edition is not supported any more, so things are somewhat tricky.
