No parameterless constructor defined for this object in mvc4

Question

using Michell.ClaimsAuditAdmin.Models;
using Mitchell.ClaimsAuditAdmin.Repositories;
using Mitchell.ClaimsAuditAdmin.Web.Models;
using System.Web.Mvc;

namespace Mitchell.ClaimsAuditAdmin.Web.Controllers
{
    public class ClaimAuditAdminController : Controller
    {  
       private readonly IClaimsAuditAdminRepository claimAuditAdminRepository;


       public ClaimAuditAdminController(IClaimsAuditAdminRepository claimAuditAdminRepository)
       {
           this.claimAuditAdminRepository = claimAuditAdminRepository;
       }

         public ActionResult Index()
        {
            return View("SearchResultTest");
        }

        public ActionResult TestView()
        {
            return View("TestView");
        }


        public ViewResult DisplayClaimAuditView()
        {
           return View("_ClaimAuditAdminView");
        }

        public ActionResult SearchResultTest()
        {
            return View();
        }

        public ActionResult ClaimAuditReviewFilter()
        {
            //ClaimAuditModel objClaimAudit = new ClaimAuditModel();
            //objClaimAudit.ClaimAudit_ID = 1;
            //objClaimAudit.ClaimAudit_Name = "Claim1";
            //objClaimAudit.FromDate = DateTime.Now.AddYears(-1);
            //objClaimAudit.FromDate = DateTime.Now;
            return PartialView("_ClaimAuditAdminView");
        }



    }
}

I know this question has been asked many times,but after reading all those SO similar questions i am not able to track my error.I have put the debugger in My controller's Constructor(ClaimAuditAdminController) but debugger doesn't goes there. My Route.Config is

public class RouteConfig
    {
        public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
        {
            routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");

            routes.MapRoute(
                name: "Default",
                url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
                defaults: new { controller = "ClaimAuditAdmin", action = "DisplayClaimAuditView", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
            );
        }

and the screen shot of my error is

Had this same problem, but it turned out that I'd forgotten to call my DI container's Initialize() method due to my haste in copying and pasting my SimpleInjectorInitializer class. Also had to fix the namespace. (D'OH!) Hopefully this will help someone here in the future. :) — Scott Fraley

activator trying to create ur controller with parametrless constructor. but while your controller constructor has parameter

public ClaimAuditAdminController(IClaimsAuditAdminRepository claimAuditAdminRepository) <--this place
   {
       this.claimAuditAdminRepository = claimAuditAdminRepository;
   }

the exception occurs. Try to remove param from constructor or try override the DefaultControllerFactory and create controller with parameter.

look here
