MVC Application - Retrieve the LoaderExceptions from Global.asax.cs

Question

I am getting the following error when trying to implement code from my peers:

Unable to load one or more of the requested types. Retrieve the LoaderExceptions property for more information.

I see there is a posting for how to "How to retrieve the LoaderException property?" here (How to retrieve the LoaderException property?)

But, I do not understand where this try catch should go since the code to implement my peers code is in the Global.asax.cs file. (see below)

Any help would be appreciated and if you DOWN VOTE me, please explain why.

namespace IMS_STS_Example_SIT
{
 // Note: For instructions on enabling IIS6 or IIS7 classic mode, 
 // visit http://go.microsoft.com/?LinkId=9394801

 public class MvcApplication : StsMvcHttpApplication
 {
    protected override void OnApplicationStarted()
    {
        base.OnApplicationStarted();

        AreaRegistration.RegisterAllAreas();

        WebApiConfig.Register(GlobalConfiguration.Configuration);
        FilterConfig.RegisterGlobalFilters(GlobalFilters.Filters);
        RouteConfig.RegisterRoutes(RouteTable.Routes);
        BundleConfig.RegisterBundles(BundleTable.Bundles);

    }
 }
}

Here is the full error message from the UI:

did you try the default super class of MVC instead of "StsMvcHttpApplication" — sino
No. The StsMvcHttpApplication is where my peers code is. I will post the rest of the error message I am getting from the UI. — ADH
so you need to make sure all the depedencies of this class are there — sino

replace StsMvcHttpApplication by MvcHttpApplication or make sure you are refering to StsMvcHttpApplication assemblies and all their dependencies
