I'm developing an MVC site and it works fine locally, but when I deploy to my Azure site, I am getting this error:
Could not load file or assembly 'System.Web.Mvc, Version=5.2.3.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' or one of its dependencies. The located assembly's manifest definition does not match the assembly reference. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131040)
I should be deploying all of those assemblies. Since its hosted in Azure, I have limited control over the box, but I thought they would have this assembly on there as well so I'm not sure why this is causing an issue. Any ideas?
