Failure Loading Of Event Receiver Assembly

Question

I have the following code snippet in my feature.xml

<Feature Id="0c272f81-49c0-440a-a544-677d51a8ffe4"
    ReceiverAssembly="FeaturedMasterPage, Version 1.0.0.0, Culture=Neutral, PublicKeyToken=9f4da00116c38ec5"
    ReceiverClass="FeaturedMasterPage.FeatureEventReciever"
    Title="Branding202" 
    Scope="Web" 
    Version="1.0.0.0" 
    Hidden="FALSE" 
    DefaultResourceFile="core" 
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/">
  <ElementManifests>
    <ElementManifest Location="Branding202\Module.xml" />
    <ElementFile Location="Branding202\Branding202.Master" />
  </ElementManifests>
</Feature>

My FeatureEventReciever.cs says:-

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using Microsoft.SharePoint;
using System.Text;
using System.Diagnostics;

namespace FeaturedMasterPage
{
    class FeatureEventReciever:SPFeatureReceiver
    {
        public override void FeatureActivated(SPFeatureReceiverProperties properties)
        {
            try
            {
                //My Code
            }
            catch (Exception)
            {
                throw;
            }
        }

        public override void FeatureDeactivating(SPFeatureReceiverProperties properties)
        {
            try
            {
                //My Code
            }
            catch (Exception)
            {

                throw;
            }
        }

        public override void FeatureInstalled(SPFeatureReceiverProperties properties) { }

        public override void FeatureUninstalling(SPFeatureReceiverProperties properties) { }
    }
}

When i try to deploy the solution...it gives me the following error:-

Error 1 Feature '0c272f81-49c0-440a-a544-677d51a8ffe4' could not be installed because the loading of event receiver assembly "FeaturedMasterPage, Version 1.0.0.0, Culture=Neutral, PublicKeyToken=9f4da00116c38ec5" failed: System.IO.FileLoadException: Could not load file or assembly 'FeaturedMasterPage\, Version 1.0.0.0\, Culture\=Neutral\, PublicKeyToken\=9f4da00116c38ec5' or one of its dependencies.

I have already spent whole day troubleshooting this. I have installed the dll using gacutil.

Any help would be appreciated.

Maybe it's just something gone wrong in StackOverflow automatic formatting, but I don't see the "equals" sign in your assembly's full name (at the ReceiverAssembly="...." part).

Should be

FeaturedMasterPage, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=Neutral, PublicKeyToken=9f4da00116c38ec5

What I see is

FeaturedMasterPage, Version 1.0.0.0, Culture=Neutral, PublicKeyToken=9f4da00116c38ec5
