i think you have deleted some of the files which are necessary for .net framework to run properly.

Try to install .net Framework again

Hello Dennisw56

How did you free space on the C drive?

Perhaps you have to restart IIS or recycle the app pool.

Thank you very much,

Richard Hughes

Thanks for the feedback…

I have more information on what occurred this morning. A colleague noticed the compilation error viewing one of the web sites. He then logged into the server and noticed the c drive was low on space. He deleted old log files and rebooted the server. He still received the error.

I have uninstalled .Net 2.0 SP2, .Net 3.0 SP2 and .Net 3.5 SP1. Then I reinstalled .Net 3.5 SP1 and rebooted the server.

We are still receiving the compilation error.

Other suggestions?

Try re-deploying the site, it seems there could be some website files missing/corrupt.

Thanks

Thanks, I did try to redeploy one of the web applications. Same error...

The error occurs on all web apps on the server.

install framework 2.0 if your websites require 2.0

alternatively try to change the ASPNet version in the website properties if it helps.

I resolved the issue myself but appreciate the feedback pointing me in the right direction.
