Compiled WCF Service Returning Exception

My WCF Service ASP 4.0 using SSL works well in uncompiled form on Winhost, and works in compiled form on local IIS7. Copying files from IIS7 to Winhost (web.config unchanged) results in the following exception:

System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'System.Web.WebPages.Deployment, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

Any help greatly appreciated

web.config is below:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration>

<system.web>
<compilation debug="false" targetFramework="4.0" defaultLanguage="c#" batch="false" />
</system.web>

<system.serviceModel>

<bindings>
<wsHttpBinding>
<binding name="TransportSecurity">
<security mode="Transport">
<transport clientCredentialType="None" ></transport>
</security>
</binding>
</wsHttpBinding>
</bindings>

<services>
<service name="Service" >

<!-- Service Endpoints -->
<endpoint address="" binding="wsHttpBinding"
bindingConfiguration="TransportSecurity" contract="IService"/>
<!-- delete next line to prevent exposing service.svc -->
<endpoint address="mex" binding="mexHttpsBinding" contract="IMetadataExchange"/>
</service>
</services>

</configuration>

 

Solved my own problem

Used -u switch with aspnet_compiler. Seems to solve the problem.

Without -u Sevice.svc becomes a placeholder and \bin contains a .compiled form of service.svc. With -u Service.svc remains the same as uncompiled form and no .compiled file created.

Works for me

 

Thanks for posting the follow up. You'll save someone a headache.
