I am getting the following error whenever I try to run the ASP.NET web application from branch solution in TFS. I am not getting any compilation error.

My application has 3 branches in TFS and all of them are throwing the same issue.

enter image description here

Here is the environment information: Visual Studio 2012, ASP.NET Web Application, Entity Framework 6 and IIS 7.5

Web.Config

 <entityFramework>
    <defaultConnectionFactory type="System.Data.Entity.Infrastructure.SqlConnectionFactory, EntityFramework" />
    <providers>
      <provider invariantName="System.Data.SqlClient" type="System.Data.Entity.SqlServer.SqlProviderServices, EntityFramework.SqlServer" />
    </providers>
  </entityFramework>

Did anyone faced this exception? Do you have any solution for this issue?

You have Nuget package restore enabled? Delete your bin folder and rebuild. – Steve Greene Apr 10 '15 at 17:48
