'PublishedContentModels' does not exist in the namespace 'Umbraco.Web'

Umbraco 7.3.5 installed via NuGet VS 2015

Umbraco backend working but unable to load frontend pages.

Getting following Error :

This type of issue is linked with model builder but 7.3.5 should not have model builder with it .

Solution Needed enter image description here

Thanks !

Hi Mayank

Is this a fresh install or an existing implementation ?

I'm wondering how the view (App_Web_root.cshtml) has gotten a reference to using Umbraco.Web.PublishedContentModels ?

If the site isn't meant to work with ModelsBuilder or Zbu Models builder package for pre 7.4.x I'd remove any using statements that reference Umbraco.Web.PublishedContentModels...

and then I'd delete the contents of the folder 78bad723 from your Temporary ASP Files

c:\Users\Mayank\AppData\Local\Temp\Temporary ASP.NET Files\vs\e37dfa4f\78bad723

to make sure they are freshly generated...

.. see if the error returns after rebuilding.

regards

Marc

This could be due to ~/Views/web.config having a reference to the namespace (I believe it is in there by default):

<system.web.webPages.razor>
<host factoryType="System.Web.Mvc.MvcWebRazorHostFactory, System.Web.Mvc, Version=5.2.3.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" />
<pages pageBaseType="System.Web.Mvc.WebViewPage">
  <namespaces>
    <add namespace="System.Web.Mvc" />
    <add namespace="System.Web.Mvc.Ajax" />
    <add namespace="System.Web.Mvc.Html" />
    <add namespace="System.Web.Routing" />
    <add namespace="Umbraco.Web" />
    <add namespace="Umbraco.Core" />
    <add namespace="Umbraco.Core.Models" />
    <add namespace="Umbraco.Web.Mvc" />
    <add namespace="umbraco" />
    <add namespace="Examine" />
    <add namespace="Umbraco.Web.PublishedContentModels" />        
  </namespaces>
</pages>

Does someone can explain why I need a Umbraco.Web.PublishedContentModels.dll in my bin directory, and so why it is not part of Umbraco releases?

The .dll is made by the models builder in Umbraco. The models builder will convert your document types into strongly typed models for you to use in your application. If the Umbraco.ModelsBuilder.ModelsMode setting in your web.config is set to dll or LiveDll, the PublishedContentModels.dll will appear in your bin directory.

Read more about the models builder here: https://our.umbraco.com/documentation/reference/templating/modelsbuilder/
