I have written a class library and I'm using this DLL (MyLibrary.dll) in my ASP.NET website. Locally on my machine, this works fine. However, when I publish my website to an FTP location using the functionality from Visual Studio, the website is not loading properly. I'm getting the error "Could not load type 'MyNamespace.MyClass' from assembly 'MyWebsite.dll". The problem is that, this error is in a way correct because MyNamespace.MyClass is found in the class library that is referenced from my ASP.NET website.

My question is, why is the website not referring to my DLL? What am I doing wrong here or what am I missing? So far, I made sure that, both MyWebsite.dll and MyLibrary.dll are both found in the \bin folder.

Same problem I faced few days ego. In my case the path was different..

In my case, even the namespace is incorrect. It's like the website is looking for the class in a wrong namespace.

exactly...If you try it with like
projectname.folder.classname then I think prob will be solved.

Sorry for the long delay but I couldn't test this out earlier. Clearly, you were 100% correct. I just needed to include the namespace before the class name and worked like a charm. If you want, add your reply as a solution so that I can mark it as an answer. Thanks again!!

Probably you want to deploy you website as a new website, removing all of the previous binaries from the server. Or check the App_Start configurations to see what are they referring too.
