Error: allowDefinition=’MachineToApplication’ beyond application level

I’ve just encountered this “delight”. It seems to present itself just after I’ve published a web application in release mode.

The only way to consistently get round the issue that I’ve found is to follow this checklist:

  1. Clean solution whilst your solution is configured in Release mode.
  2. Clean solution whilst your solution is configured in Debug mode.
  3. Build whilst your solution is configured in Debug mode.
