ASP.NET strange compilation error

I removed Roslyn related packages by NuGet and it does work now.

Roslyn related packages:

Microsoft.CodeDom.Providers.DotNetCompilerPlatform
Microsoft.Net.Compilers

P.S: My local IIS doesn't have any problem with Roslyn but as I publish the project on the server (this is why I don't think the server supports Roslyn), it shows the following error message:

Compilation Error

Description: An error occurred during the compilation of a resource required to service this request. Please review the following specific error details and modify your source code appropriately.

Compiler Error Message: The compiler failed with error code -532462766.

How to uninstall the Roslyn packages.

In the Solution Explorer, by Right-Click on the web project, select Manage NuGet Packages....
Go to Installed tab then search the related Roslyn packages as mentioned at above.
Use Uninstall button to delete them.

OK, after days struggling with this issue, I finally fixed it.

Not by clearing ASP.NET temp
Not by reinstalling the .NET framework!

Simple!

I changed the application pool identity from "Local system" to "ApplicationPoolIdentity"

Apparently there was a permission error with my local system that the C# compiler (csc.exe) could not access some resources and source codes.

In order to change your AppPool identity follow steps given here: http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/624/application-pool-identities/

What worked for me... It seems if you install (or a dependent package installs) Microsoft.CodeDom.Providers.DotNetCompilerPlatform NuGet package it makes some web.config transforms that allow you to use C#7.x features in ASP.NET Razor pages. Whilst I found these worked fine on my local machine they didn't work on our server (even when the compiler was in the /bin/ folder).

The solution was to locate the element below and remove completely from web.config

  <system.codedom>
    <compilers>
      <compiler language="c#;cs;csharp" extension=".cs" type="Microsoft.CodeDom.Providers.DotNetCompilerPlatform.CSharpCodeProvider, Microsoft.CodeDom.Providers.DotNetCompilerPlatform, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" warningLevel="4" compilerOptions="/langversion:6 /nowarn:1659;1699;1701" />
      <compiler language="vb;vbs;visualbasic;vbscript" extension=".vb" type="Microsoft.CodeDom.Providers.DotNetCompilerPlatform.VBCodeProvider, Microsoft.CodeDom.Providers.DotNetCompilerPlatform, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" warningLevel="4" compilerOptions="/langversion:14 /nowarn:41008 /define:_MYTYPE=\&quot;Web\&quot; /optionInfer+" />
    </compilers>
  </system.codedom>

I got this kind of error too, but the problem was very different explained here. So in my case I got compiler error from temp file that I was using non existing namespace like:

using ImaginaryNamespaces;

I was sure that code "using ImaginaryNamespaces;" dosn't exists in my solution so of course I doubt cache problem. Finally I figured out that the temporary file was some generated source file from configs. My Views/Web.Config had a line:

<add namespace="ImaginaryNamespaces"/>

After removing this it worked. So I recommend to make sure that there is not any data in configs that might be related to the compiler error.

Delete C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\Temporary ASP.NET Files\
