No assembly found containing an OwinStartupAttribute. error in asp.net mvc project


Hi, I have just created a project using Visual Studio 2015 & selected MVC template, but When I tried to build the project and executed it in the browser, I got the error as below

The following errors occurred while attempting to load the app.
- No assembly found containing an OwinStartupAttribute.
- No assembly found containing a Startup or [AssemblyName].Startup class.
To disable OWIN startup discovery, add the appSetting owin:AutomaticAppStartup with a value of "false" in your web.config.
To specify the OWIN startup Assembly, Class, or Method, add the appSetting owin:AppStartup with the fully qualified startup class or configuration method name in your web.config.

Here is the Image of the error

How can I resolve this error?What did I miss?

Thanks

1. Check if there is Startup.cs file in the root folder of your project, if not please create startup.cs in the root of propject like below example

public class Startup
{
    //For more information on how to configure your application,
    //visit http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=398940
    public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
    {
                services.AddMvc();
    }

    public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app)
    {
             app.UseMvc();
    }
}

2. OR add the key owin:AutomaticAppStartup set to false in your appSettings

<appSettings>

   <addkey="owin:AutomaticAppStartup" value=“false“ />

</appSettings>

One of the above solutions should solve your issue

If you got this error, while removing OWIN from your project, you can do this

  • Delete OWIN references and Nuget packages from project
  • OWIN file are still in build, so delete them from bin/directory manually
  • Now clean and rebuild project

For those who want OWIN and getting this error

  • If you have a partial class "Startup" in your Startup.Auth file, create another partial Startup class in the root of your project.
  • Define an assembly owinstartup attribute pointing to that class
  • Create a "Configuration" method
    using Microsoft.Owin;
using Owin;

[assembly: OwinStartupAttribute(typeof(ProjectNameSpace.Startup))]
namespace ProjectNameSpace
{
    public partial class Startup
    {
        public void Configuration(IAppBuilder app)
        {
            ConfigureAuth(app);
        }
    }
}?
  • If your app setting, add OWIN key
    <appSettings>

   <addkey="owin:AutomaticAppStartup" value=“false“ />

</appSettings>?
  • Now, rebuild project.

That's it.
