Answer 1

Try checking you publish settings. It might include the setting Precompile during publishing.

In the cases where I have experienced this, disabling this in my publish settings was the solution.

Answer 2

Kindly remove below files from bin folder. App_global.asax.dll App_global.asax.compiled

Answer 3

Here is another solution,

In your ISS virtual directory delete the BIN folder, then clean and rebuild your project and make new build/publish.

This solution is work for me using ASP.NET MVC 5, Entity Framework 6, Framework 4.6 and IIS 7.
