Probable Timeout Issue

If I leave an ASP.NET MVC application for a while then try to access any page, or if I re-compile the application and try to access anything but the root page I get the error of Error executing child request for handler followed by the page path such as 'ASP.areas_accounts_views_contractscontrol_createdatacontract_aspx'. Any ideas as to why this may be happening? It just happens after a re-compile which means if it's ever launched live everyone will see this error when trying to access any page but the home page.

Cheers

Here's the stack trace:

I don't think that it is the recompile that is the problem.

It the app in IIS is idle for a while, or if there is a recycling of the application pool, then information cached in memory is lost.

The next call will then trigger a JIT recompile.

What is also lost is any data cached in memory, and any singelton objects that may have been created.

My guess is that you are creating or initializing something when the root page is called. All other pages are dependent upon this initialization having been done. That is why the other pages fail if they are called before the root page.
