ASP.NET MVC 1: "No parameterless constructor"-error after moving to VS2010 (using MVCTurbines)

Our current project is written in ASP.NET MVC 1 using mvc-turbines (and unity) for IOC/DI.

When I try to start the application from 2008 everything works fine, but from 2010 I keep getting the "No parameterless constructor"-error.

Why? Both are targeting the same .Net framework. The VS 2010 solution keeps using the default controller factory. Any suggestions to debug this?

I am assuming that in the Application_Start() method of your HttpApplication (Global.asax.cs) you are setting the controller factory to be your custom controller factory.

I believe what is happening is that prior to this line of code executing, an exception is being thrown somewhere in Application_Start(). If this happens, any subsequent call to the web application will bypass this exception, which can result in your application misbehaving (such as not using your custom controller factory).

I would debug Application_Start() and make sure it is executing correctly. If you're using ELMAH, then the exception should get logged.
