My guess is that a namespace was changed somewhere and the HTML Markup is pointing to the wrong class. Something like:

<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="WebForm1.aspx.cs" Inherits="WebApplication2.WebForm1" %>

However, you may have changed WebForm1 to something more descriptive, so it prolly looks like this now:

<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="SomePage.aspx.cs" Inherits="WebApplication2.WebForm1" %>

If you changed the class name from WebForm1 to SomePage, then you need to update this Inherits to:

<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="SomePage.aspx.cs" Inherits="WebApplication2.SomePage" %>

Build your application before deploying. Also, there's no point 'publishing' to another location on your own machine. Just build it then copy and paste your files over to C:\inetpub\whatever.

when i copy it after i build is when i get the error, it runs fine in Visual Studio

That then indicates that the build is not completing.

After you build, are there any DLLs in the bin folder?
Does it build successfully? Any errors in the Task List?
