ASP.NET 2.0 & Visual Studio 2005 Error

An unexpected error in Visual Studio 2005:

Could not load file or assembly ‘App_Web_*******, Version=0.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null’ or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

To resolve this problem make a change to the file initiating the error, then save the file. For example, add a  several characters - save - remove the characters and save again. Now when you refresh the page everything should work properly.

Unfortunately this error seems to occur for no known reason.
