OWIN Startup Class Missing

Create One Class With Name Startup this will help you..

public class Startup
{
   public void Configuration(IAppBuilder app)
   {
      app.MapSignalR();
   }
}

On Visual Studio 2013 RC2, there is a template for this. Just add it to App_Start folder.

The template produces such a class:

using System;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using Microsoft.Owin;
using Owin;

[assembly: OwinStartup(typeof(WebApiOsp.App_Start.Startup))]

namespace WebApiOsp.App_Start
{
    public class Startup
    {
        public void Configuration(IAppBuilder app)
        {
            // For more information on how to configure your application, visit http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=316888
        }
    }
}

In our project, we didn't need the OWIN functionality, so we removed all the owin references from the initial ASP.NET MVC template project. The problem occured after removing the OWIN startup class.

The problem was the extra owin dll's in my bin folder. When I deleted them, the problem was resolved. You should delete them by deleting the bin folder. Clean Solution does not delete these dlls.

Somehow, IIS still executes the OWIN dll's when they are in the bin folder.
