Could not load file or assembly 'App_Web_tod59ga8' and similar

I'm working in the migration of an asp.net application in 1.1 to 2.0.
I'm new to this application, just worked with that some days.
Today, I decided to open the project in VS.2005 and everything seemed
to be fine, all opened and everything was migrated. I have been working
on improvements on it this day.

However, I found that sometimes I get this error :

"Could not load file or assembly 'App_Web_tod59ga8, Version=0.0.0.0,
Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' or one of its dependencies. The
system cannot find the file specified"

The error always appears to point to places of code where user controls
are declared. The "App_Web_xxxxx" assembly seems to be a random name
choosen by VS.Net to rename my binaries or something like that.
The error is gone by either restarting the web services, or closing and
reopening visual studio or both.
Anyone has ever experimented this error ? Any clue ?

I get this error too. It shows up every few days, sometimes after only a
few hours. But of course, the file is where it should be.

Only solution I've found so far is to stop the W3SVC (WWW Publisher
Service) and delete all the files in
C:/Windows/Microsoft.NET/Framework/v2.0.50527/Temporary ASP.NET Files/*

When you first hit the website, it will be recompiled automatically.

Running aspnet_compiler -c -m /LM/W3SVC/nnn/ROOT/ dosn't seem to have any
effect.
