  <p>Here is my code that is supposed to run before Application_start in global.asax.
  I was upgrading my web project from mvc 3 to mvc 4. So, In that process, I made a mistake in namespace. This was working before i corrected my namespace. It no longer works now. I reset iis/flushed dns/ rebuilt solution/removed the temporary .net files in C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\versionxxxxxx...\Temporary ASP.NET Files\root.
  Nothing worked. Am i missing something here? The Initialize() method has all my structure map stuff dependency resolution stuff. So, I can't move forward without figuring this out. Tried to diagnose the problem for so many hours and i need help.</p>
