Hi Nayan K,
>>ExceptionMessage>Could not load MyProject.dll.</ExceptionMessage>
<InnerType>System.NullReferenceException</InnerType>
If you disable the code analyze tool, and then build your web project, could you get this error message?
Generally this occurs if the file is not found or access to the file was denied.

Please check your project folder, whether you could get this dll file? Or make sure that you add the correct references in your project.
Best Regards,
Jack
