Parse Error in Global.asax after Publishing to Azure

I have deployed my ASP.Net MVC 5 application to Azure Web Apps. All has worked well until I added Application Insights yesterday. Since then, each attempt to publish my site results in a parse error. I've reviewed the application logs and telemetry but cannot discern how things have gone awry. Are there specific changes that need to be made to global.asax in order for Application Insights to place well?

Update: I found that the web project properties Assembly Name had been accidentally modified (rookie move). I have changed it, cleaned, rebuilt, published all to no avail. Output of parse error is:

Parser Error Message: The type 'MobileFirst452.MvcApplication' is ambiguous:   
it could come from assembly 'D:\home\site\wwwroot\bin\licationSeri.DLL' or 
from assembly 'D:\home\site\wwwroot\bin\MobileFirst452.DLL'. Please specify 
the assembly explicitly in the type name.

I deleted contents from bin folder. The contents of global.asax are as follows:

<%@ Application Codebehind="Global.asax.cs" 
Inherits="MobileFirst452.MvcApplication" Language="C#" %>

After posting the above update, I reviewed the files deployed to Azure. I deleted the DLL that was causing the error and can now finish testing the site. Word to the wise: check project properties prior to publishing just in case something was accidentally over-typed.
