Access to Temp Directory is Denied

Error:
When deploying application and viewing the web page, the following error occurs:

Access to the temp directory is denied.

Identity 'IIS APPPOOL\WebAppPool' under which XmlSerializer is running does not have sufficient permission to access the temp directory. CodeDom will use the user account the process is using to do the compilation, so if the user doesnt have access to system temp directory, you will not be able to compile. Use Path.GetTempPath() API to find out the temp directory location.

Solution:
Go to IIS, change advanced settings of the application pool used for the website, then under Process Model Category, change the Identity to ApplicationPoolIdentity.
