    Hello Svetlana,

    Please verify that you have GenericContentRssProvider class in App_Code folder. If you don't use it, remove all references to it.

    Kind regards,
    Ivan Dimitrov

    Thank you for the answer!
    But I didn't have this class in the  App_Code folder and didn't have any links for it. This project.
    This project I has got  by inheritance from another developer :)
    So the problem was resolved when I added GenericContentRssProvider class in the App_Code folder.
