The given assembly name or codebase was invalid. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131047)

When I made changes to the web.config file of an ASP.Net C# application, I have accidentally deleted a comma, and I started to get the runtime error message:

The given assembly name or codebase was invalid. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131047)

Make sure all necessary commas are there in the config files, Visual Studio does not check the format of those lines. In my case, the error was in

<provider invariantName="MySql.Data.MySqlClient" type="MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlProviderServices, MySql.Data.Entity.EF6, Version=6.9.10.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=c5687fc88969c44d" />
