One Time Ambiguous Controller - ASP.NET MVC

Expand Post »

Hello everyone. My application has two "main" controllers, which are: 1: EsgRepublic.Payport.Mvc.Areas.Employees.Controllers.EmployeeController
2: EsgRepublic.PayPort.Mvc.Areas.Admin.Controllers.HomeController

The first time i click at any link related to the 1st controller, i get the following error:
The controller name 'Home' is ambiguous between the following types:
EsgRepublic.Payport.Mvc.Areas.Admin.Controllers.HomeController
EsgRepublic.Payport.Mvc.Controllers.HomeController

The second time works properly, and so on.
Strangely, this error only happens the first time i click per clean&build (if i only build, it doesnt happen!). Also, if i click on links about the 2nd controller before the 1st, it works properly.
