MVC 4 Can't fix the error The type 'System.Web.Mvc.WebViewPage <TModel> exists in the elements - asp.net-mvc-4

after moved my MVC 4 project from VS 2012 to VS 2013 Community I get the following error (in the LogIn.cshtml page).
CS0433: The type 'System.Web.Mvc.WebViewPage "exists in the elements c:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\assembly\GAC_MSIL\System.Web.Mvc\v4.0_4.0.0.0__31bf3856ad364e35\System.Web.Mvc.dll and c:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\assembly\GAC_MSIL\System.Web.Mvc\v4.0_3.0.0.0__31bf3856ad364e35\System.Web.Mvc.dll
I deleted all files from C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\Temporary ASP.NET Files, cleaned the solution but the problem remains. How to fix it ?
EDIT
The Test project used the MVC 3, that was the reason

If you have already tried the above solutions and are still getting the same problem then try this one->
Go to your project folder and in there locate the bin folder --> Remove System.Web.Mvc.dll and System.Web.Mvc.xml from there.

You could check in your web.config files.
Check if the version is the same as you're using as reference.
Application web.config file:
<add assembly="System.Web.Mvc, Version=3.0.0.1, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" />
and
<bindingRedirect oldVersion="1.0.0.0-3.0.0.0" newVersion="3.0.0.1" />
And the Views web.config file:
<add assembly="System.Web.Mvc, Version=3.0.0.1, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" namespace="System.Web.Mvc" tagPrefix="mvc" />
In my example, my MVC dll is the version 3.0.1. But Visual Studio built my solution as if it were 3.0.0. So I had to map the references in the web.config files to 3.0.1.

Check if you are referencing both DLLs to your project.
Your project is reading in two assemblies that might be referenced in your project:
System.Web.MVC version 4.0.0.0 and in System.Web.MVC version 3.0.0.0

In your root web.config, near the bottom, you will have something like the following:
<runtime>
<assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">
<dependentAssembly>
<assemblyIdentity name="System.Web.Mvc" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35"/>
<bindingRedirect oldVersion="4.0.0.0-4.0.0.1" newVersion="4.0.0.1"/>
</dependentAssembly>
</assemblyBinding>
</runtime>
For me, I simply changed the 'oldVersion' number to 1.0.0.0-4.0.0.1 so that this application will always use the 'newVersion'.

System.Runtime, Version=4.2.1.0, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a has a higher version than referenced assembly

I upgraded my ASP.NET CORE application from sdk .NET Core 2.0 to .NET Core 2.1.
I can run the solution in my localhost but when I deploy it to another server there is an exception. And the exception is below.
The steps I have done to solve the issue so far are below and it throws the same error with all the modification that I did seems nothing works.
Does anybody have any suggestion how to solve this issue?
Steps I've done:
Modify the setting for the project
<PropertyGroup>
<TargetFramework>netcoreapp2.1</TargetFramework>
<Platforms>AnyCPU;x64</Platforms>
<RuntimeFrameworkVersion>2.1.0</RuntimeFrameworkVersion>
<UseNETCoreGenerator>true</UseNETCoreGenerator>
<RazorCompileOnBuild>true</RazorCompileOnBuild>
</PropertyGroup>
I also added binding redirect in the web.config
<assemblyIdentity name="System.Runtime" publicKeyToken="b03f5f7f11d50a3a" culture="neutral"
bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-4.2.0.0" newVersion="4.2.1.0"
<assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">
<dependentAssembly>
<assemblyIdentity name="System.Runtime" publicKeyToken="b03f5f7f11d50a3a" culture="neutral"/>
<bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-4.2.0.0" newVersion="4.2.1.0" />
</dependentAssembly>
</assemblyBinding>
Install .net core 2.1 on the server
I also deleted my .vs folder and close my visual studio and open it again.
Exception :
Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.Razor.Compilation.CompilationFailedException: One or more compilation failures occurred:error CS1705: Assembly Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' uses 'System.Runtime, Version=4.2.1.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' which has a higher version than referenced assembly 'System.Runtime' with identity 'System.Runtime, Version=4.2.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a'
I had same problem. When I added the Views folder from the solution to the publish folder then the problem went away. For some reason Razor requires these source files to be present in the server AND up-to-date even when it compiles them also into .dll. Therefore it is strange indeed that the Views folder is not automatically copied during publish.
I personally made a junction like this
junction "MyProject\bin\Release\netcoreapp2.1\linux-x64\publish\Views" "MyProject\Views"
Alternatively, disabling the following line might help (have not tested but this issue seems to be related since in earlier versions of Net.Core there was no Razor compilation).
<RazorCompileOnBuild>true</RazorCompileOnBuild>
to
<RazorCompileOnBuild>false</RazorCompileOnBuild>

getting compilation error when deploying to production gridmvc

I installed gridmvc latest using nuget. Things work fine in my local environment but when i deploy it to production, I get this error. Please help.

Please follow the guide below: http://www.codeproject.com/Tips/597253/Using-the-Grid-MVC-in-ASP-NET-MVC
and make sure you've done the same steps while configuring your environment and code.
I hope the above will address you issue.
It's resolved now. All I had to do was, remove old referenced dll under References in this case (System.Web.Mvc 4.0.0.0). Add new reference System.Web.Mvc 4.0.0.1. Click on the new referenced dll, in the properties windows set Copy to Local = True.
The in my project's root web.config file, change the following
FROM
<dependentAssembly>
<assemblyIdentity name="System.Web.Mvc" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" />
<bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-4.0.0.0" newVersion="4.0.0.0" />
</dependentAssembly>
TO
<dependentAssembly>
<assemblyIdentity name="System.Web.Mvc" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" />
<bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-4.0.0.0" newVersion="4.0.0.1" />
</dependentAssembly>
Then do clean and rebuild. Then copy the new System.Web.Mvc (4.0.0.1) dll over to production.

VS2012 NuGet update causing cryptic warnings on build

The recent Visual Studio 2012 update seems to have broke something in my build. I think it has to do with last week's nuget update.
NuGet package restore started.
All packages are already installed and there is nothing to restore.
NuGet package restore finished.

How could I resolve these warnings? I've had all kinda of weird side effects in my application since they have appeared such as: inconsistent model binding (related to the Edm assembly?).
As the message indicates you can fix these warning by mapping the assembly version 5.2 to version 5.6. You do this by editing the assemblyBinding of your config file. In this case, add the following XML:
<dependentAssembly>
<assemblyIdentity name="Microsoft.Data.OData" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" />
<bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-5.2.0.0" newVersion="5.6.0.0" />
</dependentAssembly>
<dependentAssembly>
<assemblyIdentity name="Microsoft.Data.Edm" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" />
<bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-5.2.0.0" newVersion="5.6.0.0" />
</dependentAssembly>
<dependentAssembly>
<assemblyIdentity name="System.Spatial" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" />
<bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-5.2.0.0" newVersion="5.6.0.0" />
</dependentAssembly>
I'm not sure why you think this is cryptic, it's quite clear. You have more than one version of those packages installed (5.2 and 5.6) Some of your components are referencing 5.2 and some 5.6, and this is causing the warning. It's suggesting that you alias 5.2 to 5.6 so that the assemblies referencing 5.2 will use 5.6 instead.
This is probably no the best approach though, unless you have no control over those assemblies. You should probably just uninstall the 5.2 packages, and then update the nuget references to the 5.6 version and rebuild.

MSB3247: Found conflicts... error for EnttityFramework 4.4.00 to 5.0.0.0

This occurs in ASP.Net MVC 4 project.
I found an excellent suggestion to view MSBuild detailed output here. Seems like System.Web.Providers.dll is referencing 4.5.0.0 causing this error.
I attempted a Binding redirect in web.config under runtime -> assemblyBinding
<dependentAssembly>
<assemblyIdentity name="EntityFramework" publicKeyToken="b77a5c561934e089" />
<bindingRedirect oldVersion="1.0.0.0-4.4.0.0" newVersion="5.0.0.0" />
</dependentAssembly>
When I rebuilt the project, I still got the below message:
Consider app.config remapping of assembly "EntityFramework,
Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" from Version
"4.4.0.0" [] to Version "5.0.0.0"
[C:\Rhipheus\Cloudlene.Rhipheus\packages\EntityFramework.5.0.0\lib\net45\EntityFramework.dll]
to solve conflict and get rid of warning.
I extended redirect to 4.5.0.0:
Consider app.config remapping of assembly "EntityFramework,
Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" from Version
"4.5.0.0" [] to Version "5.0.0.0"
[C:\Rhipheus\Cloudlene.Rhipheus\packages\EntityFramework.5.0.0\lib\net45\EntityFramework.dll]
to solve conflict and get rid of warning.
Same message but now the version reported is 4.5.0.0. I took the redirect up to 4.9.0.0 to no avail (same message with just the version's bumped matching my redirect).
Can someone point me to what I'm doing wrong? I appreciate in advance for not closing this as not constructive ;)
OK. Once I included 5.0.0.0, the warning went away. Guess, binding redirect must not only redirect older references but the 'primary reference' too.
<dependentAssembly>
<assemblyIdentity name="EntityFramework" publicKeyToken="b77a5c561934e089" />

Error Running Code Analysis in VS2012

I receive the following two errors when I try to compile my MVC4 web project:
CA0058 Error Running Code Analysis CA0058 : The referenced assembly 'DotNetOpenAuth.AspNet, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=2780ccd10d57b246' could not be found. This assembly is required for analysis and was referenced by: C:\Users\bflynn\Visual Studio Sites\mnp\bin\mnp.dll, C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft ASP.NET\ASP.NET Web Pages\v2.0\Assemblies\Microsoft.Web.WebPages.OAuth.dll. [Errors and Warnings] (Global)
and
CA0001 Error Running Code Analysis CA0001 : The following error was encountered while reading module 'Microsoft.Web.WebPages.OAuth': Assembly reference cannot be resolved: DotNetOpenAuth.AspNet, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=2780ccd10d57b246. [Errors and Warnings] (Global)
I recently added the DotNetOpenAuth.AspNet package to the application, and it seems tied to that. I have Cleaned, Rebuilt, Open/Closed the program, Uninstalled/Re-installed the package, yet the errors persists.
I just ran into this too.
Don't upgrade DOA to 4.1
It looks like the aspnet dll has a specific version referenced. Altough it's .nuspec file says 4.0+ is ok...
Solution:
Uninstall-Package -Force each DotNetOpenAuth package (core /aspnet /oauth/openid etc)
Install-Package DotNetOpenAuth.AspNet -Version 4.0.4.12182
I used this to resolve the issue:
1. Uninstall-Package Microsoft.AspNet.WebPages.OAuth –RemoveDependencies
2. Install-Package DotNetOpenAuth.AspNet -Version 4.0.4.12182
3. Install-Package Microsoft.AspNet.WebPages.OAuth
I ran into the same issue the other day and reported it http://aspnetwebstack.codeplex.com/workitem/443
Problem was reported on 21. september 2012. (http://aspnetwebstack.codeplex.com/workitem/443)
It was closed on 5. june 2013 with message:
The next version of MVC will not have a dependency on DotNetOpenAuth. Use the recommended workarounds below.
So I used the workaround https://stackoverflow.com/a/12847018/1016682
Code Analysis error Could not load file or assembly 'System.Net.Http, Version=2.0.0.0 in MVC4 Web API
See Yao's answer. The only solution I found that actually works for this.
I had the same issue. Though the code analysis issue got fixed, the web application wouldn't run because of the following error.
Could not load file or assembly 'DotNetOpenAuth.AspNet' or one of its dependencies. The located assembly's manifest definition does not match the assembly reference. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131040)
It turned that the web.config was not cleaned as part of the uninstall.
I had to remove the following dependentAssembly from web.config under the runtime/assemblyBinding section.
<runtime>
<assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">
<dependentAssembly>
