ASP.NET Web API conflict after installing VS 2012 Ultimate - asp.net-mvc-4

I installed asp.net mvc-4 beta a while ago to host our api. It worked fine until I just installed vs2012 ultimate on my machine. The project is neither compiling in vs2010 nor in vs2012. What can I do to resolve this conflict. Furthermore, I bin deployed asp.net web api assemblies on my server. What I have to do to run the latest build (once the previous problem is solved) on server?
Edit:
The compilation errors when I open in vs2012 are
'System.Net.Http.HttpRequestMessage' does not contain a definition for 'GetUserPrincipal' and no extension method 'GetUserPrincipal'...
'System.Web.Http.Hosting.HttpPropertyKeys' does not contain a definition for 'UserPrincipalKey'
In vs 2010 on the other hand, it refuses to accept types like DelegatingHandler and others. Some errors are as follows.
The type or namespace name 'DelegatingHandler' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
The type or namespace name 'HttpResponseMessage' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
I have installed the latest build of asp.net mvc 4 as well and the version its showing me is 4.0.20713.0. Previously, I added web-api beta using nuget. I have removed them all and installed latest builds of web-api from nuget. I don't know what could be the problem. One thing, I don't understand: why do I need to install web-api assemblies seprately when they are supposedly part of mvc framework?
thanks

Add using System.ServiceModel.Channels; to your file. The Extension methods for HttpRequestMessage exist in this namespace according to THIS.

add
using System.Net.Http;
You probably have the reference already, so just add the using for the extension method.
Otherwise add the Assembly of the same name.

Cant add standard .Net references to project

How to add standard .Net references such as
using System.Drawing;
using System.Drawing.Drawing2D;
using System.Drawing.Imaging;
When trying
using (System.Drawing.Image I)
I get the error
Severity Description File Line
Error The type name 'Image' could not be found in the namespace 'System.Drawing'. This type has been forwarded to assembly 'System.Drawing.Common, Version=0.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=cc7b13ffcdxxxxx' Consider adding a reference to that assembly.
When going into reference VS 2018 wants me to point to the DLL File.
Its really frustrating. This is a Asp.NetCore MVC web based project.
System.Drawing is incompatible with .NET Core, because it uses Windows-specific APIs not available in .NET Core. Microsoft has since released System.Drawing.Common, which is a NuGet package that provides a similar API to the old System.Drawing but uses cross-platform APIs. To make this truly a drop-in replacement, the System.Drawing namespace now forwards to System.Drawing.Common, so older code could work without change.
Long and short, you need to add the System.Drawing.Common NuGet package to your project.

System.Web.ApplicationServices in .NET Core 2

I'm building a Web API in .NET Core 2. I'm using some custom nuget packages to leverage their built in functionality. These custom packages were built against an older .NET version (4.6.1). The problem is some of these packages have references to the old System.Web dll. I'm getting this warning on some of the custom packages in the solution
package was restored using '.net framework version=v4.6.1 instead of using the proj target framework.
The app is also throwing this exception below when I call code in one of the custom packages
System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly System.Web.ApplicationServices, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral,The system cannot find the file specified
Is there any way around this other than re-writing the code in my web Api?
No. System.Web is completely incompatible with Core. While Microsoft opened up NuGet packages that target .NET Framework to be utilized in with .NET Core, it did so based only on .NET Standard 2.0 compatibility, and makes no assurances that the packages will function in part or whole. You'll actually get a warning during compile telling you as much. Also, while you can actually have something like an ASP.NET Core app actually target .NET Framework, again, compatibility of third-party components is not guaranteed, simply because they target the same framework.
Long and short, if there's any dependency on System.Web at all, you can't use it.

Getting error in umbraco The type or namespace name 'Umbraco' could not be found

The type or namespace name 'Umbraco' could not be found (are you
missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
I am getting this error when I am inheriting my controller from
Umbraco.Web.Mvc.RenderMvcController
I have checked that umbraco.dll is referenced when I install umbraco from NuGet in Visual Studio 2012.
Intellisense allow me to select this reference but when I compile code it throw this exception like below screen explains it.
All other umbraco is working nice I have designs some static views, master pages, macros etc. all working fine.
In case of Umbraco.
my application was on .Net FrameWork 4.0
umbraco previous version was using .Net FrameWork 4.0
so i was try to use new release of Umbraco 7.0.1 on same FrameWork 4.0 after reading an post i check for .Net Framework for new release i found that was on .Net FrameWork 4.5 so i upgraded my application to 4.5 it resolve the issue.
thanks to everyone who visit to this post.

Issues while upgrading System.Web.Extensions dll reference from 3.5 to 4.0

I need to migrate a website built on .net framework 3.5 to 4.0 and it should work fine in IE9
The solution got upgraded by the VS's version utility and the app compiled successfully. We are using Infragistics UltraWebGrid control v11.1 which is giving some script issue when we try to perform scroll or cell edit. The control has got lot of embedded javascript resource files which seems to be not working fine.
I created a poc website of .net framework 4.0 using the same third party dlls and everything works fine. What I can doubt on is the AJAX part. I tried to consume v4.0 of ajaxcontroltoolkit. But the issue what I am facing is, the toolkit internally references System.Web.Extensions.dll of version 4.0 and my application has many references to the dll of v3.5. Adding the reference to v4.0 doesn't replaces the references to v3.5 in the web.config. Finally I manually updated the version info in web.config which has given birth to other errors.
-Unknown server tag 'asp:ScriptManager','asp:UpdatePanel' etc..
-The type or namespace name 'Script' does not exist in the namespace 'System.Web' (are you missing an assembly reference?)
Please give me some suggestions to upgrade the dll references successfully.
Thanks,

Error whilst publishing Sitefinity4 project

I'm trying to deploy a Sitefinity 4 project. I have the main web app project, and two external class libraries. I've tried to publish, and ive tried using a web deployment project, however both times it complains about missing references, like:
The type or namespace name 'Sitefinity' does not exist in the namespace 'Telerik' (are you missing an assembly reference?)
It is always referring to a line of code in one of the class libraries. Do i need to add the assemblies to the app.config file?
Any ideas greatly appreciated.
Josh recently wrote two blog posts for installing Sitefinity on IIS. Maybe those could help you. Depending on whether you are deploying on IIS6 or IIS7:
