Error replacing System.Web.WebPages dll with my version - asp.net-mvc-3

I had to make some changes to the ASP.NET MVC System.Web.Webpages dll. But when I replace the dll it throws me this error.
The type 'System.Web.WebPages.WebPageBase' is defined in an assembly
that is not referenced. You must add a reference to assembly
'System.Web.WebPages, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35'.

I had the same problem,
I eventually solved it by following the advice here.
And adding the following to my web.config
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
<!-- … -->
<system.web>
<!-- … -->
<compilation debug="true" targetFramework="4.0">
<assemblies>
<add assembly="System.Web.Mvc, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35, processorArchitecture=MSIL" />
<add assembly="System.Web.Abstractions, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" />
<add assembly="System.Web.Routing, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" />
<add assembly="System.Web.WebPages, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35, processorArchitecture=MSIL" />
</assemblies>
</compilation>
<!-- … -->
</system.web>
<!-- … -->
</configuration>

I found that the "copy Local" to true for the referenced "System.Web.Webpages" DLL helped in my case. I also had to do the same to some of the other DLLs as well.

I got this error too when I was moving around directories within TFS. I fixed this error by opening NuGet and updating the MVC framework that was refererenced in all the DLLs.

VS 2010 misses "Microsoft.ReportViewer.Common Version=8.0.0.0" when running with SSRS 2012

Our project is built with VS 2010 and reports are built with SSRS 2005 and it works just fine, in this environment.
We are trying to migrate to SSRS 2012. In run time we get this error
'Microsoft.ReportViewer.Common, Version=8.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
I copied the file "MicrosoftReportViewerCommon.dll" to the bin folder, but its version is 10.0.x.x. I don't know how to find version 8.0.0.0.
I don't know exactly what we should do. Is it supposed to add this file to the project? Or the references in the project should be changed to refer to another file version?? And how this should be done??
In the web form we have this line of code:
<%# Register Assembly="Microsoft.ReportViewer.WebForms, Version=8.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" Namespace="Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms" TagPrefix="rsweb" %>
and in web.config:
<system.web>
<httpHandlers>
<add path="Reserved.ReportViewerWebControl.axd" verb="*" type="Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms.HttpHandler, Microsoft.ReportViewer.WebForms, Version=8.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a"
validate="false" />
</httpHandlers>
......
</system.web>
<system.webServer>
<handlers>
<add name="ReportViewerWebControlHandler" preCondition="integratedMode" verb="*" path="Reserved.ReportViewerWebControl.axd" type="Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms.HttpHandler, Microsoft.ReportViewer.WebForms, Version=10.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" />
</handlers>
</system.webServer>
Any help is appreciated.
After 2 days of searching the web, I figured out how to overcome this error.
I had to install ReportViewer 2005, and this installer will register “Microsoft.ReportViewer.Common Version=8.0.0.0” in GAC automatically.
I've been told that is not a good practice and it is just a workaround, because the project is not running using the most updated controls and it is still using the old ones.
For now the project is working fine, but I hope some body provide me with a real solution.
I had a similar problem and found I needed three files:
Microsoft.ReportViewer.Common.dll
Microsoft.ReportViewer.ProcessingObjectModel.dll
Microsoft.ReportViewer.WebForms.dll
And the config file looked like this:
<assemblies>
<add assembly="System.Core, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=B77A5C561934E089" />
<add assembly="System.Web.Extensions, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" />

Compilation Error: "higher version than referenced assembly "

I got error on my view page so I updated my visual studio to mvc4, though I am working on mvc3. I 1st updated using NuGet but it don't works so, I updated through standalone MVC4. so it worked. But when I tried to run MVC3 project it gives me following Error:
CS1705: Assembly 'MVC3Project, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=null' uses 'System.Web.Mvc, Version=4.0.0.0,
Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' which has a higher
version than referenced assembly 'System.Web.Mvc, Version=3.0.0.0,
Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35'
Can anyone help me with this?
Inside the web.config file in the Views folder there is the host element under system.web.webPages.razor
This should be as follows for an MVC3 project:
<host factoryType="System.Web.Mvc.MvcWebRazorHostFactory, System.Web.Mvc, Version=3.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" />
While for MVC4 it is:
<host factoryType="System.Web.Mvc.MvcWebRazorHostFactory, System.Web.Mvc, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" />
You also need to check the pages element is as follows for MVC3
<pages
validateRequest="false"
pageParserFilterType="System.Web.Mvc.ViewTypeParserFilter, System.Web.Mvc, Version=3.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35"
pageBaseType="System.Web.Mvc.ViewPage, System.Web.Mvc, Version=3.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35"
userControlBaseType="System.Web.Mvc.ViewUserControl, System.Web.Mvc, Version=3.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35">
<controls>
<add assembly="System.Web.Mvc, Version=3.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" namespace="System.Web.Mvc" tagPrefix="mvc" />
</controls>
</pages>
and the sectionGroup element:
<sectionGroup name="system.web.webPages.razor" type="System.Web.WebPages.Razor.Configuration.RazorWebSectionGroup, System.Web.WebPages.Razor, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35">
<section name="host" type="System.Web.WebPages.Razor.Configuration.HostSection, System.Web.WebPages.Razor, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" requirePermission="false" />
<section name="pages" type="System.Web.WebPages.Razor.Configuration.RazorPagesSection, System.Web.WebPages.Razor, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" requirePermission="false" />
</sectionGroup>
In the main web.config in the root directory of the project you need to make sure that the assemblies element is as follows:
<assemblies>
<add assembly="System.Web.Abstractions, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" />
<add assembly="System.Web.Helpers, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" />
<add assembly="System.Web.Routing, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" />
<add assembly="System.Web.Mvc, Version=3.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" />
<add assembly="System.Web.WebPages, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" />
</assemblies>
There are more changes to make - best bet is to look at the web.config files for an MVC3 project and an MVC4 project and remove the stuff that shouldn't be there in yours.
I had the exact same problem with a later version of MVC. After I updated all my packages through Nugget, the problem is resolved.
The following worked for me
Install-Package Microsoft.AspNet.Web.Optimization
The worked solution for me i deleted the reference in project which gives error.
Reinstall that again with right click project -> add references --> search the name of Assembly then add that again.
for this question you have to delete System.Web.Mvc under first project references and click project -> add references --> Search System.Web.Mvc (you will see that is 4.0.0.0 now) install it.
you can download System.Web.Mvc.dll with version that you are looking for then :
Reference -> add ->browse and select ur file.
this solution worked for me !!
Good luck

MVC 3 assembly conflict How to

Every time I download some open source or paid MVC3 app I get some assembly conflicts, ie: missing assemblies, wrong versions etc. So I figure I should ask a more general question:
In a typical project you have a folder called References and all assemblies seem to be in that folder, with their version numbers and Copy To Local options etc.
However out of the 10-20 references in that folder I often find just a few in the web.config.
I the latest case of this annoying mixup I have in web.config:
<compilation debug="false" targetFramework="4.0">
<assemblies>
<add assembly="System.Web.Abstractions, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" />
<add assembly="System.Web.Helpers, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" />
<add assembly="System.Web.Routing, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" />
<add assembly="System.Web.Mvc, Version=3.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" />
<add assembly="System.Web.WebPages, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" />
</assemblies>
</compilation>
I get an error that project trying to load System.Web.Helpers, Version=1.0.0.0 - it's not found.
In the References folder the System.Web.Helpers referenced is version 2.0.0 and it's not possible to change this version number as it's greyed out. Changing to Specific Version doesn't change anything.
Question:
Why are there the 4 references in Web.config? Why not just the references folder?
Why do i often find a partial number of assembly tags in web.config instead of none or alternatively all the references seen under the References project folder?
Thanks,
Maybe try to re-install MVC3? Those references in the Web.config are ok, as they should be...
Here is my Web.config, in that part....
<add assembly="System.Web.Abstractions, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" />
<add assembly="System.Web.Routing, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" />
<add assembly="System.Web.Mvc, Version=3.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" />
<add assembly="System.Web.Helpers, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" />
<add assembly="System.Web.WebPages, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" />

Installed MVC 4 Beta, now my MVC 3 projects throw an error when I rebuild all

I just installed MVC 4 Beta, and now my MVC 3 projects (that I haven't converted yet to 4) are throwing an error when I rebuild all:
Error 18 [A]System.Web.WebPages.Razor.Configuration.HostSection cannot be cast to [B]System.Web.WebPages.Razor.Configuration.HostSection. Type A originates from 'System.Web.WebPages.Razor, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' in the context 'Default' at location 'C:\Windows\Microsoft.Net\assembly\GAC_MSIL\System.Web.WebPages.Razor\v4.0_1.0.0.0__31bf3856ad364e35\System.Web.WebPages.Razor.dll'.

Has anyone come across this yet? Thanks!
I've spent the entire day trying to fix this, and after an afternoon systematically ripping EVERYTHING out of my project except one basic view and one basic controller it was still throwing this error. So I started deleting other stuff and found there was a rogue Web.Config file in my Views folder that had MVC 3 stuff in it.
Search your project for other Web.Config files!!!
I had the same issue, and was able to solve it as follows:
Remove the assembly System.Web.WebPages.Razor from the project references.
Press Save All on the solution
Add the assembly again, make sure you select version 1.0.0.0. Select True for Specific Version in the reference properties.
I got an solution for this:
You need to add this to your mvc 3 web.config:
<configSections>
<sectionGroup name="system.web.webPages.razor" type="System.Web.WebPages.Razor.Configuration.RazorWebSectionGroup, System.Web.WebPages.Razor, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35">

<add namespace="System.Web.Helpers" />
<add namespace="System.Web.WebPages" />
<!-- Your namespace here -->
</namespaces>
</pages>
</system.web.webPages.razor>
And also copy the binfiles from
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft ASP.NET\ASP.NET MVC 3\Assemblies
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft ASP.NET\ASP.NET Web Pages\v1.0\Assemblies
to your project binfolder
If you need deploy your mvc 4 project on a server that you dont have installed mvc 4 on you need to the same but change version from 1.0.0.0 to 2.0.0.0 in the section part.
Good luck!
The steps to fix this issue
First find all web.config files in whole project
In all web.config file, find the given 'cannot be cast' error code and change version 2.0.0.0 in configSections of all web.config files
System.Web.WebPages.Razor.Configuration.HostSection
again if the error comes then find that error code and change the version 2.0.0.0 in all web.config files. repeat the process until fix the version related issues.
When you install MVC4, your mvc3 projects will point to system.web.webpages ver 2.0..
For you MVC3 projects, Remove the reference to system.web.webpages ver 2.0.. and add a reference back to system.web.webpages ver 1.0..
Recompile and redeploy and it should work again...
Not sure why it does that, but it's still a beta install
Just in case someone else runs into this same problem. It looks like there are a few different things that can cause this particular error. This is the best description of what is causing the error that I've found. In my specific case, I added a reference to a library via NuGet, and it looks as if a specific reference to System.Web.WebPages was added to my project. I removed this reference, rebuilt, and everything was good to go.
Good luck to others with similar problems!
Make sure that the references to System.Web.WebPages is 2.0.0.0 in root/Web.config and root/Views/Web.config
If every thing is pointing to version 2 then verify if you have the directory "_bin_deployableAssemblies".
If you have it, then right click on your project and choose the option "Add Deployable Dependencies..." then check MVC and Razor options to update your DLLs.
Might help someone:
Added correct version of DLL conlfic between razor 1.0 and 2.0
Modified the web.config file where it says 3.0 to 4.0 and 1.0 to 2.0 only for MVC and razor
Another web.config hidden under view that also need to be modified.
Above three steps helped to resolve the issue.
The problem it's that you may have another web.config in the Views directory that have recerences pointing to the old asemblies. When the project loads, It tries to load both versions and then fails.
Try to also correct the versions on the "View's" web.config.
For the oncoming, like me.
That looks like you may have to update some of the assembly data in your web.config.
It looks Like We need to change the version number, if we upgrade to mvc4 from mvc3.
I just changed the webconfig, which is in Views Folder.... Need to change the version number

Godaddy hosting server error

I am trying to host my website in godaddy its MVC3 .net website after copying deployed version in the server i get the following error:
CS0234: The type or namespace name 'Helpers' does not exist in the namespace 'System.Web'
Source Error:
Line 33: <pages controlRenderingCompatibilityVersion="3.5" clientIDMode="AutoID">

Any suggestions?
Make sure that the System.Web.Helpers assembly is registered in the <assemblies> section:
<compilation debug="true" targetFramework="4.0">
<assemblies>
<add assembly="System.Web.Abstractions, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" />

<add assembly="System.Web.WebPages, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" />
</assemblies>
</compilation>
Also contact your hosting provider to ensure that he has ASP.NET MVC 3 installed and that those assemblies are available in the GAC. If this is not the case you may try to bin deploy your ASP.NET MVC 3 application.
