Answer 1

Sometimes the package version conflict becomes an issue where if you have the MVC package installed then it shows the namespace error.

Here is how I solved it:

• Open Package Manager Console (Tools > NuGet Package Manager > Package Manager Console)
• Type uninstall-package Microsoft.AspNet.Mvc
• Type install-package Microsoft.AspNet.Mvc

So this will give your package a fresh start, you will have all new MVC references and no errors.
