title: Could not load type 'System.Web.Mvc.ViewPage'
body: <p>I know there are already many questions asked on this topic and they all have answered. But even though I am trying to implement the answer in my case, it is turning out to be futile.</p>
  
  <p>I am trying to develop an MVC application without using the template. I created a simple web application and then added folders as per MVC template. I have a controller, a model and view for the controller.</p>
  
  <p>In View, I have the following as my first line </p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;%@ Page Language="C#" Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewPage&lt;MVCWithoutTemplate.Models.User&gt;"  %&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When I am trying to run it, I am getting error as -</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p><strong>Description</strong>: An error occurred during the parsing of a resource required to service this request. Please review the following specific

  <p>It is still giving same error. </p>
  
  <p>Can anyone tell me why?</p>
