Answer 1

In the References i found that System.Web.WebPages.dll version 3.0.11001.0 shows this type of error, but when i replace it with System.Web.WebPages.dll version 3.0.20129.0 it works. So Simply you should delete the old one from refrences and download the other version and than clean solution, rebuild and it will work.
