Could not load file or assembly System.Web.Mvc, Version=3.0.0.1

Could not load file or assembly 'System.Web.Mvc, Version=3.0.0.1;Could not load file or assembly 'System.Web.Mvc, Version=3.0.0.1, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified;

Error:

System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'System.Web.Mvc, Version=3.0.0.1, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified

Solution:

• Remove the MVC reference and add the correct reference to the project
• Change the Copy Local property of the reference to true
• Update the bindingRedirect setting in web.config as below

web.config runtime section:

<runtime>

<assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">

<dependentAssembly>

<assemblyIdentity name="System.Web.Mvc" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" />

<bindingRedirect oldVersion="1.0.0.0-3.0.0.0" newVersion="3.0.0.1" />

</dependentAssembly>

Change the Copy Local setting will include the System.Web.MVC.dll file in the bin folder when you publish the project, so that it works even if the server is not updated with the new version.

I encountered the below error while compiling the project.

Solution:

Try installing the PagedList.MVC NuGet package for your project.
You could use the following steps to do so :

Right-click your Project within the Solution Explorer

• Choose the "Manage NuGet Packages" option that appears
• Search for "PagedList.MVC" within the search box
• Click "Install" on the first option that appears : 

This should add all of the appropriate references that you need. You'll then just need to add the appropriate using statements within your code (generally, you could right-click on the ToPagedList() method and choose the "Resolve..." option to do this automatically).
