C# – MVC3 Type exists in two different assemblies

asp.net-mvcasp.net-mvc-3c

I'm getting an error when I run my MVC3 application.

i:\Dev\mvc3Project\Views\Shared\EditorTemplates\SelectListEnum.cshtml(13): error CS0433: The type 'mvc3Project.UI.HtmlExtensions.HtmlAssist' exists in both 'c:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\Temporary ASP.NET Files\root\fcb9f71c\d519c72a\assembly\dl3\b333487e\ed66abf6_51decb01\mvc3Project.DLL' and 'c:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\Temporary ASP.NET Files\root\fcb9f71c\d519c72a\App_Code.tfh8pvp4.dll'

I have tried deleting all the files in Temporary ASP.NET files.

The following two threads haven't helped

Here is my web.config. It's actually the default one VS creates for you.

I don't have a copy of System.Web.Mvc in the bin folder either.

Any help would be appreciated.

If this is not working

Remove all bin folders and obj folders in your solution. And also remove the files in

c:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\Temporary ASP.NET Files\root\ path
