    Check out with follwing solution:

    1. Delete the bin and obj folders, run a Clean Solution and built it again, the error goes away.

    2. check the Application Pool the site is running under to make sure the Application Pool is using the .NET 4.0 Framework (instead of .NET 2.0 Framework).
