There is a good chance that one of the following nuget packages  hasn't been updated properly.

  • Glass.Mapper.Sc.Core
  • Microsoft.AspNet.Mvc
  • Microsoft.AspNet.Razor
  • Microsoft.AspNet.WebPages

It happens when you have few projects in solution and you have forgotten to update all the projects to use same version.
the easiest way is to right click on solution and select "Manage NuGet packages for solution..." then look into consolidate tab.
