added following references

dd the following references to the project:

Microsoft.Web.Infrastructure
System.Web.Razor
System.Web.WebPages.Razor
System.Web.WebPages.Deployment

Set the property Copy Local to True for the following references:

System.Web.Helpers
System.Web.MVC
System.Web.WebPages
Microsoft.Web.Infrastructure
System.Web.Razor
System.Web.WebPages.Razor
System.Web.WebPages.Deployment

Some web servers (such as certain cloud or virtual servers) don't include all the components of the ASP/.NET framework. You therefore need to set Copy Local = True for all your references so that these are copied across when you publish/deploy
