Since normally you create an MVC project the Global.asax markup has something like the following:

<%@ Application Codebehind="Global.asax.cs" Inherits="StackOverflow.MvcApplication" Language="C#" %>

Have you placed the Global.asax.cs in another project? If you have remove the CodeBehind="..." declaration from Global.asax and change the Inherits="..." declaration to reference the correct namespace and classname as it is defined in Global.asax.cs file.

If you haven't moved it try a Clean and then Rebuild of the Project in Visual Studio using the context Menu on the Web project. That worked for me when I got this error.
