The class name in the inherits attribute in the Global.asax (right click view markup) should match the class name and namespace in the Global.asax.cs

Right now you have

<%@ Application Codebehind="Global.asax.cs" 
                Inherits="SiteBuilderAzure_MVC_4.MvcApplication" Language="C#" %>

But I guess in your Global.asax.cs you have your MvcApplication in different namespace:

namespace SomeOtherNamespace
{
    public class MvcApplication : System.Web.HttpApplication
    {
    }
}

So just make sure that you use the correct MvcApplication namespace in your Inherits

I encountered this when the namespace of the MvcApplication had changed, but what is in the Global.asax didn't change.
