The type or namespace name 'Umbraco' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

I am getting this error when I am inheriting my controller from

Umbraco.Web.Mvc.RenderMvcController

I have checked that umbraco.dll is referenced when I install umbraco from NuGet in Visual Studio 2012.

Intellisense allow me to select this reference but when I compile code it throw this exception like below screen explains it.

All other umbraco is working nice I have designs some static views, master pages, macros etc. all working fine.
