Version Information: Microsoft .NET Framework Version:4.0.30319; ASP.NET Version:4.8.4330.0

Cause:

The Sitecore.Mvc dll from my Visual Studio project had overwritten the dll in the bin folder. Also, they were both different versions. So, I did the following:

1. Replaced the bin dll with the original version, you can get the dll from the bin folder of the relevant Sitcore version scwdp zip!

2. Ensure that your project references has the same version as what is deployed in the bin folder and set copy local to false for the dll so that future publish doesn't unnecessarily overwrite the bin folder dll



3. Publish the project to cross-check there is no overwrite if copy local is set to false
