ASP.NET MVC Custom controller not working - asp.net

Question

I have a Project called Project.Web which contains a folder Mvc which includes a base controller called BaseController.cs.
namespace ProsecVHIPHelper.Web.Mvc
{
/// <summary>
/// A base controller for all controllers
/// </summary>
public abstract class BaseController : Controller
{
/// <summary>
/// Constructor
/// </summary>
/// <param name="applicationContext"></param>
protected BaseController(ApplicationContext applicationContext)
{
if (applicationContext == null) throw new ArgumentNullException("applicationContext");
ApplicationContext = applicationContext;
}
/// <summary>
/// Default constructor
/// </summary>
protected BaseController() : this(ApplicationContext.Current) { }
/// <summary>
/// The application context
/// </summary>
public ApplicationContext ApplicationContext
{
get;
private set;
}
/// <summary>
/// Get the services singleton
/// </summary>
public ServiceContext Services
{
get { return ApplicationContext.Services; }
}
}
}
This base controller will be used by all of my other controllers.
In my second project called Project.Web.UI I have a route config like:
public class RouteConfig
{
public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
{
routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");
routes.MapRoute(
name: "Default",
url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
defaults: new { controller = "Ftp", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional },
namespaces: new[] { "Project.Web.Mvc" }
);
}
}
Where I include the base controller namespace.
But when I create new controllers using my base controller I always get a 404 not found exception.
When I use the default Controller class then it works.
First my controllers where located in the Project.Web project in a folder called Controllers. When I add this namespace also in the route config it doesn't work.
Then I moved these controllers ( not the base controller ) to my other project Project.Web.UI, but still no luck.
The Project.Web project is a class library and the Project.Web.UI is a web project.
Any ideas?

Ok I have found the solution. The problem was that I have added the System.Web.Mvc using the add reference. But this had a different version from the System.Web.Mvc in my web project.
After removing this reference and added a reference to the dll in the web project, everything worked like a charm!
