Umbraco: Could not load type 'Umbraco.Web.UmbracoApplication'

I've downloaded Umbraco, connected to a database and installed a sample site but when I try to run in Visual Studio, I get this error:

Could not load type 'Umbraco.Web.UmbracoApplication'.

Any ideas?

You are possibly missing a reference. Also - I found this happens in my version 7.2.4 too.

Check that the install completes - especially if you installed with NuGet. Sometimes powershell doesn't work and the installation is not completed. Look for yellow text during installation. If this fails, try an older version.
