Parse Error ViewMasterPage<TModel>

I am trying to implement a strongly typed master page and using this page as an example:

How to create a strongly typed master page using a base controller in ASP.NET MVC

I have the following declaration in my masterpage:

<%@ Master Language="C#" Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewMasterPage<InsTech.ForeSight.Web.Mvc.ModelBase>" %>

When I try to run I get: Parser Error Message: Could not load type 'System.Web.Mvc.ViewMasterPage<InsTech.ForeSight.Web.Mvc.ModelBase>'

I am not really sure why it can't find the type. When I use the ViewMasterPage class everything is okay, but when I try to use the generic version it bombs.

Any Suggestions

I got this error when my MVC Master page was outside the 'Views' folder (with my normal Web forms master pages), moving it there solved this error for me.

Edit: Sorry I didn't see @Whoiskb already posted the same answer in the comments up there. Just leaving this answer for people who don't read all the comments :)

Is InsTech.ForeSight.Web.Mvc.ModelBase in another assembly? if so, is it referenced?

Is InsTech.ForeSight.Web.Mvc.ModelBase abstract?
