The type or namespace name 'Routing' does not exist in the namespace 'System.Web'

Question

Application is based on .NET 4.0 (Property window shows the same). I am trying to implement routing in ASP.NET Webforms. I added global.asax and trying to register routes. I tried adding below line to Glabal.asax

<%@ Import Namespace="System.Web.Routing" %>

It throws an error : The type or namespace name 'Routing' does not exist in the namespace 'System.Web' (are you missing an assembly reference?)

I'm not missing an assembly reference. I added reference to system.web(4.0) and system.web.routing(4.0) as well. Its still not working.

I don't know what is wrong here. Any help is appreciated

@Fred : Get from Nuget but what? Nuget doesnt show these assemblies. Would you please elaborate more on this? — user2645738, Jan 16 '18 at 11:19
Your right see this post https://stackoverflow.com/questions/29544547/which-nuget-package-contains-system-web-routing — Fred, Jan 16 '18 at 11:30
This should work in 4.0. Which version of Visual Studio you are using ? — Niko, Jan 16 '18 at 13:08

Simply add the reference from Assemblies:

As @Fred indicated, please see Which NuGet package contains System.Web.Routing?
