" i m getting error." - those things usually contain useful information - even if you can't understand it, others may - so care to add the details? Also, just to check, you are aware of the difference between references and using directives, aren't you? — Damien_The_Unbeliever

It's obsolete in ASP.NET MVC 4

You can get what you need from nuget:

Install-Package Microsoft.AspNet.Web.Optimization

Just for clarity, for those who are migrating legacy websites to the latest VS, after adding Microsoft.AspNet.Web.Optimization package, you would then invoke the BundleTable, StyleBundle and ScriptBundle classes by using the full path of System.Web.Optimization.xxxxx ("xxxxx" being BundleTable, etc..).
