Reference Microsoft.AspNet.Mvc package from Class library

Question

I have a class library project created with Visual Studio 2015. I tried to add the package Microsoft.AspNet.Mvc to my project with NuGet. That worked out fine a you can see from the screenshot.

But whenever I try to use the Microsoft.AspNet.Mvc namespace in my project, it complains that it cannot find the given namespace.

The type or namespace name AspNet does not exist in the namespace 'Microsoft'

But it's clearly referenced in my project... Anyone any idea what the problem is?

Are you on Visual Studio 2015 RTM? Your references are out of date. — Dealdiane

@opiants No, I installed the visual studio community edition. — Vivendi

Ok but is it the release version or beta? If you go Help > About Microsoft Visual Studio, what version does it say? — Dealdiane

Change your class library to be a project.json (i.e. MyClassLib.xproj) and then reference Microsoft.AspNet.Mvc 6.0.0-*.

I'm not sure a csproj class library project can consume MVC 6.
