since working with Visual Studio 2012 RC we get an HttpCompileException when using a class out of an portable class library (.net 4.5 & metro profile) within a razor view.
Exception: (german to english translated on google, sorry)
System.Web.HttpCompileException (0x80004005):
c:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Temp\Temporary ASP.NET
Files\root\1995167a\126b7c4d\App_Web_index.cshtml.1fbcdbb1.zaniprm5.0.cs(29):
error CS0012: The type 'System.Object' is not in a referenced assembly is

Solution structure:
- Portable Class Library (.net 4.5 & metro profile)
- public class User { ... }
- MVC 4 (.net 4.5)
- Reference to Portable Class Library
- Razor-View
- @model User
Since Visual Studio 2012 RC adding reference "System.Runtime" is not possible any more.
