I was recently working with a solution in Visual Studio 2015, when I suddenly encountered the following error message while attempting to build my project/solution:
No matter how many times I attempted to build my project or solution, I kept on receiving this error message!!
Finally, I closed my Visual Studio 2015 IDE and re-opened it and then tried to compile my solution and I was able to successfully compile again!!
I am not sure if this is an innate defect with Visual Studio 2015 or the Jetbrains Resharper Add-In I had installed, but if you encounter this error message, now you know a simple workaround!!
Hopefully this issue will be resolved in a future Update release!!

I experienced the same - thanks a lot - your workaround works!

Same problem here. I wish that message would come with extended error information so we have a better idea of what is going wrong. I hate the "restart your computer" strategies for troubleshooting software.
ReplyDeleteMaybe I'll attach a debugger and see what the first-chance exception looks like...
Same problem here, same solution. VS2015 14.0.2472.00 update 1 + ReSharper ultimate 10.0.2 (+ a bunch of other stuff). Useless error message from a programmer looking for the easy way out. "The parameter is incorrect." Obviously, the parameter's name plus its bad value was available, not to mention a description of the operation being attempted. But, hey, MessageBox.
ReplyDeleteIt is still with us in VS 2015 Update 2.
ReplyDeleteI have to believe we are the unfortunate few to have corrupted installations or something. I can't see the programmers at Microsoft putting up with this either. I have no VS addins other than Infragistics and whatever is installed in the Visual Studio setup (Xamarin, etc).
Two tips:
ReplyDelete1.) Look in the file: C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\14.0\ComponentModelCache\Microsoft.VisualStudio.Default.err - it can give you a hint of whats wrong. (My error was caused by Telerik JustMock) + some azure-stuff which needed to be updated.
2.) Delete the .vs-folder in your solution.
I will not guarantee that the error disappaer - but it helped me out.
Thank you, this was super helpful!
