Answer 1

I tried all the above solutions none of them worked for me. However, when I deleted the bin and object folders in visual studio and run again, it start to work.

Answer 2

I had to uncheck "Enable Native Edit and Continue" in Tools -> Options -> Debugging -> General:

Answer 3

For me this was caused by Nuget failing to download a package (built for Net Framework) to a Net Standard project that was being referenced. Nuget entered an infinite loop (look in the output window).

The solution was to turn off the 'automatic package restore' setting see: https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/content/problem/26638/nuget-infinite-loop.html

to access this setting Tools > Options > NuGet Package Manager > General

Answer 4

What worked for me was similar but not exactly like the accepted answer. I had an anonymous type created as a result of a LINQ query; i.e.

var thingy = (from thing in things select new { thing.Property1, thing.Property2 }).First();

When I changed the anonymous type to a tuple, the problem went away:

var (thing1, thing2) = (from thing in things select (thing.Property1, thing.Property2)).First();

Answer 5

In VS 2015 this error was caused by a nuGet package I had recently installed. By uninstalling this package and reinstalling, the bug was fixed.

Answer 6

working with VS2017 community I had this aggravating problem: if you port an existing project the tag EmbedInteropTypes may not be in the .csproj file yet, a search is futile. If that's the case, add the tag at the end to the property group Debug|x86 (or whichever you use) to the .csproj with a text editor:

before:

  <PropertyGroup Condition=" '$(Configuration)|$(Platform)' == 'Debug|x86' ">
    <DebugSymbols>true</DebugSymbols>
    <OutputPath>bin\x86\Debug\</OutputPath>
    <DefineConstants>DEBUG;TRACE</DefineConstants>
    <DocumentationFile>bin\Debug\MyProject.XML</DocumentationFile>
    <DebugType>full</DebugType>
    <PlatformTarget>x86</PlatformTarget>
    <ErrorReport>prompt</ErrorReport>
    <Prefer32Bit>false</Prefer32Bit>
  </PropertyGroup>

after:

  <PropertyGroup Condition=" '$(Configuration)|$(Platform)' == 'Debug|x86' ">
    <DebugSymbols>true</DebugSymbols>
    <OutputPath>bin\x86\Debug\</OutputPath>
    <DefineConstants>DEBUG;TRACE</DefineConstants>
    <DocumentationFile>bin\Debug\MyProject.XML</DocumentationFile>
    <DebugType>full</DebugType>
    <PlatformTarget>x86</PlatformTarget>
    <ErrorReport>prompt</ErrorReport>
    <Prefer32Bit>false</Prefer32Bit>
    <EmbedInteropTypes>false</EmbedInteropTypes>
  </PropertyGroup>

This must be done with all projects that belong to the solution!
