There are can be a couple of things that might be causing this problem. Here are the trouble shooting steps that helped me out:

Step 1 : Check to see if running visual studio in the elevated mode (Run as an Administrator) helped solve the problem. (Sometimes, your folder permissions might get mangled due to various softwares that you might have install)

Step 2 : Delete all the bin and obj folders in your project and rebuild the projects in your solution manually.

Step 3 : Do a quick check of your System Type (x64 or x86 etc) and see if your project is targeted for the same.

Here is how to do know your system type: Win + R > cmd > systeminfo

If it says x64, then make sure to select the Solution Platforms (In visual studios top action bar) as x64 or so forth depending on your architecture.

Thats all I did to solve my problem.
