Answer 2

I have found a solution:

1. Close your Visual studio solution
2. Open your .csproj project header with notepad ++ for example.
3. Search for Tag in the section
4. Remove Config Tag completly
5. Open your solution and for me now debug works on my project

Answer 3

I had the same problem with my desktop application and as this forum says you should mark your project as a startup project, since visual studio has unmarked.

It worked just fine for me and I believe it will help other people that may have this problem.

Answer 4

Using Visual Studio 2017. Had dozen projects in a solution. Pressing debug would build with no error then do nothing.
Issue was one Project built to .Net 4.6 while the rest where .Net 4.0

Answer 5

I faced this problem. In my case, somehow the startup project entry got cleared. So, make sure atleast one among the projects in your solution explorer is set as the startup project. To set up a startup project, right click on the desired project in the solution explorer --> click "Set as Startup Project"

Answer 6

Before you go through an intense fix... try this!!!

1. Simply start the .exe file in your debug folder. "Do not close it!"

2. Start the debugger in Visual Studio. (i) An error should pop up... just say "no"

3. Close the ".exe" file you started in step "1."

4. Try again.

For some reason, visual studio was stuck on this app that i was building but this worked for me.
