Answer 1

@Flowerking's commend did it for me.

Right click on you project and select "Set as StartUp Project".

Answer 2

Just delete the .vs hidden folder. This folder resides at the same location where the sln file is. Deleting this folder also refreshes intellisense cache and would fix any issues with that. Hope this helps.

Answer 3

Had the Same Issue with the existing application, I deleted the vs settings but still the issue remained,

Finally i just restarted the VS and it worked fine.

I think sometimes when we load the project some library doesn't get loaded with the solution so the best option before doing anything is simply restarting the VS.

Answer 4

Just restart your visual studio and run as admin.
