Answer 1

You should go to

%APPDATA%\Local\Microsoft\Visual Studio\<version>

and delete the ComponentModelChache directory.

Answer 2

I was getting this error when trying to select records in my SQL server management studio:

Error: "The Visual Studio component cache is out of date. Please restart Visual Studio. (Microsoft.VisualStudio.ExtensibilityHosting)"

I restarted Visual Studio but got same error.

And deleted all the files inside that folder and restarted both VS and SQL server. IT WORKED!
