OneDrive - Visual Studio 2019 - Couldn't process file Form1.resx due to its being in the Internet or Restricted zone

I created a new project with Visual Studio 2019, in Form1 I placed a ImageList component with one image.
The project builds fine.
When I copied the project from the local folder to any OneDrive folder I get the error:
Couldn't process file Form1.resx due to its being in the Internet or
Restricted zone or having the mark of the web on the file. Remove the
mark of the web if you want to process these files.
If I delete the image from the imageList1 Images collection the project builds again.
I tried answers from similar questions with no luck:
The file Form1.resx it does not have the "Unblock" option
In Visual Studio / Tools / Options / Environment / Trust Settings, I added the OneDrive folder:
C:\Users\[my user name]\OneDrive\Documents\OneDrive
In Visual Studio / Tools / Options / Environment / Web Browser / Internet Explorer Options...
Security / Trusted sites / Sites, I added the websites:
file://[my computer name]https://onedrive.live.com
I have Visual Studio 2019 version 16.8.1, Windows 10 version 1909.
The project builds fine with Visual Studio 2013.
Any new ideas?
I finally made it work doing something I couldn't find anywhere in StackOverflow.
I found out the issue was with the embedded base64 image I had in the .resx (as the issue went away removing the data tag as explained in https://stackoverflow.com/a/53095311/15001063 bu that meant I removed the image) so I converted the embedded image into a .png file and made a link to that in the .resx.
To do that: open the .resx file in Visual Studio 2019 and double-click the image, and then click Ok and Yes in the following prompts that will appear so VS will convert the embedded image into a linked resource:
Hope it helps!

Is it possible to open a project with Visual Studio from different machines?

Earlier I asked a question, which has now been deleted. It was asked me of to come up with some different wording to my question. I'm sorry, but in this case I don't know how better to ask it then I have. Here's what I said:
At work I've got a desktop with Windows 10 on it. Been working there
for 3 years. We using TFS 2015 with TFVC. Recently I was given a
laptop, but without enough disk space, so what I have done is on the
laptop I mapped a drive to the second drive on my desktop, where I
keep all of the Visual Studio projects I work on, that are in TFS. I
had hoped I could just open the project on the mapped drive from the
laptop to the D: drive on the desktop. But VS complained to me. So, is
it not possible to open the same project, on only 1 machine, but being
accessed both on the machine and by a mapped drive from another
machine?
Perhaps it would be best if I illustrated. On my desktop I have a project in my D: drive, so it's located in D:\Src\LRAT. Its in TFS 2015 and we're using TFVC on-premise.
On my laptop I've mapped the drive from the desktop, using D: on the laptop, as D was available. So, I get into VS 2017 on the laptop and try to open the project in D:\Src\LRAT on my laptop. However, trying to do that results in a warning message issued from Visual Studio (the complaint I mentioned earlier) which says:
Team Foundation Server Version Control
The solution you are opening is bound to source control on the
following Team Foundation Server:
http://ourserver:8080/tfs/defaultcollection. Would you like to contact
this server to try and enable source control integration?
This confuses me a lot! I know that its in source control. Why is it asking me if I want it in source control? I want to be able to open it and use TFS/TFVC from my laptop against the same files and folders that are on my desktop. The dialog box that warning pops up in has 3 buttons, Yes No and Help. Clicking Help sends me to a very unhelpful link about Git and VSTS. I don't know what will happen if I click the Yes button, because that project on my desktop is already in source control, so I just click No because I don't know what else to do.
So, this leads to ask is it the case that in some way I don't yet understand opening a project created in VS 2017 and saved to TFS under TFVC on my desktop is different than opening that same project from my laptop connected to the D: drive on my desktop?
The solution you are opening is bound to source control on the
following Team Foundation Server:
http://ourserver:8080/tfs/defaultcollection. Would you like to contact
this server to try and enable source control integration?`
This kind of pop-up info, usually indicate there are some mapping issue related. Please double check your workspace mapping first.
Besides you could also try to connect your project in Team Explorer -Visual Studio follow below steps:
1 View->'Team Explorer'
2 'Manage Connections' (green plug)
3 'Manage Connections' (drop down) -> 'Connect to Team Project'
4 List of projects shows up from your account.
5 Select Project and Connect

TF31002 Can't connect to TFS online from VS 2012

Problem
I'm using VisualStudio 2012 Ultimate v11.0.50727.1 Update 4 and VisualStudio 2013 Ultimate v12.0.21005 EL and I'm able to connect to TFS through any browser. But suddenly I can't connect to TFS at xxxxx.VisualStudio.com from within VisualStudio anymore. Yesterday I easily did a Check-In at work with the same account. but I can't connect to TFS at home.
This is the URL I'm using: (I've tried changing it a bit like adding /tfs or /DefaultCollection)
I'm stuck with this, I've tried different ways but none have worked so far and it's still giving me these errors: TF31002, TF300324 and TF205020
TF31002 (this error happens when trying to Add a new server)
TF205020: Could not connect to server ‘https://xxxxxx.visualstudio.com/defaultcollection’. This server was used in your last session, but it might be offline or unreachable. Confirm that the server is available on the network. To attempt to connect again, or to a different server, click ‘Connect To Team Foundation Server’ in Team Explorer or the Team menu.
TF400324: Team Foundation services are not available from server https://xxxxxx.visualstudio.com/defaultcollection.
Technical information (for administrator):
The underlying connection was closed: An unexpected error occurred on a send.
(The last 2 errors happen when VisualStudio is trying to login to tfs)
I've tried these:
Go to VisualStudio.com and Sign out from all browsers
Delete Cookies and Caches of IE10 (and test when IE has signed in to visualstudio.com or signed out of it)
Go to Regedit and set the DWORD to 0 in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\11.0\TeamFoundation\Instances
Browse to %LocalAppData%\Microsoft\Team Foundation\4.0\Cache and delete everything
Delete all credentials from Windows Credential Manager (and remove Link Online ID)
Installed VS2013
Installed Team Explorer 2013
Installed VS2012 Update 4
Installed a fresh copy of Windows 8
What I want.
After some long and desperate time of trying to connect to TFS online, Now I'm just looking for a way to Check-in my changes. (doing it by hand is not an option because there's a large number of changes and I can't even know which files are changed since last check-in)
I just saw this link and it totally worked for me after nothing else would: http://www.cnblogs.com/CuteNet/p/3556276.html
regedit:
Close all instances of Visual Studio 2013
Delete this folder in the registry (just “TokenStorage” – nothing else):
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VSCommon\12.0\ClientServices\TokenStorage
I had similar issue where I couldn't connect (TF31002) to TFS 2010 using VS 2010, 2012 and 2013 on my laptop but can connect from web and other servers just fine.
I tried almost all suggestions given by various sources online but had no luck.
I was getting ready to reimage tha laptop but as one last try I started comparing config's between another virtual machine (where the connection was successful) to my laptop. I found that in my laptop I have additional defaultProxy settings in 'C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\Config\machine.config’
<system.net>
<defaultProxy>
<proxy autoDetect="false" bypassonlocal="false" proxyaddress="http://XXX.X.X.X:XXXX" usesystemdefault="false"/>
</defaultProxy>
</system.net>
After deleting the above node completely I was able to connect to TFS 2010 successfully.
Hope this helps.
I've found a way to check-in all changes of the home computer at work computer.
Copy the local TFS folder from home computer (including the hidden $tf subfolder) to work computer.
Install Team Foundation Sidekicks for 2012
Search for the home computer name
Click on Update Workspace Computer Name
Go to Source Control Explorer and open Workspaces...
Check Show remote workspaces checkbox (if the home workspace is not shown)
Edit the home workspace
Remove current mapping
Map $/ to the local folder (which has $tf)
When click on Advanced It should look like this:
Switch to the new Workspace and done!
It seems to me that private workspace is what causing the problem, and I will try to change it to public after I checked in.
Edit
I've found another workaround which requires no workspace hacks. (This method is originally designed for recovering from wrong check-ins)
In Source Control Explorer select root (collection, not project)
click Compare folders
in source version section choose the latest safe version
in target path section browse to the not-checked-in folder
make sure both paths end with same name (e.g. $/MyProj and E:\FromHome\TFS\MyProj)
(set any additional settings...) and click OK
DoubleClick on files with different value of Yes and write down the names of those file that should be loaded from local folder (right part of screen probably shows local)
Open those files from Solution Explorer and overwrite them with local files
I faced the same issue few days back
1. Disable your firewall(not recommended)
2. Run VS 2013 in admin mode.
3. Disable antivirus or add TFS in whitelist.
4. Select connect to TFS and create a new project in another directory (Local copy)
5. Check the directory for access(Read only by default change the permissions)
6. try to check in now.
After changing the permissions to the local directory i was able to check in my changes.
I was having the same issues using Visual Studio 2013 Update 2 and for me the problem was Anti-Virus software (Kaspersky Endpoint Security 8). See this link: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/dstfs/archive/2014/07/24/can-t-connect-to-visual-studio-online-from-any-version-of-in-vs-quot-the-underlying-connection-was-closed-an-unexpected-error-occurred-on-a-send-quot.aspx
Check your URL first!
I had a problem with such URL:
https://domain-name.com
Turns out that symbol "-" where replaced with some special char ­. But Visual Studio 2012(2013) did not indicate that anyhow. Apparently it was not able to find such domain. As result same issue TF31002 and a day spent in research.
I was having a similar problem with Visual Studio Premium 2013 connecting to our project from inside VS. It kept returning TF31002, but I could access it with a browser.
From the browser I went to Home->Activities->Open New instance of Visual Studio and my tfs project loaded right into the Team Explorer frame.
Hope that helps.
I had the same issue when I wanted to connect to the TFS with Visual Studio. This solved my problem:
I used a VPN connection to the server
I used the ip address instead of the link given by the TFS (http://"ip address":8080/tfs instead of http://"link":8080/tfs)

visual studio 2010 team explorer

I have a project on vs 2010. I have tried to add project on windows server 2003 which has tfs 2010 installed. Later on I have switched to windows server 2008 and then installed tfs 2010 again. But I have changed server name.
Now, when I try to add project to tfs, I receive and error says that;
Team Foundation services are not available from server http://old server name:8080/tfs/. Technical information (for administrator): The remote name could not be resolved: 'old server name'
I have tried to add different projects but I havent received any errors. I am thinking problem is like, visual studio installed on my client computer has registered project with old server name and still tries the same server but team explorer can not find the server.
what shall I do?
PS: I am not tring to get my codes on old server. I did not use tfs, just wanted to learn it.
If you get the message when you open Visual Studio then you need to go to Team Explorer and click the "Connect to Team Project" button, then click on the "servers" button and remove the old server. If you need to you can also add the new server here.
If it's when you're opening the solution then you need to remove the Source Control bindings
open the solution and then go to "File", "Source Control", "Change Source Control" this will open up a screen where you can Unbind the Projects and Solutions from the old server.

Unable to open website in Visual studio any more

Pls refer
Finding the .Net framework
Based on the inputs I was able to open the website using
Click on File -> Open -> WebSite (Or press Alt+Shift+O).
Select the folder which containing your file (aspx, aspx.vb, web.config)
It was all working fine till today morning.
Today morning, I presume there was some Silverlight installation or Windows update going on when I clicked to open the website and Visual Studio env went into hang state.
After that I have not been able to open the website from recent project list. I also tried renaming the directory and follow the approach i.e. Click on File -> Open -> WebSite (Or press Alt+Shift+O). but no success. The screen just blinks and cursor remains on the page showing latest news on Visual Studio
However my other websites are opening fine in Visual Studio env. If it helps I am using Visual Studio 2005
Request you to pls help.
Thanks
I cannot open the website directly from the folder as I do not have complete website and that is precisely why I am following the approach of
Click on File -> Open -> WebSite (Or press Alt+Shift+O). Select the folder which containing your file (aspx, aspx.vb, web.config)
as suggested by someone earlier.
Try restarting your computer.
Try opening the WebSite directly from the folder, not in VS.
It doesn't make sense to try to open part of a web site.
Also, is there a chance that the original site was a web application project? It would have a .csproj or .vbproj file in it.
I could solve my problem by resetting the export/import settings.
