Unable to debug .NET Core app - visual-studio

I'm having and issue with Visual Studio and a .NET Core API project. It's been working fine but something must have changed because I'm now getting the following output when trying to debug the project:
The program '[18032] dotnet.exe' has exited with code -2147450749 (0x80008083).
The program '[17688] iisexpress.exe' has exited with code 0 (0x0).
The program '[5500] iexplore.exe' has exited with code -1 (0xffffffff).
The event viewer is showing this error:
Failed to start process with commandline '"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\IDE\Extensions\Microsoft\Web Tools\ProjectSystem\VSIISExeLauncher.exe" -debug -p "C:\Program Files (x86)\dotnet\dotnet.exe" -a "C:\Projects\Utilities\API\src\API\bin\Debug\netcoreapp1.0\API.dll" -pidFile "C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Temp\tmp742C.tmp" -wd "C:\BlueSky\Utilities\API\src\API"', ErrorCode = '0x80004005'.
I'm not sure why this is happening, if anyone has any insight into this it would be appreciated.

Do as fallow:
Close Visual Studio
Delete the project.lock.json file (if exists)
If above step won't help then try to remove .vs folder
Open Visual Studio as Administrator (the file will be restored and you shouldn't have problems anymore)
There is also an option to use Kestrel instead of IIS Express but that's just an workaround.

Trying to Add a Reference to Visual Studio Project Suddenly Throws an Exception

When I try to ADD a REFERENCE to any Visual Studio project...I am suddenly getting the following exception:
Error HRESULT E_FAIL has been returned from a call to a COM component
This happens across ALL projects regardless of whether they are source-controlled (or not)
SIDE NOTE:
I did recently install Xamarin on a SEPARATE PROJECT in another TFS SOLUTION
WHAT I'VE DONE SO FAR:
Delete all *.suo files
Delete all *.user files
Wiped the TFS Workspace & done a FORCE GET
Nothing has worked
The FIRST TIME you get this error message you'll get a window with a reference to the following file:
ActivityLog.xml: This file contains information about the underlying error.
If you ignore the message & click away from the initial dialog, THE ERROR GETS SUPPRESSED and is replaced with:
Error HRESULT E_FAIL has been returned from a call to a COM component.
If you look in this file you will see the error. This particular exception was was caused by:
Microsoft.visualstudio.shell.interop.IVsReferenceManager2
Within the Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Interop.11.0.dll library.
This post helped me solve the issue!
THE FIX IS:
Open "Developer Command Prompt for VS 2017" as an Administraor
CD into "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Professional\Common7\IDE\PublicAssemblies"
Run "gacutil -i Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Interop.11.0.dll"
After a restart, it all worked well.

System.IO.IOException during the build process in VisualStudio 2017

I'm working on a Hololens application using Unity 2018.2.20f1. I'm building the application for UWP from Unity without a problem. However, after opening up the generated solution in the VisualStudio 2017 (Community Edition) and trying to build it, the build process fails with the following errors:
Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State
Error MSB3073 The command ""D:\Projects\VSProjects\VirtualPrague\Il2CppOutputProject\\IL2CPP\build\il2cpp.exe" --libil2cpp-static --compile-cpp -architecture=x86 -configuration=Release -platform=winrt -outputpath="D:\Projects\VSProjects\VirtualPrague\\build\bin\Win32\Release\GameAssembly.dll" --data-folder="D:\Projects\VSProjects\VirtualPrague\\build\bin\Win32\Release\\" -cachedirectory="D:\Projects\VSProjects\VirtualPrague\\build\obj\il2cppOutputProject\Win32\Release\\" -generatedcppdir="D:\Projects\VSProjects\VirtualPrague\Il2CppOutputProject\\Source" --additional-defines=WINDOWS_UWP --additional-defines=UNITY_UWP --additional-defines=UNITY_WSA_10_0 --additional-defines=UNITY_WSA --additional-defines=UNITY_WINRT --additional-defines=PLATFORM_WINRT -dotnetprofile=unityjit -verbose --map-file-parser="D:\Projects\VSProjects\VirtualPrague\Il2CppOutputProject\\IL2CPP\MapFileParser\MapFileParser.exe"" exited with code -532462766.

In the output there are multiple exceptions, similar to this one:
1>il2cpp.exe didn't catch exception: System.IO.IOException: The process cannot access the file 'C:\Users\dev\AppData\Local\Temp\tmpDE97.tmp' because it is being used by another process.

1> at il2cpp.Program.DoRun(String[] args)
1> at il2cpp.Program.Run(String[] args)
1> at il2cpp.Program.Main(String[] args)
The exceptions are the same but were thrown for different files. I tried to reinstall the Visual Studio and managed to get a build. The next day I turned on the PC and this error was back. I stopped all of the VS instances and processed from the task manager, deleted all of the files from the Temp folder and managed to get a build a couple more times. Then this error came back.
From what I can tell, during the build process, Visual Studio creates some *.tmp files and for some reason thinks that another process is using it.
Any idea why this is happening and how can it be solved?
Thanks a lot!
Edit: So here is what I did so far (this is more of a work around rather then a solution)
Uninstall vs and unity
Clear the registry with ccleaner and Advanced Uninstaller Pro
Install vs and Unity
Every time I want to get a build I,
Close all of vs instances
Clear Temp folder (C:\Users\dev\AppData\Local\Temp)
Delete previous vs solution
Build from Unity
Run vs as Administrator
Build and deploy the solution from vs
And it works for the most the time. Also, changing the solution configuration (from debug to release and vice versa) helps sometimes.

Visual studio - how to check what DLLs does my program need to run/what DLLs are missed?

I've just downloaded the Visual Studio 2017 Community.
Once I try to compile any program (even the simplest "Hello World") with any configuration (release/debug, x86/x64, empty project/windows console application), I get the following error:
Microsoft.CppCommon.targets(381,5): error MSB6006: error MSB6006: "CL.exe" exited with code -1073741515 (This error means STATUS_DLL_NOT_FOUND, I know it's been asked before, but I don't know how to check what DLLs are missed).
Microsoft.CppCommon.targets(381):
<CL Condition="'%(ClCompile.PrecompiledHeader)' != 'Create' and
'%(ClCompile.ExcludedFromBuild)'!='true' and
'%(ClCompile.CompilerIteration)' == '' and #(ClCompile) != ''"
Do you know how to check what DLLs are missing?
I'm new but i hope I'll answer quite properly. To reach the actual error code you need to change it to hex. Yours is
C0000135
. As far as I know it's file damage related,so you're right about dll missing. In older visuals the way to know it was via command line.
Ran msbuild.exe <my.sln> /t:<mytargetproject> from a VS2010 command prompt, where <my.sln> is your solution name and <mytargetproject> is the project you are trying to build. For e.g. msbuild.exe helloworld.sln /t:mainproj.
That is a cite from different post in stackoverflow.
Error Code -1073741515 When Using EDITBIN
Hope it will be easier for you to resolve problem with this. Can't help more as I don't use VS neither Windows. Good luck!

error MSB3073: The command "call "C:\project\clientdll\dependencies\gitrev.bat" :VCEnd" exited with code 255

I'm getting this message when trying to build my project (Visual Studio 2010):
Error 120 error MSB3073: The command "call "C:\project\clientdll\dependencies\gitrev.bat"
:VCEnd" exited with code 255.
Yes, the file does exist, I used this command in Pre build event, it looks like this:
call "$(SolutionDir)dependencies\gitrev.bat"
Any ideas?
Your Visual Studio is probably not openend with sufficient privileges. Open as admin and try again.
1) right click on Visual Studio Icon
2) choose run as administrator
3) In Start page choose your application.
4) Clean solution
5) Verify if outputs are removed and that the bat file is present in location
6) Rebuild solution
7) Check for errors again.
I had the same error when forgot to add the "call" prefix before the label:
(
...
:MYLABEL blablabla
...
)
The "(:" sequence basically will output the "Continue?" in the opened console window. Seems the Visual Studio does some track of what kind of cmd.exe behaviour and immediately stops the cmd.exe process with the 255 error.
I've had another error like:
error MSB3073: :VCEnd" exited with code -1.
Where the reason of this was the script output of another sequence (only in Visual Studio 2010 and higher):
... error ... :
Well, the Visual Studio tries to guess there the script behaves badly and stops it with these kind of errors.

Visual 2010 MFC new project doesn't build!

I just created a new project in Visual 2010. It is a multi-document MFC (static link) application with the HTML help option, Visual Studio 2008 style (with style changing option), that's about it.
Just after creation, I hit Build Solution and I get a lot build errors all in afxcomctl32.h. Errors like:
Error 1 error C2061: syntax error : identifier 'LPCWS' C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\atlmfc\include\afxcomctl32.h 426 1
On this line:
AFX_ISOLATIONAWARE_STATICLINK_FUNC(HWND ,CreateWindowExW,(DWORD dwExStyle,LPCWS TR lpClassName,LPCWSTR lpWindowName,DWORD dwStyle,int X,int Y,int nWidth,int nHeight,HWND hWndParent,HMENU hMenu,HINSTANCE hInstance,LPVOID lpParam),(dwExStyle,lpClassName,lpWindowName,dwStyle,X,Y,nWidth,nHeight,hWndParent,hMenu,hInstance,lpParam),NULL)
Same errors in Debug and Release.
My PC is Windows 7 Ultimate. What's the problem???
Best regards,
Downy
AFX_ISOLATIONAWARE_STATICLINK_FUNC(..., LPCWS TR lpClassName, ...)
That code got messed up, there is a space or tab inserted in LPCWSTR. Deleting it will fix the problem.
However, that changed the timestamp on the file as well, you may run into trouble when you install a future service pack. One thing to try is to rename the file, then run a Repair to get the original file back. Or copy it off another machine.
