For some reason I cannot check in my code to our Visual Studio Online account. Other developers can, but not me. This is the error I am getting:
"Could not find dataspace with category VersionControl and identifier [some guid]"
Searching for any help on the above error is not returning anything meaningful.
This started to happen after I installed Visual Studio 2015 Enterprise. I launched it for the first time after creating a new web application with Visual Studio 2013. I then opened that new solution in 2015 and all was fine. Things began to go awry once I tried to put it in our Visual Studio Online account. When I went to Team Explorer in VS 2015 I selected "Projects and My Teams / New Team Project". This then bounced me over to our Visual Studio Online account in the browser for me to fill out that simple form to create a new team project. I filled the form out and submitted. I then got an error that the project was not successfully created. Unfortunately Visual Studio still thinks it was created and it shows up in the list of projects ONLY WITHIN Visual Studio -- it does not show up online. Eventually I just became frustrated and deleted everything related to all that I just tried but then learned that I cannot check anything in now on my old projects! I had other developers test and they still can so the problem evidently is on my machine. I then uninstalled VS 2013 and VS 2015 then reinstalled VS 2013 and am still having the problem.
I am hoping someone can point me to some cached junk that needs to be cleared on my system. :-)
This is a bit shot in the dark, few things you can try:
Delete the local cache under:
%localappdata%\Microsoft\Team Foundation
%localappdata%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\14.0\SyncSettings
Open cmd. Type:
"%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\Tools\vsvars32.bat"
Verify connections: tf settings connections
Run Visual Studio in safe mode (devenv.exe /SafeMode)
Run Visual Studio with activity log (devenv.exe /log) and check for errors.
I have the problem that Visual Studio 2013 crashes when I lock the computer or start another instance of Visual Studio.
I use Visual Studio 2013 with latest patches applied. I always start Visual Studio as Admin.
This seems to only happen with a certain big solution. This problem did not occur to me with other solutions.
I tried to delete the solution and make a clean checkout from TFS, but Visual Studio still crashes.
I know this is not much information, but do you have any idea how to fix this or how to what else I could check?
Additional Information: This still happens even with Visual Studio 2015 on a fresh Windows 8.1 installation...
Here's the error:
Use the following steps to solve the issue:
Source: http://resharper-support.jetbrains.com/entries/24765142-Visual-Studio-with-ReSharper-is-freezing-and-or-crashing
I would copy the solution with quotation but as you can see, there is a lot of text to edit.
Start Visual Studio using the /log switch. Then check the created log file for warnings and errors:
%APPDATA%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\11.0\ActivityLog.xml
If you use a Web Browser to view the file, it will be nicely formatted, due to the accompanying xsl-sheet.
So I'm trying to do what I think is a very simple thing: generate a Windows Phone app with PhoneGap and open it in Visual Studio. On a totally fresh Windows installation (via Bootcamp), I've:
Downloaded Visual Studio Express 2013 for Windows (the very first download button: http://developer.windowsphone.com/en-us/downloadsdk)
Created a PhoneGap Windows Phone app per the Getting Started guide.
However, every time I try to open the csproj file, I keep getting this error:
Unsupported
This version of Visual Studio is unable to open the following projects. The project types may not be installed or this version of Visual Studio may not support them.
For more information on enabling these project types or otherwise migrating your assets, please see the details in the "Migration Report" displayed after clicking OK.
- HelloWorld, "C:\BodBot\BodBot-PG\BodBot\platforms\wp8\HelloWorld.csproj"
No changes required
These projects can be opened in Visual Studio 2013, Visual Studio 2012, and Visual Studio 2010 SP1 without changing them.
- HelloWorld, "C:\BodBot\BodBot-PG\BodBot\platforms\wp8\HelloWorld.sln"
No matter what I do. It works totally fine on Visual Studio 2012 for Windows Phone. I've tried it on VS 2013 for Desktop, and that doesn't work either. No clue what is happening here, and don't know even where to start to figure out what's wrong. I've Googled extensively to no avail; basically all instances of this error seem to have to do with previous version of VS. Pointing in any direction would be very much appreciated.
Turns out Update 2 wasn't getting installed correctly. I ended up installing Visual Studio and the Update 2 separately and Update 2 got installed successfully. Everything works now.
To build Multi device hybrid (Cordova tooling) apps with Visual Studio, you need to have Visual Studio 2013 Update 2 - Professional, Ultimate, or Premium.

This morning I faced a problem while opening my Visual Studio solution, and when I tried to run it, it said:
No exports were found that match the constraint contract name
How can I fix this problem?
I solved this problem by clearing Visual Studio Component Model Cache.
Just delete or rename this folder:
%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\11.0\ComponentModelCache
or
%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\VPDExpress\11.0\ComponentModelCache
and restart Visual Studio.
The version of Visual Studio you have is specified by the number e.g.
Visual Studio 2012 is 11.0 (as shown above)
Visual Studio 2013 is 12.0
Visual Studio 2015 is 14.0
Visual Studio 2017 is 15.0
Visual Studio 2019 is 16.0
For those that don't know:
%LocalAppData%\ is the same as C:\Users\{yourUsername}\AppData\Local
For those who have multiple versions of Visual Studio installed, e.g. 2012 and 2013, it might help to remove the ComponentModelCache for both versions before restarting Visual Studio, e.g. 11.0 and 12.0.
No need to rename or delete the whole folder:
(%AppData%\..\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\11.0\ComponentModelCache)
Just rename or delete the Microsoft.VisualStudio.Default.cache file inside the above location.
Visual Studio Express 2012 has different paths.
Visual Studio Express
...\Users\{user}\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WDExpress\11.0\ComponentModelCache
With Visual Studio Express 2012 for Web
...\Users\{user}\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VWDExpress\11.0\ComponentModelCache
I did not have to re-install Visual Studio Express
This will really work like a champ:
Solution: Try to delete ComponentModelCache folder from the below location.
[C:]\Users\[your user name]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\[Visual Studio version number]
And after successful delete, recreate the folder with the same name, "ComponentModelCache".
This issue can be resolved by deleting or clearing all the folders and files from %AppData%\..\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\11.0\ComponentModelCache
This actually clears the Visual Studio component model cache.
On Windows 7 machines, the path is different. When you type %appdata% in Run dialog, it opens the folder C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming.
Click the 'up' button to navigate to the parent folder and select the folder 'Local'.
Final path: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\11.0\ComponentModelCache
Deleting the Component Model Cache did not work for me (well, the relative directory given above did not exist in my machine). Instead, I installed an extension to Visual Studio 2012 Express. Menu Tools → Extensions and Updates... → Online → Choose any and then download. This apparently invalidates the cache causing Visual Studio to rebuild it.
Here's my source.
For Visual Studio 2013 you need to remove that folder from this path:
%AppData%\..\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\12.0
for Visual Studio 2012 and later versions, the solution must be deleting the content of the folder ComponentModelCache:
C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WDExpress\11.0\ComponentModelCache
Visual Studio 2013
C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\12.0\ComponentModelCache
I had the same problem upon launching Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate, and the solutions here didn't work for me. I tried deleting the mentioned folders and starting Visual Studio again, but it didn't work.
However I had other problems too, like Microsoft.visual studio package did not load correctly and also Page '312e8a59-2712-48a1-863e-0ef4e67961fc' not found VS 2012. The latter refers to a message in the Team Explorer window saying "Page 'somenumber' cannot be found".
So I run devenv /setup on the Visual Studio command prompt with administrative rights. It did the job, and everything is fine now.
Remove ComponentModelCache folder content.
%AppData%..\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\11.0\ComponentModelCache
Clearing the folders didn't work for me. So I went to 'Programs and Features' and used the change button to startup the Visual Studio 2013 setup.
In the setup I choose the repair function and that fixed the problem for me.
I had the same problem with Visual Studio Express 2013 of Windows 8.1.
Unfortunatly there was no "ComponentModelCache" folder in
%AppData%..\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\12.0\ComponentModelCache.
I found the "ComponentModelCache" folder in
..\Users[username]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WDExpress\12.0
and solved this problem by removing this folder from there.
If you have VS 2013, you have to go to: %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\12.0
then rename the ComponentModelCache folder.
I experienced a similar problem after some updates released from Microsoft (part of them where about .NET framework 4.5).
On the Internet I got the following link to the Microsoft knowledge base article:
Update for Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 (KB2781514)
It worked for me.
This happened to me with Visual Studio 2013 Web, after Windows installed several updates. Unfortunately none of the suggestions in this thread helped.
I had to re-run the installer and select the "Repair" option. After that (and a reboot) it was working once again.
In some cases you may have to repair more than one version of Visual Studio. One example is when a Script Task control in VS 2013 opens VS 2012 when you click Edit Script.
Renaming the ComponentModelCache folder worked for me in Visual Studio 2015, but with a slightly different path:
%AppData%\..\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\14.0\ComponentModelCache
I have Windows 7 x64 with a second partition on which Windows 8 (preview installed). While working with Microsoft Visual Studio Express 2012 for Windows Phone, I come up with the same problem. But the ComponentModelCache is found here:
C:\Users\Jayaram\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VPDExpress\11.0
I am unable to delete or rename as I get the "access is denied" message when I try to use command prompt:
Administrator: VS2012 X64 CrossToolsCommandPrompt
This issue is because of a MEF cache corruption.
Installing the feedback extension (or installing any extension) will invalidate the cache causing VS to rebuild it.
click for source.
i experienced this problem in Microsoft Visual Studio Express 2012 for windows phone while trying to open file.
Then i browsed to
C:\Users\MyUserName\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VPDExpress\11.0\ComponentModelCache
And Inside ComponentModelCache i deleted Microsoft.VisualStudio.Default.cache CACHE file. Finaly i restarted visual studio and reopened my project.
Then my problem was solved, i was able to open file.
Note: My OS is windows 8. And i installed SDK 8 for developing windows phone app
Thanks
I am using Visual Studio 2012. After installing the Visual Studio 2013 web express, when I want to run or open any project in Visual Studio 2012 it shows me the following error:
"no exports were found that match the constraint contract name".
I also tried the above solution for clearing the ComponentModelCache,
but I did not find the folder. I solves my problem just by: Repair Visual Studio 2012
For the Express versions of the software, the folder you need is in a slightly different place(s): For Express 2012 for Web it is C:\Users\XXXXXXXX\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VWDExpress - not in the Visual Studio folder.
I got an error with the same error message - two years later.
It's a different problem this time though, related to .NET Core dnx things.
I couldn't find an answer on Stack Overflow, but there's a GitHub issue that contains a workaround: https://github.com/aspnet/Home/issues/1455
Below is the most important part of the workaround:
Delete the entire C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio
14.0\Common7\IDE\Extensions\Microsoft\Web Tools\DNX directory. (As far as I understand, it belongs to the old version of ASP.NET Core
RC1, which for some reason is still shipped even with Visual Studio 2015 Update-3).
Delete the C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\14.0\devenv.exe.config file.
Run the Developer Command Prompt for Visual Studio 2015 as Administrator, and execute the devenv /setup command. The new devenv.exe.config file is generated. This time there are many assemblies that refer to the
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\IDE\Extensions\Microsoft\DotNet directory.
Run the Visual Studio 2015 and check that it shows the Microsoft .NET Core Tools (Preview 2) 14.1.20624.0 in the Help => About Microsoft Visual Studio menu.
Thanks to olegburov's post on GitHub for figuring this out.
I had to uninstall some external components like Postsharp and Apex and then it worked. I also tried the chosen solution but it gave me more errors.
Deleting the folders haven't worked for me i have go control panel and repaired
Visual Studio Installer Projects extensions for VS 2013.
And it worked for me
I got this error after reinstalling IntelliJ IDEA and ReSharper for C# in Visual Studio 2013.
First, I got an error problem with extensions, and after this I got this error:
"No exports were found that match the constraint contract name”
I simply removed folder ComponentModelCache and resolved this error.
My 2 cents:
Following all above lifesaving tips, I had a slightly different experience; mine is VS 2017 Community Edition, installed once, and I notice that have all these 3 folders:
%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\15.0 ==> Empty
%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\7f0c75b0 ==> has only the CoreCon folder
This is the one that has the ComponentModelCache:
%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\15.0_7f0c75b0
Deleting only the Microsoft.VisualStudio.Default.cache had no effect.
So, I deleted all 4 files there: .cache, .err, .external and catalogs.
On restarting VS, problem gone and appeared a 5th file:
Microsoft.VisualStudio.Default.scan
Removing ComponentModelCache did not work for me. Reinstalling VS 2019 did thanks to a recommendation on this Microsoft support thread.

This seems to be a known bug with a fix incoming from MS (as of 1/7/2020)
Experienced after upgrading from VS2019 Pro 16.2 (i think it was?) to 16.4.2 using Visual Studio Installer
Error displayed when trying to launch both nuget console and nuget package manager
Ever since I updated my projects for VS 11 I can't get my #Model intellisense to work in either version of Visual Studio (2010 or 11). I've tried reverting the .csproj file to remove the VS 11 references, but to no avail. Other MVC 3 Razor project are working just fine. Anyone experience this?
Not working in both versions of Visual Studio smells like the install is possibly corrupted a bit. My first step would be to try and repair the Visual Studio 2010 install and see if the Intellisense behavior comes back for 2010 only.
Control Panel
Add / Remove Programs
Visual Studio 2010
Select Repair in the menu
If this works then you could be happy with the returned intellisense or try the same steps for Visual Studio 11 and hope it fixes it for both. But if the installation of 2011 is to blame then very likely it would just immediately rebreak both of them
I found this article that addressed my issue.
EDIT:
It seems that some combination of installing VS 11 and some tool updates caused this issue. I got luck and managed to get the following error message:
The type System.Web.Mvc.ModelClientValidationRule exists in both c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft ASP.NET\ASP.NET Web Pages\v2.O\Assemblies\System.Web.WebPages.dll and c:\Program
Files (6)\Microsoft ASP.NET\ASP.NET MVC 3\Assemblies\System.Web.Mvc.dll
After doing some digging I wound up uninstalling "Microsoft ASP.NET Web Pages 2 - Visual Studio 2010 Tools", which resulted in everything working. Granted it may have been a better idea to uninstall "Microsoft ASP.NET Web Pages - Visual Studio 2010 Tools" instead, but this is working at the moment.
I found a complete lack of information on the Internet about this type of issue, so I'm putting it here for posterity.
