Exception when adding a View to MVC3 - asp.net-mvc-3

I'm using Visual Studio 2012 Express for Web.
When I try to add a view, I get an error saying:
The templates had the following 1 error(s)
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio
11.0\Common7\IDE\VWExpress\ItemTemplates\CSharp\Web\MV
C 3\CodeTemplates\AddView\CSHTML\Empty.tt(-1,-1): error :
There was a problem getting an AppDomain to run the
transformation from the host. The process cannot continue.
I've been plugging in Ninject (this is actually just an app to prove it's working) so it could be something to do with one of the start-up files.
Where do I start looking to try to fix this?
Thanks
Dave

Try restarting the Visual Studio 2012 and add a view now, and that should do for you.
Have you copied the Code Templates folder your project ?

Restarting didn't work for me. It turns out that mvc3 had never been installed on my machine (mvc4 was in place already) and also my copy of visual studio wanted to install service pack 1. So I uninstalled the newer version of newget using the control panel restarted visual studio. The service pack (sp1) successfully installed. Now my custom .tt files successfully render new views.

Unable to start debugging because the object invoked has disconnected from its clients

I'm running Visual Studio 2012 (version 11.0.61030.00 update 4). When debugging a local console application I get the following error when I start debugging (F5):
---------------------------
Microsoft Visual Studio
---------------------------
Error while trying to run project: Unable to start debugging.
The object invoked has disconnected from its clients.
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------
This only happens if I leave visual studio alone without debugging for a couple minutes. If I close visual studio and re-open the error goes away (until I leave it untouched for another couple of minutes). Has anyone experienced this? I can't find any threads of other people experiencing it.
This may be a possible answer for the problem.
Some from the answer:
Check which files were changed (why and how) after update from a source control engine
Review the list of extensions and plugins. Try to disable all or some of them
Close Visual Studio and kill all the development processes: devenv, mspdbsrv, vcpkgsrv, msbuild, msvsmon, vshub, vstest etc
Remove .suo, .ncb, .VC.db, .VC.VC.opendb files of the solution as well as .vs directory, which sometimes cause problems
Remove project setting files, sort of YourProjectName.vcproj.DOMAINNAME.LOGINNAME.user or YourProjectName.csproj.user. The setting file name depends on a project kind you use
Run "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe" /setup or "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe" /setup for x64 environment
Just Close the VIsual Studio and start again the project.Its work Perfectly for me.
Thanks
While restarting Visual Studio does provide a workaround, it doesn't solve the actual problem. In my case, I was working with a C# solution in VS2017 and the following resolved the issue:
Close Visual Studio
Delete the .vs folder that was created in the Solution's directory
Re-open the Solution
I corrupted my App.config file with NLog settings without section Handler in the top of the document. Gist is check out your config file settings either corrupted in format or not properly handled any section. once I remove corrupted config section, it did not raise the error again (VS 2017)
Hope it helps!
In my case I have just reinstalled Windows 10 and so the Visual Studio 2022..
My project was targeting .net 5 SDK, but I only had .net 6 SDK installed. The solution was to install earlier version of the SDK.

SSIS Script Editor throws an exception

I have SQL Server 2012, SSIS, SSDT and Visual Studio 2010. I can create a new SSIS package and add a Script Task, but if I attempt to open the Script Editor for that Script Task I get the following error:
TITLE: Microsoft Visual Studio
------------------------------
Cannot show Visual Studio 2010 Tools for Applications editor.
------------------------------
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.Tools.Applications.Core, Version=10.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified. (mscorlib)
------------------------------
BUTTONS:
OK
------------------------------
From my own investigation into this error, I found that Visual Studio Tools for Applications appears to be a part of MS Office 2007 and higher. This seemed like an odd dependency for to have, but I installed MS Office 2010 just for grins. It didn't change anything. What else should I try?
You will also get this error, if you are trying to debug a script task in VS 2010 and Run64BitRuntime is set to true. In order to debug, set it to false.
I was getting this error and nothing I came across corrected the problem until I logged off as my normal user and logged in as my local admin user. Once I logged in as an admin I could edit the script in my package. Once I logged back in as my regular user the edit script button worked for it too.
I assume it needed to register the assembly on the first launch and couldn't with my regular domain user.
I also got this same error when trying to open the Script Editor, but for a different reason. Not sure how it happened, but I had 3 copies of VSTA (different versions) installed. Once I removed all of them and re-installed SQL Server 2012, problem solved. Hope that helps.
For me the solution was:
close bids (I'm on 2008r2)
reopen
edit the script (it allowed me to edit it once after restarting bids)
delete all breakpoints
make a trivial change, such as adding a blank line
save
That solved it for me.
This worked for me without doing any kind uninstall.
My environment:
Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0 (2008)
Solution:
Go to cd "C:\program files (x86)\microsoft visual studio 9.0\common7\ide\"
Execute command vsta.exe /setup /hostid SSIS_ScriptTask. This will open VSTA with blank project. Let it open and then close it.
Execute command vsta.exe /setup /hostid SSIS_ScriptComponent. This will open VSTA with blank project. Let it open and then close it.
Open your solution/packages that contains the script task.
Click Edit button in Script task and it should open now. Just in case if it dont, I would suggest to keep the blank vsta of step 2 & 3 open and then click the Edit button in script task.
Took almost two hours and thankfully it worked for me. I did not have admin right to perform all that nasty uninstall and registry edit solutions.
Hope it helps someone!!!

Cannot show Visual Studio 2010 Tools for Applications editor.
Just follow the below solution:
Go to SQL Server Setup folder.
Inside that folder "redist".
Under that one more folder "VSTA".
Under VSTA folder "X86" and "X64"
Install the VSTA_RT30.
It works fine.
I figured out my problem this morning. When I uninstalled SQL Server 2012 (and the remnants of 2008 left behind when I upgraded last month) I also uninstalled 3 packages that were actually part of Visual Studio 2010. Had I not done this, a reinstallation of SQL Server 2012 would probably have done the trick, but instead I found new errors. When I reinstalled these 3 packages from the Visual Studio 2010 distribution media, everything started working.
The 3 packages in question were:
Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 Data-tier Application Project
Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 Data-tier Application Framework
Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 Transact-SQL Language Service

VS 2010 Error: ...csproj Cannot Be Opened

I'm trying to launch a project created by someone else in my local environment. I'm currently using the following products:
Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate version 10.0.40219.1 SP1 Rel
MVC 2
Windows 7 Ultimate
But when I double click on the .sln file I get the following error:
C:\Users...\Desktop\ContactManager\ContactManager\ContactManager.csproj : error : The project file 'C:\Users...\Desktop\ContactManager\ContactManager\ContactManager.csproj' cannot be opened.
The project type is not supported by this installation.
Please help me load my project. :)
Thank you,
Aaron
Turns out that I just needed to install MVC version 3. I guess the project that I was trying to open is using MVC3 and my machine only had 2 as you can see in my environment list above. I'm glad I was able to fix this BUT give me a better error message for crying out loud. Sheesh. ;)

I've come across this before. In my case, I had installed Microsoft SQL Server and, more importantly, BIDS. Whenever I would open a project that was created in VS2008, the VS version selector would identify this as a 2008 project and BIDS would try to open it (and this error would occur). What I did as a work-around is I would right-click on the .sln file and use the "Open With" to select VS2010. If that also works for you, you can change your defaults for what opens .sln files.
Another way to test this is to open VS2010 and then use the "Open Solution" menu option to open your solution. If this method works, you know the issue is the default program that is opening your .sln files.
In my case project needs to have MVC3 so at first i checked i have MVC3 template in Visual Studio 2010 (service pack 1 installed). I downloaded MVC3 installer frowm following link:

After installing my issue get resolved.

The Visual Studio HTM Editor Package did not load correctly

I reinstalled Visual Studio pro 2010 due to an error.
I loaded VS and I now get this error:
The Visual Studio HTM Editor Package did not load correctly.
The problem may have been caused by a configuration change or by the installation of anothe extension.
You can get more information by running the application together with the /log parameter on the command line, and then examining
the file c:\users\lee\appdata\roaming\microsoft\visualstudio\10.0\activitylog.xml
Any ideas where to go from here.
I solved this problem by doing following steps,I am using VS Express 2012 and got the same error as mentioned above.
1)Delete(Always do remember to Backup your data) the AppData file from following location(Delete 10.0/11.0 whatever your version of VS)
a)if VS 10
C:\Users\"UserName"\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0
b)if VS Express
C:\Users\"UserName"\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VSWinExpress\11.0
2)Update VS version from this site
MSDN Site
or directly from MSDN siteThis
3)Restart VS and enjoy
A full uninstall of Anything Visual Studio 2010/Express related, followed by a reinstall, it worked.

BootstrapPackage did not load correctly VS 2010

I just installed VS 2010 v 10.0.30319.1 RTMRel on 64bit Win7 Ultimate and keep receiving the following error when I try to open a web project. I have repaired and reinstall but the issue persists. I am looking for resolution suggestions. Thanks
The 'Microsoft.Data.Entity.Design.BootstrapPackage.BootstrapPackage, Microsoft.Data.Design.BootstrapPackager, Version 10.0.0.0.... did not load correctly.
This was happening to me as well. In my case I installed Visual Studio on my D drive which is not my system drive. After reading a link found in ChiliYago's blog post I found that the root cause was that files were missing from %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE (Which is what the error message says).
In my case, the missing files were installed in C:\ProgramFiles (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE and not D:\ProgramFiles (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE. My solution was to copy the missing .dlls from the install directory on the C drive to the install directory on the D drive, and the error stopped happening.
I had previously installed an Express edition of C# and un-installed it before adding Visual Studio 2010, this may have contributed to the problem for me.
In my case, I Installed Entity Framework June 2011 and then uninstalled it. After this I had this problem.
Nothing found in internet worked and when I was going to format I found in the directory: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\CommonExtensions\ these 2 files:
Microsoft.Data.Entity.Design.BootstrapPackage.pkgdef
Microsoft.Data.Entity.Design.Package.pkgdef
Here is when VS 2010 is trying to load the library that cannot load.
I have another PC with Entity Framework 4.0, and it doesnt have these files, so I have moved them out to the desktop. Now Visual Studio is loading the project succesfully.
On the other hand, my problem also was that If I choose to hide the error message then Entity Framework 4.0 didn't create the .Designer.cs of the Model. then when I tried to add the Domain Service Class to the project, the context class didnt appear (but yes in another machine with the same project and same database).
Now that I have not the error message everything looks working good.
I hope it helps others because I have had this problem during weeks.
Best Regards,
Tried the uninstall and reinstall of Visual Studio 2010… Still that had the damn annoying message about the Missing Assembly.
Looked on the C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\ Directory which only showed:
Microsoft.Data.Entity.Design.DLL
Installed a LOT of Windows Server 2008 files (32 Bit OS) in regards to SQL Server 2008… ADO.Net, etc… STILL didn’t solve the issue! GRRRRRRR!
So I finally fixed the issue by reading between the lines. See the details below on how I resolved this issue…
This points to the MISSING Assembly:
Microsoft.Data.Entity.Design.BootstrapPackage, Version=10.0.0.0, Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/VisualStudio/10.0/Packages/{7A4E8D96-5D5B-4415-9FAB-D6DCC56F47FB}
Renamed Key to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/VisualStudio/10.0/Packages/{7A4E8D96-5D5B-4415-9FAB-D6DCC56F47FB}-123
Problem Solved for now in Visual Studio 2010!
Hope this helps someone else resolve this issue!
I've managed to completely remove VS 2010 from my computer using official utility and then reinstall it. Problem disapeared.
From tools menu in VS2010 select Import and Export Settings...
Select the last option, reset settings.
Save them, why not :)
Select a canned default, such as Visual C#.
Post your differences here, so that you know what to re-enable, and Microsoft people know what needs to be fixed.
I've had same problem, i solved it by rapairing it from "Control Panlel" clicking "Change/Remove" and tan choosing "Repair". BTW i'm using Win XP but i think that uninstallers in Visual Studio are the same. So.. Good luck!
