Can not run the visual studio project system.web.mvc - visual-studio-2010

I get this error:
What is the problem and how can I fix it?

It seems that there is one file missing: "nuget.targets".
Do you have any extra information about it?, have you tried to run it in a different Visual Studio installation?, different computer, maybe?.
If I were you I would clean everything and try to run the project again.
I guess that you used this: http://nuget.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=Getting%20Started as your guide to install nuget. I would recommend to install it again and if you don't success with it come back and give us extra information.

VS create project does not show no solution

It's really bad, my computer is malfunctioning. I reinstalled the asp.net core environment and encountered this problem. What do I need to do?
Solution 'WebApplication1'(0 projects)
I reinstalled vs according to the online statement, but it didn't work.
Did you use VS to create the project when this appeared? You try to use the command:
dotnet --list-sdks, if the command does not work, please check whether you have installed asp.net core sdk. There is also the simplest way, you download the asp.net core sdk version directly, and then see if the uninstall button pops up during installation, if there is, there may be a problem with the installation, click uninstall and reinstall to create normally project.
For more methods, please refer to this post, which may help you:

Team Foundation Server build failure

I have following tools installed on my machine:
TFS 2017
Visual Studio 2017
MSBuild 14.0
In my application, I'm using some C#6 elements like string interpolation ($).
When I try to build it, controller says that it could not resolve the symbol.
Builds fail for both XAML and standard definitions.
In build logs, there's an information that it uses correct MSBuild 14.0 path: C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\14.0\bin, but still failes to resolve C#6 elements.
I would really appreciate if you would help me with this problem, I've searched entire internet and found nothing :/
If you guys need any information, I'll be more than happy to provide it. Thank you.
TFS with XAML build is just using MSBuild to run the build. You could first try to use MSBuild command to run the build test locally, which will narrow down the issue.
If it works well on your dev machine and not works from a TFS server build. Very likely the environment problem.
To make sure the build successful, you should keep your build server environment the same with your local environment. Please double check this.
For trouble shooting, you could try to remote to your build agent, manually run your build and test on your build agent.
As for how to enable C#6, you could also refer this similar question, modify TFSBuildServiceHost.exe.config file which may do the trick. How do I enable C# 7 builds in Team Foundation Server 2015?
If you still get error, please include detail build failed logs here.

MSTest cannot find TestAdapter.dll

I'm using the built-in Visual Studio test tools (Test -> Run -> etc in the menu). I just started having a problem where I get the following error when I try to run tests
[3/29/2018 1:39:14 PM Error] System.IO.FileNotFoundException: C:\Users\brubin\AppData\Local\Temp\VisualStudioTestExplorerExtensions\MSTest.TestAdapter.1.1.18/build/_common/Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestPlatform.MSTest.TestAdapter.dll
at Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestWindow.Controller.TestPlatformProvider.PerformShadowCopy(IEnumerable'1 testExtensions)
That's followed by some errors that say
Make sure that test discoverer & executors are registered and platform & framework version settings are appropriate and try again.
When I look at the folder C:\Users\brubin\AppData\Local\Temp\VisualStudioTestExplorerExtensions\MSTest.TestAdapter.1.1.18/build/_common/, there are no files in that folder. However, I haven't knowingly changed anything about my test setup and this was working several days ago, so I don't know why it would have stopped working.
My projects are using the MSTest.TestFramework (MSTest V2) version v1.2 NuGet package.
One thing I noticed that may have caused this problem is that if I go to Tools -> Extensions and Updates, I see that my Microsoft Visual Studio Test Platform was updated a few days ago, on 3/23 (I think that's when I installed a Visual Studio update). However, if that broke something, I have no idea where to look to see what's broken, or how to fix it.
For me, clearing the VisualStudioTestExplorerExtensions folder and restarting Visual Studio (as per this github issue) did the trick. In my case, it contained two folders for different versions of MSTest.TestAdapter, I don't know whether or not that's relevant.
For anyone else who stumbles on this question, the problem was caused because a few of my test projects didn't have the MSTest.TestAdapter NuGet package included. I added the MSTest.TestAdapter package to all of my test projects, and the problem seems to be solved permanently now.
I spent the whole last week trying to solve the same issue. Only yesterday did I realize that running tests from the console is a time saver. Much to my surprise, I've just moved all my project -which was inside a "OneDrive" folder, to a different location. Now, it works like a charm! All my tests run from the Visual Studio IDE. I don't know if moving the files had anything to do with it, but you can give it a try.
Reinstalling all solution's Nuget packages fixed this issue for me.
Please run this command on the package console:
Update-Package -reinstall
then try again, or restart VS, then try again.
Reference: https://ardalis.com/force-nuget-to-reinstall-packages-without-updating/
Its a bug in Visual Studio. Upgrade the Visual Studio to version 15.7.
https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/content/problem/222892/filenotfoundexception-microsoftvisualstudiotestpla.html
Yes you need to update "MsTest.TestAdapter" on all testprojects. The easiest way is to rightclick on master solution and click on manage nuget-packages. Then select " installed " tab and see if there is installed TestAdapter on each testprojects. If necessary you can update TestAdapter to newest version. Then restart Visual Studio and it should work.

Publish website without roslyn

I am trying to create web application using Visual Studio 2015 and .NET 4.5.1.
When I publish the website, visual studio create folder named roslyn.
I know it's used to compile code on the fly, but unfortunately my hosting provider doesn't allow me to execute the compiler on their server.
How to publish the website without roslyn like previous version of Visual Studio?
EDIT:
I got this error when trying to acces my website.
It seems IIS trying to execute roslyn\csc.exe but my user account doesn't have permission to do that. With previous version of Visual Studio, this error doesn't show up.
I've just faced the same problem. When you create a new web project, two nuget packages automatically added to your project. If you remove them, your problem should be solved. Package names are: "Microsoft.CodeDom.Providers.DotNetCompilerPlatform" and "Microsoft.Net.Compilers".
I had the same issue. Followed the steps from here. Basically:
Uninstall the package
Uninstall-package Microsoft.CodeDom.Providers.DotNetCompilerPlatform <Your Web API project name>
In your publish profile settings, uncheck "Allow precompiled site to be updatable". You can find this under Settings > Precompile during publishing > configure
After searching the same issued I face, I just came here. I read the above answer which is right.
I give the answer, because of Here is the good article to explain :
Why the publish code have this exe as well as development environment ?
What is the benefit and how to remove?
This is also the very good article, about the history of this exe
After countless effort....and according to this website.
I find that you can use /p:UseWPP_CopyWebApplication=true /p:PipelineDependsOnBuild=false in MSBuild to transform web.config, this also include the roslyn compiler in the build. The output is same as what you get by publishing in Visual Studio into file system
There is an open bug on the roslyn repository about this issue.
In my case all I had to do was to downgrade the dll Microsoft.CodeDom.Providers.DotNetCompilerPlatform from version 1.0.6 to 1.0.5.
I have had the same issue in Sept2016 when I took over an existing ASP.NET program. I found that there were multiple versions of the two compiler packages mentioned by Kemal installed in different projects of the solution.
So firstly I updated to get them the same. VS doesn't tell you that updates are available in this scenario (or maybe I missed them ?)
I then had to restart VS2015 for the packages to clean up properly.
