Web Deploy Type Access Failures - visual-studio-2010

I have an ASP.NET web application that formerly published just fine to several locations. Now when I try to publish or package the application from Visual Studio, regardless of method (i.e., through the Build menu, through One-Click Publish, or the project's context menu), the operation fails with the following error:
Web deployment task failed. (Attempt by method 'Microsoft.Web.Publishing.Tasks.VSMSDeployDriverInCmd.LogTrace (Microsoft.Web.Deployment.DeploymentTraceEventArgs)' to access type 'Microsoft.Web.Deployment.DeploymentSyncParameterEventArgs' failed.)
Which doesn't give much guidance on how to fix it. I have reinstalled Visual Studio and Web Deploy to no avail. Tried disabling and even uninstalling my Visual Studio plugins - nothing.
Can someone give insight into the cause of this message and how to fix it? Or at least how to diagnose what the real problem is?

Publish From VS to Azure Gives Generic Error

Until recently, I had a web solution that I could publish to my Azure webservice from VS2019 without issues. I just got a new PC, and now I get an error message even though the publish seems to work. Something's erroring, but I can't figure out what. I've tried on both VS2019 and VS2022.
When I publish, I get the following error in VS:
An error has occurred
Publish has encountered an error. We were unable to determine the cause of the error. Check the output log for more details.
There are no errors in the output window. In fact, the Output window says "Publish Succeeded" and "Web App was published successfully." And if I look at the live website, it does indeed have my changes.
The fact that there's an error is concerning though, and I don't know how to find more details. I'm worried something in the process isn't completing successfully. Normally VS opens the live website in Chrome after successfully publishing, but it doesn't do so in this case.
What might be the problem? Or what logs can I look at to view more info about the problem?
To check the recent releases of VS 2019 & VS 2022, created the web apps and published to Azure App Service - worked successfully:
Earlier, I also faced similar kind of issues when publishing the Azure Functions Projects, Web Applications to the Azure Services where I has observed the few things to recheck and publish again. Those worked for me every time when I got up these issues.
And When I got this error, it will show the path (like C:\Users\Hari\AppData\Local\Temp\tmp5775.tmp to see diagnostic log which doesn't help me much.
Check the below Steps to find the root cause of that error:
Check your .csproj framework version is same in the Properties of the project on VS IDE.
Update the VS IDE either 2019 or 2022 to the latest release > Clean the Solution > Rebuild > Run Locally > Publish to Azure.
The Priority cause for this error is VS IDE Timeout limit on the release mode. If the internet speed is poor or unstable or Server is slow or Server timeout, then this issue will occur most probably.
Even if the project size is large and if the VS IDE takes more time in release mode, then also there might be a chance of this error occurrence.
Still if the issue persists, raise the ticket in GitHub Repository of Azure App Service-VSIDE

ClickOnce "Could not find required file...Engine\Launcher.exe" Visual Studio Professional 2022 17.2.4

I'm publishing an internal application written in WPF and using Dotnet 5 to a shared network folder using ClickOnce using Visual Studio Professional 2022 17.2.4.
I've had no issues publishing this particular application in the past (I even pushed an update to the application earlier today).
When I attempt to publish I receive the error.
1>Could not find required file 'C:\Users\UserName\source\repos\ApplicationName\ApplicationName\Engine\Launcher.exe'.
I've removed the application name and my user name but outside of that this is the exact wording on the error.
Building the application for release and debug both work.
Attempting to publish to a different installation location does not fix the issue. I've deleted the bin and obj folder and forced a fresh build, still will not publish.
Switching to a different application and attempting to publish via ClickOnce I get the same error.
Restarting Visual Studio or restarting the computer has not fixed the issue.
I'm at a loss for how to fix this.
Edit:
I've fixed this by upgrading to VS 17.3.4 and this seems to have fixed the issue. I have no idea what the problem was.

Visual Studio keeps requesting missing web components

When I open a particular mvc 3 website project in VS 2010 I get the following message:
The Web Project "X" requires missing web components to run with Visual Studio. Would you like to download and install them using the Web Platform Installer now?
ASP.NET Web pages with Razor syntax.
When I click yes
The web platform installer shows with the message that "0" items need to be installed.
My other mvc 3 projects do not show this behavior
Not a major inconvenience, but still...
thoughts any one?
I got the same error after reinstalling my computer.
I came to this conclusion, VS needs IISExpress to load my additional project. The addition projects has a webservice and it can run locally. Even if my endpoints points to a local address it still needs the IISExpress (standard IIS 7.5 does not respond the endpoint request) to open from VS (im running VS2010).
So after installing IISExpress i could reload my project in VS.
C.,
That shouldn't happen, and it would be interesting to figure out why. In the meantime, you should be able to turn this off by unchecking the "Package Restore" checkbox in Visual Studio's Options dialog. (Select "Package Manager" in the tree view to find it.)
If it's happening only for specific projects, you can solve this more surgically by removing the packages.config file for the affected project. In fact, if you want to do root cause analysis, you should look into why that file exists and how it got there.

Error VS1290: The backplane configuration file is either missing

I'm working on a layered application on VS2010 with TFS 2012, the application has some class library projects, unit tests and an mvc4 web.
This error is appearing on my error list:
VS1290: The backplane configuration file is either missing, corrupted, or not valid and must be repaired. Otherwise, integrations between designers will no longer function. Repair the Visual Studio installation and try again.
Doing some searches I found this but it's closed as not reproducible. I'll appreciate any help provided.
Note the application is working, but I'd like to resolve it anyway.
Saldy the solution for me was reinstalling Visual Studio.

Sharepoint project crashes when deploying

I got a lot of projects for Sharepoint which all work fine instead of one. This project can only deployed by one developer of our team, all other devs keep getting an exception when trying to deploy that solution (building that solution works). (Both via Project, RMB in VS)
The error message is:
Error 1 Error occurred in deployment step 'Retract Solution':
A communication error has occurred while invoking commands in SharePoint host process:
The communication object, System.ServiceModel.Channels.ServiceChannel,
cannot be used for communication because it is in the Faulted state.
I enabled logging in VS, but did not find any interesting stuff. Starting in /safemode did not help either. I also deleted the suo-file and all bin, obj and pkg-folders before deploying.
Any idea what went wrong?
(I did see the "Deploying Sharepoint 2010 Webpart crashes Visual Studio" topic but that was something different)
Do iisreset and redeploy the project again .Application pool might be stopped sometimes causes this kind of error.
