Visual Studio 2019 hangs on "Execute Suggested Action" when adding a reference

I've got a problem with Visual Studio Enterprise 2019, it hangs on "Execute Suggested Action" when I use it to add a reference to another project or library.
It's a Visual Studio bug. They are working on it.
Take a look here: https://developercommunity2.visualstudio.com/t/Infinite-suggested-action-never-ends/1223055
The fix will be probably released on the next release (16.9).
UPDATE:
Still in vs 16.8.4 but should be solved in 16.9.
UPDATE 2:
In 16.9 PREVIEW 3, this issue seems to be resolved.
UPDATE 3:
Fix has been released! You can download the new version of VS now.
if anyone struggle with adding references: go to your project -> right click on Dependencies -> select eg Add Project Reference -> look for proper reference
I was having the same issue when adding on the suggestion of Intellisense. For me, it turned out to be an issue of cyclic reference. My bad. I corrected it and now it doesn't hang.
It was VS 2019 community, Windows Forms (C#)

Visual Studio added spaces on empty line

a couple of days ago I updated my VS to Microsoft Visual Studio Enterprise 2019 Version 16.8.3 (+resharper 2020.3 version)
And I catch the next case: VS begins to add spaces for an empty line (on the enter keyboard press).
[edit]: This is a ReSharper option. As mentioned by Piers Myers in the comments.
But before it adds spaces only after I write something in a new line:
Maybe somebody resolves this?
This is a ReSharper bug and they are working on it. I will edit this answer when they will release a fix.
[Edit]: The fix will be available in 2020.3.1 version of resharper.

Visual Studio 2015 Enterprise with ReSharper 10 Ultimate -- Cannot be properly resolved

I have Visual Studio 2015 Enterprise, version 14.0.24720.00 Update 1 as well as ReSharper 10 Ultimate, version 10.0.2 installed. I have a typescript file that is using AtScript syntax to refer to the Angular2 directive module, as its annotation. However, ReSharper is stating the following error:
Symbol 'Directive' cannot be properly resolved, probably it is located in inaccessible module.
Below is the full error tooltip.
The application compiles and runs as expected, and the angular portions of the application also function as desired. It appears as though this is a ReSharper false negative. Is anyone familiar with a workaround other that simply disabling ReSharper or ignoring the warning?
The issue is simply a bug with the latest version of ReSharper, if you Suspend ReSharper the issue simply goes away and all the source code works as expected.
Update
This has since been addressed in the ReSharper 2016.1 version.
As a workaround, if you are using angular2 from your node_modules folder, then you can reference it directly instead of relying on the new node module resolution. For example you can do:
import {Directive} from '../../node_modules/angular2/core';
As of 02/2016, the issue is fixed in the ReSharper Ultimate 10.1 EAP 3
this version still has some other typescript issues though
Original answer, explaining why it couldn't work in previous versions:
Had the same setup and same issue. I strongly believe this is related to: "moduleResolution": "node"
https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/oauth?state=%2Fissue%2FRSRP-273158
Unfortunately, no way now. We're working on node.js support for the next ReSharper version.
If updating to latest ReSharper version does not work and this only affects .js(x) and .ts(x) files you only need to suspend those. You can do that by going to ReSharper -> Options -> Unclick JavaScript and TypeScript.
It could be Resharper problem. disable it from tools->option->Resharper Ultimate->General->Suspend Now and the errors will be hide.
I was getting the same problem on one of my modules on Resharper 2017.1 in Visual Studio 2017.
But after updating my Resharper to 2017.2.2, that solved the problem.

VS 2015 & vNext/MVC 6 IntelliSense issues - Resharper

I am having an issue with Visual Studio 2015 RC and IntelliSense when running the MVC6 vNext project template. The project builds and runs just fine and nuget restores packages if I manually remove them. The issue is that VS 'shows' that it cannot resolve my using statements throughout the project, thus breaking intellisense. Has anyone had this issue where it builds and runs fine but does not show the using statements as resolved?
OK, figured it out. Suspending resharper removed the red text, but still no intellisense. Tried to update resharper via the resharper menu in VS, this failed. Manually installed version 9.1.1 of resharper over version 9.0.0, this made everything happy again (full install removed previous version of resharper).
You need to use ReSharper 2016.2 or above to support .net core.
You can use the early access version available from https://confluence.jetbrains.com/display/ReSharper/ReSharper+2016.2+EAP
This is an issue of Resharper 9. Don't use Resharper 9 with MVC 6. It will suggest you the wrong path when you import CSS or JavaScript file to your page, as I said in this question.
So, the solution is: update to Resharper 10. However, there are many problem remains when using Resharper with MVC 6.

What development tool should I use to code in F#?

I got started with F# back in the day (before VS2010 beta); at the time, if I remember correctly, there was not an Express version of F#, but one could use the VS Shell (I think that was the name) and then install F# on top of it.
What's the current state of affairs? I've read out there that there's no 2010 Express version of F#; is there a 2010 Shell that one can download and install F# latest on top of? If not, what's the best way (if any) to code in F# 2010 for free?
I'm aware that asking for free stuff is A LOT to ask for. But this was possible in VS2008 and I'm wondering if it's also possible in VS2010.
Thanks!
PS - I believe (not sure though) that VS2010 beta can be downloaded for free; the problem with that is that when the final release comes out, one will have to pay for a license. For a guy who codes for fun like myself it doesn't make much sense to buy the full version if I can get the very basic features for free...
See
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/734525/getting-started-with-f
Basically right now you can use the free VS2008 integrated shell along with the F# CTP, or use the VS2010RC (which is free as a Beta).
(I don't know if there is a VS2010 shell published yet, and I don't know if the F# CTP works with it; for the moment, your best long-term-free strategy is to use 2008.)
I think you can also use SharpDevelop with F#:

If you mean visual F# the best tool is Visual Studio 2010 RC:
