Failed to load receiver assembly - FileNotFoundException

Struggling with this, project builds and deploys when I don't have EventReceivers in my Features, and fails when I do. I'm not entirely sure which file the FileNotFoundException is referring to

Error given in visual studio

Error   1   Error occurred in deployment step 'Activate Features': Failed to load receiver assembly "Decisions.Features, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=8d09acb153961cfd" for feature "Decisions.Features_DeployDecisionCommittee" (ID: 779492d8-f053-45ce-8340-5fa6d7f87a90).: System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'Decisions.Features, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=8d09acb153961cfd' or one of its dependencies.

This is what worked for me,

First resolution:
·          Retract the Solution/WSP in VS.
·          Close VS.
·          Reopen VS and deploy the Project.

Second resolution:
If closing VS after retraction doesn't solve the problem then a larger workaround is:
·          Redeploy the project -> This will show an error during feature activation.
·          Go to SharePoint UI and Activate and then Deactivate the deployed feature that was showing activation error in VS.
·          Retract the Solution/WSP in VS.
·          Close VS.
·          Reopen VS and deploy the Project.

This works for me.

Right click on the project and select properties. In the properties menu, choose signing. While in the signing tab, under choose a strong name key file select new and key in a key name. Then select no password needed. After all is done rebuild the file and you can start deploying.

This worked for me: Change the version of your VS project in assembly information. For example, i changed the assembly and file version to 1.1.0.0 instead of 1.0.0.0.

Deployed and no problems.

Afterwards i could just set it back to 1.0.0.0 and continue on deploying without errors or problems...
