The referenced component 'Microsoft.VisualBasic' could not be found

Question

Got this in my warnings from today, still don't know why, but seems like the entire solution is running perfectly.

Should I be worried?

Can I just remove it from References?

Answer 1

The projects appear to reference Microsoft.VisualBasic, but if you check the csproj file you will see that they do not. If you remove the reference in Visual Studio that will fix it temporarily, but then closing and reopening Visual Studio makes the warning come back.

No, you should not be worried. This appears to be a bug in Visual Studio, hopefully they will fix it in the next version.
