When I am opening a .sln in Visual Studio 2010, projects are loading properly. But when I open the same solution with Visual Studio 2015 (Professional with Update 1), projects are not getting loaded with the error (load failed). This is shown below:
Can anyone suggest the solution for this?
user path and delete it. Open Visual Studio as an administrator. Clean the solution. Build and run the project again.
Why does this happen? Generally, it is because the path of project has been changed or its name has been changed. Regardless of the changed path or name, Visual Studio failed to load the project because it could not be found based on the original path.
Right click on the project folder and click Reload project. You will see the projects and folders that you originally had. You will see .
In Solution Explorer, select the projects you want to load (press Ctrl while clicking to select more than one project), and then right-click on the project and choose Reload Project. Visual Studio will remember which projects are loaded the next time you open the solution locally.
I experienced this issue for different reasons , but deleting all of the .vs folders ( there was one at the solution level and some projects had their own ) worked for me .
How To: Close the solution , delete all the .vs folders , reopen the solution .
