I previously asked a similar question regarding Visual Studio 2013 but now I'm running into the same problem with Visual Studio 2015 but it seems to work differently, which makes the previous answer not applicable to this question. This is my previous question: Visual Studio 2013 - How to debug a project within a solution
I'm attempting to add a project reference. I have a library I'm working on in a separate solution/project and a console application I want to use to test and debug the library.
I tried: Add Reference > Projects > Solution > Browse
But the open file dialog does not contain .sln files in the filter list and if I force it to display them by typing *.sln and then select the Solution I get:
"Please make sure the file is accessible and that it is a valid assembly or COM component."
What am I doing wrong? How do I properly add a Solution/Project reference?

Restart Visual Studio, create a new C# UWP app project, and then right-click on the project and choose Add Reference. Go to the Windows tab, then the Extensions sub-tab, and select the Extension SDK. Look at the right pane in the Reference Manager.
To fix a broken project reference by correcting the reference path. In Solution Explorer, right-click your project node, and then select Properties. The Project Designer appears. If you're using Visual Basic, select the References page, and then click the Reference Paths button.
Right click on project --> Add Reference --> Select the reference project from the list.
a Right-click the project in the Solution Explorer pane and select Add Project to Source Control. Note that within solutions that are not under source control, you can only add one project at a time.
For me issue was due to difference in Target framework. One was .NET Framework 4.5 and other was .NET Framework 4.5.2
Verify if the Target framework is same for your project and the project reference that you are trying add reference.
(Right click on project -> properties -> Application Tab(Target frame work))
