My local install of VS2019 (16) seems to be missing references to BrowserLink. I've tried repairing the installation, and installing multiple different SDK's to no avail.
Where is BrowserLink normally located? And what is the mechanism that causes it to be loaded in development versions? It doesn't seem to be packaged seperately from VS since version 12, unless you are using the new .net core versions.
We have checked the GAC, NuGET, and are running out of options.
It's a .net 4.5 project, if that's relevent.

The root cause is almost certainly something to do with the dumb way this project has a shared non-standard assembly cache, and doesn't fallback to normal dev locations, but the question is about what the normal location/mechanism is for BrowserLink (16) to be loaded.
If you have installed your VS2019 in default options, you can find the Browser Link library files in this path:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Professional\Common7\IDE\Extensions\Microsoft\Web Tools\Browser Link
(Replace the path of your installation location as appropriate)
You can then decide whether to copy Microsoft.WebTools.BrowserLink.*.dll to the assembly cache of your application or include this path in your application.

I was able to use nanoframework normally but somehow the DeviceExplorer no longer opens now.
I checked the ActivityLog.xml and it shows the following error:

I want to highlight that my Visual Studio nanoframework extension is set to update automatically and it sounds like it recently got updated to 2019.5.0.34
I am using Visual Studio Profession 2019 16.8.3
Disabling/Enabling the extension, restarting the visual studio did not help.
Any clue what could be causing this issue?
You should update Visual Studio to 16.9 or higher.

If you, on your local development machine, have MySql.Data in your GAC, it will not be in your Web app's bin directory. And if it is that bin directory that gets deployed, Sql.Data will not be there. Do not expect a hosting provider to have all kinds of assemblies in the GAC.
So the solution is to deploy all the assemblies your Web app needs. Deploy MySql.Data, and any other assemblies that it depends upon, along with your Web application.
For the same reason, it is a good idea not to install ASP.NET MVC in your GAC but to simply reference it and deploy it along with your Web application.
I am trying to provide a colleague with a dll that is from my build so she can execute with the changes i have made. Unfortunately she gets the following error
The system was unable to launch the requested screen. --->
Unable to display screen.
---> System.IO.FileLoadException: Could not load file or assembly 'file:///name.dll' or one of its dependencies. Operation is not
supported. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131515) --->
System.NotSupportedException: An attempt was made to load an assembly
from a network location which would have caused the assembly to be
sandboxed in previous versions of the .NET Framework. This release of
the .NET Framework does not enable CAS policy by default, so this load
may be dangerous. If this load is not intended to sandbox the
assembly, please enable the loadFromRemoteSources switch
Now if she were trying to run it in visual studio i could set the loadFromRemoteSources switch - however this dll is replacing a dll in an install version on a vagrant box. How can i enable the dll to run in this scenario?
Thanks
Been searching for ages, can't find anything helpful. Here is the exception I'm getting:

This applications works fine on the test server but is throwing this exception on the production server. As you can see, the StructureMap code is what is causing the exception.
I had to convert this app to .NET 4 from 4.5 because 4.5 wasn't installed on the production server. After the conversion, the app still works fine on my local machine and the test server.
I have already set the Copy Local to True for the System assembly, but since the referenced version is 4.0.0.0 and not 2.0.5.0, I this made no difference.
Let me know if any more info is needed. Any help you may be able to provide is appreciated.
Make sure your .NET framework is patched. Microsoft released patches to .NET to allow Portable Class Libraries to properly find the appropriate runtime (KB2468871). If you are seeing the above exception (or something like it), it means you're missing the latest .NET framework patches.
Edit the web.config file to remove the reference, which is not required for normal operation:
1 - Open the web.config file in the root of your site
2 - Find the following line and comment it out():xxxxx-is your assembly name.
<add assembly="xxxxx", Version=2.0.5.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35"/>
3 - Save and close the web.config file and try again
I found that it was the "await" and "async" that where giving me trouble.
I had Windows XP SP3 with only .NET 4.0, but had to update it to .NET 4.0.3 using KB2600211 - this wasn't updated automatically through Windows Update when .NET 4.0.3 came out because the computer is off-grid.

I just want to share another solution from here that solved the problem on my development machine: installing Silverlight 5 SDK (only 11.2MB at the time of writing this post) was enough to make everything working.
Install Microsoft® Silverlight® 5 SDK from the following link. It resolves and works fine for me.
SDK download
Starting from a machine configuration that only had VS2017 and Silverlight 5 SDK on it, I installed VS2015 on top of that. This is when I started getting the System.Core and System.Windows problems.
When I uninstalled VS2015 and re-installed Silverlight 5 SDK, these problems went away.
