Unable to compile Roslyn project - c#

Today I have installed Roslyn September 2012 CTP. I began with a sample console project. After the IDE finished creating the project code, I pressed F5. I ended up with a dozen compilation errors saying none of the Roslyn namespaces found. However the intellesence options are working fine for those references.
I tried with restarting the Visual Studio and even the my PC as per suggestions I found elsewhere. But none could resolve this. Is there anything that I am missing?

Rep whoring :)
As posted in the comments, this generally happens when there is a .NET Framework target mismatch. Your Visual Studio will be targeting a different version of .NET than what the project or a project reference was developed in.

Visual Studio doesn't build App packages any more

I don't know why but after upgrading Microsoft to the insider preview version. I know, it's always a bad idea to update anything but had to do it to get the new MR Headsets to work...
I downgraded again after visual studio was unable to create any app packages. And it still doesn't work.... tried to repair visual studio and still nothing. I know it's a VS issue because i can't even build older projects which always worked and which i haven't touched.
And now after reinstalling it tells me that the package is unavailable and that i should install windows10 sdk even tho i installed it 100x already.
Edit: I'm also constantly getting this error:
And even after installing the file suggested below nothing works.
I don't get my Microsoft keeps building shit that never works..
Sounds like you should try the last resort:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/install/remove-visual-studio
Use the InstallCleanup.exe to remove all things
There are known issues with using visual studio 2017, when doing hololens development, my stable environment is visual studio 2015 Update 3.0.0 and Unity 5.5 0f1. These I know will work together. Also, if you are trying to use the hololens toolkit, you will also have issues with the new versions of Visual Studio. So you will want to take the Dev branch and not master.

Cannot create tizen project in Visual Studio 2015 with Xamarin

This is my first time of using Visual Studio 2015 Community with Xamarin, and in using them to create Tizen apps.
In Visual Studio 2015, I chose File - New Project - Blank Tizen App (Tizen Xamarin.Forms Single). The files were generated, but virtually every keyword was not recognized i.e. red underline on them.
What configuration is wrong is my system, and how to fix them?
OK, so I did the following and it fixed this problem (somehow):
1. Uninstalled VS2015.
2. Reinstalled VS2015. I encountered installation failure on Roslyn and NDK-R11C.
3. I Ran VS2015 installer again in elevated mode (Run as Admin) and chose Repair. Roslyn was successfully installed but NDK-R11C was still failed, with the same error as before: Cannot extract the zip file to the target location.
4. Manually I ran the extraction of NDK using windows' default unzipper. I got unclear error message stating that NDK cannot be expanded.
5. Using Norton Commander, Extracted the zip file to the same target location. Success.
6. Ran VS2015, created the blank project. Now NuGet could get the updates, and after that the keywords were properly recognized.
I don't know, though, what was the connection between NDK and Tizen Extension. Maybe the act of reinstalling VS2015 just fixed the problem. At least now I got it now. Thanks all!.
I think it's bug of VS plugin. (it's preview version.)
Project - Unload project and Project - Reload project
I think this should solve your problem.

C# 6 error messages on VS2013 despite using Microsoft.Net.Compilers nuget package

Over half of our 50 man development team still uses Visual Studio 2013. Despite this, we would like to use C# 6. So we tried using this solution: https://stackoverflow.com/a/32010632/3997704.
Compilation with Microsoft.Net.Compilers works fine, as does our CI environment. However, Visual Studio shows a lot of errors in the Error List related to C# 6 features. I tried getting rid of the errors by using clean solution, rebuild, restarting Visual Studio and clearing ReSharper caches but none worked.
Even though you install the Microsoft.Net.Compilers package in your project, Visual Studio still uses the C# 5 compiler for the editor. That's why it compiles the C# 6 code, but the editor doesn't understand it. Unfortunately, there is no way to change the compiler editor uses and probably never will be.
So the only way for the full C# 6 support is to upgrade to Visual Studio 2015.

Prism PopupWindowAction causes error in visual studio 2015

I am using the PopupWindowAction from assembly 'Microsoft.Practices.Prism.Interactivity'
When I build my application the build succeeds and the application runs and works correctly however I loose designer support for my view due to the following error:
The type 'PopupWindowAction' from assembly 'Microsoft.Practices.Prism.Interactivity' is built with an older version of the Blend SDK, and is not supported in a Windows Presentation Framework 4 project
This issue did not occur in visual studio 2013. Can anyone suggest how I resolve the issue?
I had the exact same problem, and I finally resolved this by reinstalling Visual Studio 2015. I did this after realizing that my colleagues did not experience the same behavior.

When creating a WCF project in VS2010, I get "Error : WcfProject.csproj cannot be opened. The project type is not supported by this installation"

hey there. So, we have a VS2010 project and the VisualSVN server on one machine. We added a new machine with the client visual svn and the projected loaded in. except for the WCF service. i'm getting a...
" error : the project file c:/..../wcfProject.csproj cannot be opened.
The project type is not supported by this installation."
i've checked the directory, the files and file structure are there and the same as the main development machine. any tips/solutions?
thanks
David K.
I had a similar problem with some WCF solution which I downloaded from a blog.
The solutions of running deveng with the switches did not resolve my issues. After some more searching it turned out that the following clue in the answer of Ralph Willgoss lead to the solution of my problem:
I resolved it by installing the Visual Web Developer.
I also had to (manually) install the Web Platform Installer to (automatically) download the last requirements for the project to properly load.
I had a similar problem when trying to create a new project of the following types:
WCF Service Application
WCF Work Flow Service Application
Syndication Service Library
I was using Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit, with no other versions of Visual Studio installed.
I also had tried many other options, such as:
devenv /resetsettings
devenv /resetskippkgs
ensuring I had C++ option of VS2010 installed
VS2010 Service Pack 1
I resolved it by installing the Visual Web Developer.
There are a few things this could be so I can't give you one specific answer. However, here are a few things to try on your machine that is throwing the error:
First, verify which version of Visual Studio is set as the default for opening csproj files. It could be that you installed SQL or something else that uses an older version of Visual Studio. Sometimes that can give an error. Even if the default is the Visual Studio version selector I've seen it throw an error. Open up the correct version of Visual Studio (through the Programs menu) and then inside Visual Studio try to open the package. If that works, you know the issue is with which version is opening the file.
If that doesn't work, you could try resetting the Visual Studio settings. From the run menu type devenv /setup This should reset the Visual Studio environment and hopefully it will fix the issue. If this does not work, try running devenv /ResetSkipPkgs from the Run menu. This will try to load any packages that Visual Studio previously skipped.
If these steps don't work, let us know. Give us any further error messages that come up after attempting these steps.
