Go To Definition in aspx pages are broken (Visual Studio 2019 Enterprise) - asp.net

I have installed Resharper's Trial version followed by OzCode extension and at some point of time, navigating to Definition capability in aspx web forms got broken. It is killing my productivity and I would really appreciate some suggestions.

Visual Studio C# ASP .NET Web Form Designer Error

Ok, so I start a new project in Visual Studio (currently updated to update 3) and choose ASP.NET Web Application (.NET Framework).
Then I choose the Empty template and to add the folders and core references for Web Forms.
Ok, great, so I add a webform to the project and then find there's a problem:
Design view or even Split view is not available for the new aspx page.
Pressing the buttons 'Design' or 'Split' do nothing and only the source is seen, which also becomes uneditable.
Now I have seen this issue before and searched and searched for an answer. But the only solution was a complete reinstall - this means a few GB download and then hours of the install program doing whatever it does (it is the slowest install for anything on any platform).
This issue seems to occur randomly, and once it occurs, it seems to be permanent, short of a complete reinstall of VS.
Is this a fault in Visual Studio that will never be fixed?
Does someone actually know how to fix this other than a complete reinstall?
Please do not suggest to try 'Open With' on the aspx file - yes I have tried every option and the original default is the correct one.
Answers from the Microsoft forum are about as helpful as giving wheels to a tomato, such as here. It has even been highlighted for Visual Studio 2008 here. Someone seems to have tried to raise the issue last year here.

ASP.NET Precompile with non updateable UI

I want to compile my ASP.NET web forms project into one single dll (which I think is possible) and copy that to the hosting server. As I want to protect all of my code.
In the solution explorer, if I right click the project and go to publish there are various options which I have played around with to precompile the site. The best result I have got so far is precompiled c# code and aspx pages. Unfortunately all of the javascript is still in its normal state.
I think I need to use the Merge all outputs into a single assembly option, but this unfortunately throws the errors: Target GenerateAssemblyInfoFromExistingAssembleInfo Failed
and #(_AspNetCompile_AssemblyInfo_Count) have 0 item(s) in the collection. It should only have 1 item(s)
I've tried looking in the msdn docs for information on how to best do this, and there is some information relating to the command line, but I couldn't quite follow it.
I'm using .net 4.5 & visual studio express for web 2013.
If anyone can point me in the direction of a tutorial, or just give me some help. It would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Website running .NET 3.5 cannot use feature not part of ISO-2 specs

I am getting this error a lot:
Feature '{insert feature here}' cannot be used because it is not part of the
ISO-2 C# language specification
I am working on a .NET 3.5 website that I've worked on on and off for about two years. I've never seen this error before my most recent around of updates. I'm using a decent amount of LINQ coding throughout and I get these errors related to much of the LINQ code. Based on what I've read it seems like even though I'm using .NET 3.5, for some reason it thinks I'm using 2.0. But I can't find anything that says how to fix it.
One example of a problem is that if I try to add a new item to the App_Code directory, I do not get the option to add a LINQ to SQL dbml file.
If anyone can shed some light on how exactly I would fix this, I would much appreciate it.
I was unable to locate an "Advanced" option under the build tab. I have a feeling it is probably because it is a web app. I looked through the web.config and found 2 parts that may be important. Most things referenced 3.5.0.0 or v3.5. The settings are consistent with older backups of the web.config from when there were no errors. By the way, only intellisense and things within VS2010 are giving me problems. The website is running error free.
I have completed a total uninstall and re-install of VS2010 and I'm still having the same issue. I fired up my old install of VS2008 and I am NOT having this issue there. However, I would MUCH prefer to use VS2010 on this project.
I opened the website in VS2010 on my work computer, and there are no errors reported. This is making me think that there is something on my laptop that is causing the problem. As I noted above, I completely reinstalled Visual Studio 2010 and I am still having the problem. What does this leave? I have only one extension installed in VS, and it's the same one at work and on my laptop. Also, I did not reinstall the extension after reinstalling VS, and the problem persists.
Both PC's run Win7 Ultimate. Have VS2008 and VS2010 installed. VS2010 has the same extension installed on both. On my laptop I have the full version of SQL Server 2008 installed, but only the Management Studio on my desktop (we have a server in the office). Would SS2008 have anything to do with it?
Go to your project properties, the Build tab, Advanced - that should allow you to set which version of C# you want to use. It should default to the latest version supported by the version of Visual Studio you're using, but it sounds like at some point you've switched it to ISO-2.
(That's certainly true for Windows projects and class libraries - there may be a different location in a web app. In particular, have a look in Web.config.)
If this has only started happening recently, I'd have a look through your source control history at changes to any configuration files. Also try creating a new project of the same type, and see if that has the same problem.
Jon Skeet's answer is mostly correct. The location for the update is in the "Property Pages" which I got to by right-clicking on the name of the website, clicking Property Pages, the Build item, then target framework.
The extension I use, Solution Navigator, has it's own heading for the solution. Right-clicking on it DOES NOT give me the Property Pages option. By chance I right clicked on the title of the website under the solution heading and was presented with the Property Pages option. In there was the Build tab which contained the target framework option.
Once I finally found the target framework option, it was indeed set to .NET 2.0 for some reason. I changed it to 3.5, reloaded the solution, and now it works great.
Thanks a million Jon for your help and time working with me!!

TFS 2010 - TF14040 The Folder may not be checked out

I have a .NET 4 website in VS2010 stored in a TFS 2010 team project. I need to add a reference to System.Data.Linq.dll to the website. I am referencing a LINQ DataContext that is defined in another project and I get build errors saying that I need the reference to System.Data.Linq. I go up to the "Add Reference" menu option and add it like I would any normal reference, and it even shows up in the Web.config and in the Properties pages for the website... BUT if I build I still get the same error.
So I found a place in my code where I was referencing the LINQ count function and it told me it was invalid because I was missing a reference and it offered to add the reference automatically. I told it to add the reference automatically and it is at this point that I get the error mentioned in the subject:
TF14040: The folder $/Folder/Subfolder may not be checked out. No items were checked out
I've done some research online but I haven't been able to find much. I saw on a blog that making the folder not readonly fixed the issue for him, but it didn't seem to work for me unless I misunderstood something.
I tried loading up the project from source control onto a fresh computer where that project had never been loaded before and I can reproduce the issue the same way. Help would be greatly appreciated.
FWIW, this error also occurs in different circumstances. I had the same error today from the command line when trying to use tfs checkout SomeFolder /login:user,password, although this was not within the context of an asp.net app, I'm currently working on dependency replication. For me, adding the /recursive command worked, like this:
tfs checkout SomeFolder /recursive /login:user,password
The hint to try that came from here, by the way.
I have no idea if this is your problem but I've noticed that TFS2010 seems to have some bug somewhere around folder renames/deletes/changes or something. The bugs seem to go away when you check everything in and try again after the folder change has been saved to source control. I have hit this issue a dozen times this week but don't know exactly what the scenarios are. It's quite frustrating.
I figured it out, but it's a little strange. I had some build errors that I hadn't fixed yet, also my web.config file used to be for a 3.5 SP1 site and I upgraded the site to 4.0. Somewhere along the line the build errors and the web.config combined to form this strange weird error that apparently has nothing to do with TFS.
I figured it out by creating a new website and slowly moving over portions of my site to that new site. Things didn't go totally crazy until I moved over my web.config. So I went back and updated my web.config file so that it more closely matched the way a .Net 4 web.config should by trimming out a lot of stuff and now things are good and building fine. Thanks for the help.

Visual Studio 2010 hangs when starting asp.net site debugging

i have problem with Visual Studio 2010 on Windows 7 x64. When i started asp.net site debugging, it stoped working. Only solution is restarting IIS.
Have anyone experiences with this?
Thanks
As Peter mentioned, manually attaching through the Attach to Process dialog should work.
Another option is to temporarily update your project to .NET Framework v4.0. In the IDE, this can be done in 'Build' section of under project properties.
We are still investigating the issue to find a longer term solution.
Sorry for the inconvenience that this problem has caused.
This M$ Connect article points straight to the topic: http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/556000/vs-2010-hangs-when-debugging-asp-net-3-5-web-application-or-website
Apart from the different intermediate solutions proposed, there seems to be an official Microsoft VS 2010 HotFix available here: http://archive.msdn.microsoft.com/KB2106584/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=4834.
HTH
Here's a workaround that helped me:
Go to Debug->Attach to Process. If the 'Attach To' box says 'Automatic: Native code' then click the 'Select...' button. In the 'Select Code Type' dialog change the option from 'Automatically determine the type of code to debug' to 'Debug these code types' and choose ONLY the options for you project. For me this was 'Managed (v2.0, v1.1, v1.0)'. Click OK. Then click Cancel in the 'Attach to Process' dialog.
At this point I'm now able to do F5 Debugging.
I hope this helps!
For what it is worth I had this problem this morning out of nowhere. In my case I am converting a database into webpages and one of the folders of one of the projects in my solution now has over 200 thousand html web pages. As soon as I one off'd my solution and removed the project with the giant folder debugging worked again.
This is not unlike what happens when performing a global search and vs 2010 tries to search a folder with an enormous # of files.
