I am trying to download ibm.data.db2 in Visual studio 2019 nuget packet. But for some reason only ibm.data.db2.core is available but a year back ibm.data.db2 was available. Is there a way I can download the older version or core works?
It has been removed from Nuget for unknown reason. I am also trying to find one. I had to copy the DLL and add a reference to it to run an old project.
Fortunately, I was able to find an archive and yet another one.
The removal probably has to do with it being out of support. Did you need support for it? I did not too.
I try to use the SQLite in the VS2017 in a universal windows platform project. I follow the guidance to download the SQLite extension for VS2015 although my local machine environment is VS2017, maybe this is the root cause? Then I add the reference with SQLIte. After that I installed the SQLitePCL with nuget.
After the SQLite installed, I wanted to try to run a demo to see if it can work right. But I found I can't using the namespace (using SQLite.Net.Attributes;) which it necessary for my demo.
I did some search about the SQLite and VS2017, But didn't found too much about such circumstances. So I want to know if anyone ever met such problem and How can your fix that?
Or it just unavailable to using SQLite in VS2017? If yes, can I complier a newest version about this?
Thanks everyone who can give me some reply or suggestion about this issue.
But I found I can't using the namespace (using SQLite.Net.Attributes;)
It seems like SQLite.Net.Attributes is belong to the Nuget package SQLite.Net-PCL, not SQLitePCL, the one you are using. SQLitePCL does't contain SQLite.Net.Attributes. You may obtain the package that is not you attempt to use.
There're many Nuget packages for SQLite, some of them are older with long time no updating. For UWP app, I'd recommend you to follow this tutorial to use a SQLite database in a UWP app.
I feel guilty asking a question like this around here, but I'm at a loss and would appreciate some help.
A proof-of-concept like web application was built on one PC and put up on a repo to download on another PC at a different location. There was originally an auto-build feature set up where Azure would build and publish automatically on check-in, but that was removed. Things were working on both ends until one side included a bulk of excluded changes. Now I'm seeing the following error:
The "Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.BuildTasks.Csc" task could not be
loaded from the assembly
...\packages\Microsoft.Net.Compilers.1.0.0\build..\tools\Microsoft.Build.Tasks.CodeAnalysis.dll.
Could not load file or assembly
'file:///...\packages\Microsoft.Net.Compilers.1.0.0\tools\Microsoft.Build.Tasks.CodeAnalysis.dll'
or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
Confirm that the declaration is correct, that the assembly
and all its dependencies are available, and that the task contains a
public class that implements Microsoft.Build.Framework.ITask.
Does anyone have any suggestions on where to begin looking for the issue?
It turns out that NuGet packages were committed to the repository and breaking everything. Deleting the project\project\packages directory from the repo solved all build problems since NuGet fetches the packages automatically on build.
I got this error when I created a new branch for my project.
It drove me crazy for an hour. I tried most of the suggestions over the internet including the accepted answer to this question.
I then closed the project, opened it again, cleaned it and the error is gone. So this means this could be cache issue.
Anyways, just wanted to share.
I too tried the top answer with no luck so deleted the contents of my bin and packages dir, closed and re-opened VS and everything fine now.
I have tried all solutions described before, but none worked.
What solved it for me, was to update the Microsoft.Net.Compilers from the NuGet Package Manager
Right-click on your solution.
Go to Manage Nuget Packages.
Search for Microsoft.Net.Compilers.
Install or update on dependent projects as necessary.
Re-build, clean solution and restart Visual Studio worked for me.
Deleting the package and cleaning the solution solved it for me.
Deleting these three directories solves the problem.
/packages
/bin
/obj
NOTE: delete both /bin and /obj from all projects included in the solution (including Test projects).
Problem hides on TFS, you need to remove folder TestProject...\packages from TFS, check in, delete it from your local dir and build again. Worked!
Use the below step:
1) Delete the package folder.
2) close the visual studio.
3) open the project and rebuild the project.
I delete all from packages folder and rebuild solution. It's worked for me.
In my case: this works for me.
It turns out my teammate had already started looking into Windows 10 development and had Microsoft Build Tools 2015 installed on his machine.
I installed the software from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48159 and the problem was solved.
In my case, the solution was:
Use Windows Explorer and navigate to the offending path:
C:\MyApplication\Code\Main\ABCProject\ABCProject.UI\Bin
Right click on bin folder > select properties > Uncheck ReadOnly.
In my case, the solution was:
Right Click on Solution.
Go to Manage Nuget Packages for this Solution.
Search for Microsoft.CodeDom.Providers.DotNetCompilerPlatform.
Uninstall the searched Package.
Restart the Visual Studio.
I just tried this on a clean install of a Windows 10 machine and the issue for me ended up being that I didn't have the .NET 3.5 framework installed. This stackoverflow question helps explain why.
Cannot build WIX project on windows 10
Right Click on Solution.
Go to Manage Nuget Packages for this Solution.
Search forMicrosoft.Net.Compilers on Browse Section.
Deleting the bin folder worked for me
In vs2017 community there appeared a new item in the "build" menu. It disappeared after I used it and was called something like "Optimise project build packages". I clicked it and it fixed everything, just restart etc. I did it on two machines.
What it did was removed Microsoft.net.compilers 2.10.0 and replaced with Microsoft.CodeDom.Providers.DotNetCompilerPlatform 2.0.1
So there you go - more automagic...
My project was built with .Net Core 2.2 but I had .Net core 3.0 preview installed. I uninstalled .Net Core 3.0 from my system and went through all my class libraries, removing Microsoft.Net.Compilers 3.0, then rebuilt and it worked.
I moved my solution from one drive to another, and one of the files could not be copied because "in used", for which I click ignored, producing the error described in this post. Copying the missing file manually fixed it.
file: Microsoft.Build.Tasks.CodeAnalysis.dll
Destination directory: packages\Microsoft.Net.Compilers.2.1.0\tools
For me I was trying to open a MVC5 project in VS 2013 and I was getting this error, Opened it in VS 2017 and up it worked just fine.
I am working on an ASP.NET web project in Visual Studio 2013 and it worked couple of hours before. But an hour ago I was tweaking something in the project and messed up the entire project. Is there anyway to restore to the version I had yesterday?
If you are using Version control, such as Mercurial, GIT, Subversion, TFS -- and you remembered to commit your work then YES, definitely.
If you're not using Version Control then you need to ask yourself why not? And don't turn off the computer today until you've corrected that oversight.
Also, you may have previous versions/restore points saved for you in Windows. In windows explorer, right click on the folder where your work is being saved and select properties. They may be a 'previous versions' tab, and inside there you may be able to revert to an earlier version. If so: lucky lucky you.
Also, if your work is being shared using a service like DropBox, you will be able to find earlier versions of your solution or project files.
There is one other technique, and I... I hesitate to mention this. What you need is a DeLorean car from the eighties, and enough plutonium to generate 1 point 21 GigaWatts. You also need.... forget it, no, Version Control is your best bet. Or Ctrl+Z.
Holding ctrl+z for a few minutes, and using version control are the only two ways I am aware of doing that..
In case you're like me and trying to recover from what you just did, if you saved your work to OneDrive, you can find the previous version of your work by logging into OneDrive through a web browser.
Newer versions of Visual Studio should have a "Timeline" feature that shows up in your left bar. It has probably been saving past versions of your files. But I would agree with others that using Version Control (like just committing your changes to a Github repo) is probably a smart idea!
I want to play around with Moq framework. I wanted to download the framework, so I reached http://code.google.com/p/moq/ through google, but the first line mentions that this project has been moved to GitHub. When I went to GitHub I see only the source code. My questions are :
1) Which is the correct web site to download Moq binaries.? (I do not want Source code.).
2) Why am I not able to view the binary files in the GitHub website for Moq. Is it that I need to download the source code and then compile it myself.?
3) Should I only go to GitHub website in future for any updates. Currently code.google.com/p/moq provides binary files.
The moq project now moved to github. The quickstart is also now on github
So to answer you questions:
You can get the latest version from nuget: http://nuget.org/packages/Moq/
Or download the latest binaries from github: https://github.com/Moq/moq4/releases
At the moment you can still download the old moq binaris from the Downloads page: https://code.google.com/p/moq/downloads/list (you can use to search filter if you are looking for older versions) or you can use
In the future a who knows where it be hosted, because it is an open source project you can create you own fork and maintain it to make sure that it will last until you need it.
