Answer 1

when you have tried everything else and still get the same trouble, there is a way out; however it will be tedious and need careful preparation.

Start another new project using existing files, or edit the project .csproj file if you are proficient in editing csproj (need backup). I will list steps for new project.

1. preparation:
   • note all references and their sources
   • note all included files from another project
2. rename the orginal projectname.csproj file
3. close solution/project
4. start new project using existing files(you will get errors from references)
5. add back the noted references
6. include/add existing file from other project(s)
