Now Here is a different approach to the problem:

• Right click on the project and select the 'Unload Project' option. You will notice you project becomes unavailable.

• Right click on the unavailable project and select the 'Edit' option.

• Scroll down to the ' < ItemGroup > ' tag that contains all the resource tags.

• Now go to the reference that has been displayed on the error list, you will notice it it uses a single tag (i.e. < Reference Include="assemble_name_here, Version=0.0.0.0, Culture=neutral" / >).

    < HintPath > path_here\assemble_name_here.dll < / HintPath >
< / Reference >

• Save your changes, Right click on the unavailable project again and click on the 'Reload Project' option, then build.
