Answer 1

I had the same issue after I manually copied the referenced DLL file. I solved it by displaying the reference properties in the Solution explorer then changing the Specific version setting from True to False and finally changing it back to True. I rebuild and... it works just fine. Do not ask me why...

Note : I had to do the same for each project which had the CS0234 error message

PS : in my case Visual studio version is 16.1.6

In this case what I had to do was to delete everything in the obj folder beneath our project main folder. The solution's name is CoreFramework and the main project's name is also CoreFramework. So what I did was go to \CoreFramework\CoreFramework\obj and deleted everything there. Since at this point we're only dealing with a debug version, the only thing there was the Debug folder and all temporary files and folders under that. Once I did that, then rebuilding the solution re-created all of the temporary files and folders, without the problem I was having with the Assets folder. It built fine.

YMMV
