I have installed visual studio 2015 and when i started my project of VS 2013 into 2015. AFter opening .cshtml file i get error that error is logged in activity.xml file.

I have also tried to create new project and same problem is occuring in there. The ViewBag and Model doenst appear to known to IDE error as the viewbag doesnt exist in current context.

I opened the path and get the following error

System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.Web.BrowserLink.12.0, Version=12.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified. File name: 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.Web.BrowserLink.12.0, Version=12.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' at MadsKristensen.EditorExtensions.Html.HtmlViewCreationListener.textView_MouseHover(Object sender, MouseHoverEventArgs e) at Microsoft.VisualStudio.Text.Editor.Implementation.WpfTextView.RaiseHoverEvents() WRN: Assembly binding logging is turned OFF.

I followed these steps in order to completely re-install Visual Studio 2015 which solved the problem. Repair didnt work

run the command

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe /resetuserdata

Downloaded the web installer setup file and run the following command in the downloaded directory

    vs_community.exe /uninstall /force

After Uninstalling i made sure no file software related to VS is installed and restarted PC Installed new Visual Studio using Web Installer.

Run the command again.

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe /resetuserdata



  Updates were available inside Visual Studio , installed them - Restarted Visual Studio

    Now open any asp.net mvc solution it takes time though in start but after that it works.
