please help me or guide me, where i am wrong, what i am missing in configuration. i appreciate your valuable time and effort, thanks in advance.

@adrian you shouldn't, that might be part of your problem. Bin folder is rebuild at every build, it's not something that should make it into source control — Kritner
Not really sure... make sure your build server has the most up to date framework versions installed, the build server has access to the internet for nuget package restore, nuget package restore is enabled for the solution. Those errors look to me to be related to one of those things. — Kritner

finally i resolved my problem to remove the following tags or lines in .csproj file

right click on project unload it

right click on project to edit project file and remove the below code

1. <RestorePackages>true</RestorePackages>

2. <Import Project="$(SolutionDir)\.nuget\nuget.targets" />  

3. <Target Name="EnsureNuGetPackageBuildImports" BeforeTargets="PrepareForBuild">  
        <PropertyGroup>
            <ErrorText>This project references NuGet package(s) that are missing on this computer. Enable NuGet Package Restore to download them.  For more information, 
    see http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=322105. The missing file is {0}.</ErrorText>
        </PropertyGroup>
        <Error Condition="!Exists('$(SolutionDir)\.nuget\NuGet.targets')" Text="$([System.String]::Format('$(ErrorText)', '$(SolutionDir)\.nuget\NuGet.targets'))" />
    </Target>

under the solution Delete .nuget files from source control

reload project and build it

check in changes
