Project Template Not Updating on Build - forms

I've been working on a project template today, first time doing so but it has been going alright. I'm almost finished but have now run into some weird issue I can't figure out.
For some reason which I don't know, whenever I try and debug my project template it is now stuck to using some old version of it. No matter what or how much I change then rebuild and try to debug - it still uses some weird old version stuck in some sort of limbo.
I can't seem to figure out where it's finding this file, I've cleared my temp folder. It doesn't show up as installed when I go to Manage Extensions in Visual Studio.
Any ideas what might have happened? There are no errors or warnings.

I was able to solve this by deleting all files inside %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\16.0_cfa111feExp\Extensions. After doing so, I restarted VS and loaded up my project and rebuild (not build) the solution.
After that, it now shows the up-to-date version of the project template. What caused this and how to potentially prevent it in the future - I still have absolutely no idea.
I use Visual Studio 2019 Version 16.4.2

SwiftUI builds successfully but preview fails

I'm on the latest OS and Xcode version (11.2) and for some reason my canvas just will not build. I keep getting X is not a member of PROJECT error. It's driving me insane. It was working not that long ago and I have no idea what changed to make it fail like this. I've also tried deleting Derived Data, restarting laptop...
I've made sure that all my files are included in my target and everything looks like it should be working properly, the app itself builds perfectly fine it's just the preview
The solution to my problem was that I had a file within my project named the same as my project name. The error messaging was not useful at all in solving this, but once I had renamed that file, the preview began working again.
So I had this same issue except I found out it was because I have custom build configurations and it didn't like the custom module name Xcode made. The solution was to rename the module to the same thing as debug and release in Build Settings > Product Module Name
I hope this helps someone

Getting "Error: Failed to connect to OmniSharp"

I'm trying to get VSCode working with my Unity projects, and every time I select the Project icon (the little fire at the bottom) I get the following error:
Error: Failed to connect to OmniSharp
Is anyone else getting this?
You need to download the most recent version of "mono". Open up terminal and pass in brew install mono. Then "Pick a project" and select the ..-csharp.sln file and you should be up and running.
Ok, made some progress and gotten a few Unity projects working. It seems that you need some prerequisites installed, a clean up of your Unity project folder, and possibly some hand editing of your .sln and .csproj files.
I posted a (possibly) better answer over on Reddit. Hope that's not breaking stack etiquitte.

i get this on windows when my project directory has a space in it
i removed the space and removed the error
i expect it will be fixed soom
I have a completely different answer: it's the runtime that VSCode is using. It doesn't match up with what it thinks it needs. I have to remember that we're still in beta and that things are changing rapidly. I had my dnvm running beta 7, but VSCode (and OmniSharp, by extension) is looking for beta 6, so it was failing. I updated my runtime using this this post as a clue. Now I have VSCode 0.7.0 using the beta 6 runtime. I have no idea how to tell what it's looking for...I just guessed based on when they were both released. HTH

have to restart the jaspersoft studio if the customized jasper function library get changed

guys. I am using jaspersoft studio 5.6.0 final.
I am having a weird issue that whenever I made new changes to my own functions library. jaspersoft studio DOES NOT recompile it automatically. If I clean and build the project manually, the generated report won't take advantage of the new changes.
It happens to me (using windows7) and my teammates (using mac)
As a result, I have to restart the whole program all the time.
And, even if I do that, my function library sometime works and sometime don't. (no idea why)
Hope anyone can help me. Thanks a lot.
To solve this isuue you should enable build automatically
on the top click on project and check build automatically

Metro App cannot open package.appxmanifest

I have this Metro App project that I just tried building for the Windows Store.
After completing the buildprocess (with no errors) I can't open the appxmanifest xml file in visual studio anymore. If I select "STORE" > "Edit App Manifest" I get the following error message: "Value does not fall within the expected range."
I can't open any manifest file in any project now.
Does anybody know whats happening, do I need to reinstall Visual Studio or whats going on?
I'm pretty desperate, so any suggestions are welcome.
Found the answer here http://forums.asp.net/t/1836720.aspx/ - so i tried deleting the .suo files from the project, and now it seems to work. I have no clue why that would affect newly created/other/checked out projects, weird behavior indeed?
(Since I am both new to SO and to Visual Studio, I don't know if answering my own question is considered bad practice, if it is, please let me know what I should do instead)
It's an XML file, so you could try to open it with a text editor to figure out if there's an invalid value set somewhere. You could always compare to a default Package.appxmanifest from a new project.
Can your fellow coworker open the manifesting file you're having trouble with?
The first thing to check is to make sure you are running Visual Studio as an admin. (Right click, run as administrator)
Try creating a completely new project. Save it without modifications. Build it. See if you can open the manifesting file in that project. If you can't, try a XAML/C# project instead of JS just to see if something is wrong with the specific project type.
And before you try completely reinstalling, you might try resetting your Visual Studio settings. Make sure to take a backup just in case you need to get your environment back to where it was once you find the issue.

Netbeans compile error, why does it mean?

I finished a Netbeans project a few months ago, it was successfully done, finished. But the strange thing is today I happen to look into it and recompiled it, haven't changed anything, but got the following error, I vaguely remember I encountered similar situations before, just recompile and it will be fine, but not this time, I recompiled a few times, same error, restarted the PC, and recompiled again, same error :
build-impl.xml:501: copylibs doesn't support the "indexMetaInf" attribute
I never touched this file and have no idea why it worked fine, but failed this time, what's wrong and what's the fix ?
It seems that the problem is in version of Ant and new Ant attribute indexMetaInf.
I have the same problem and think it'll be worth to explain how I've got it.
How to obtain the problem:
I use NetBeans 6.8.
Recently I installed NetBeans 7.0. Just for acquaintance with new features.
I accepted to use old NB6.8 configuration, when NB7.0 asked me on the first launch.
That was mistake!
So. I started NB7.0 and my good old NB6.8 projects were there, in the projects list.
The problem is that NB7.0 not only imported my old projects in its projects list; but also
changed build-impl.xml of those projects.
And when I opened my projects in NB6.8 and tryed to compile them, there was that error with "indexMetaInf".
The essence of the problem:
In NB6.8 the Ant 1.7.1 is used, by default. And it seems that attribute "indexMetaInf" is only supported by
latest versions of Ant (maybe starting with 1.8.x). That new version of Ant was installed with NB7.0 and is used by NB7.0 only.
NB6.8 doesn't see it.
How to fix the problem:
I updated build-impl.xml file from subversion and it fixed the problem.
In my previous version of build-impl.xml there was no indexMetaInf.
Had the same problem, fixed it by copying the file org-netbeans-modules-java-j2seproject-copylibstask.jar from [netbeans]\java\ant\extra into the directory myProject\lib\CopyLibs
Strange thing happened again, this time good. I had a backup DVD, from a few weeks ago, I copied the project back, now it's compiling fine again, seems to me the project somehow got corrupted, I did a C: drive defragmentation last week, could it somehow moved some files around and messed up a bit ? Anyhow, not a problem now.
What platform are you using? I've had some odd errors like that on Unix due to trying to compile the project from the command line and having a older version of ant in my path.
