Visual Studio Solution Unavailable (reload doesn't work)

Pardon_me picture Pardon_me · Sep 15, 2014 · Viewed 81.7k times · Source

I am downloading a sample program for a barcode reader that I am using. Everytime I download the program and run it I am prompted with the error in my solution explorer (see image below).

Any suggestions? Everytime I right click and reload project, it reloads quickly and then reverts back to unavailable.

Suggestions?

EDIT: Here is the link to the project (scroll to the bottom, PC Sample Program)

I faced this problem recently. The procedure below worked for my solution:

  1. Right click the project which is not loading, in VS Solution Explorer
  2. Click on Remove and confirm the removing process
  3. Right click the Solution and select Add > Existing Project
  4. Browse to the .csproj file in the project folder

If the above procedure does not work, then check the .NET targeted framework. May be Framework Incompatibility must be also one reason of the problem

Problem Solved :)
