Could not complete the action error

Question

I keep getting below message when I open any cshtml/aspx/ascx file in visual studio. I thought it is for any particular solution but it is happening for any solution(website) i open in visual studio. Not able to figure out , why this pop up message is showing.

I am using visual studio 2013 and I have not updated or changed any settings from last few days. Please help!!!!

I had same error. Error popped whenever I tried to paste code. It started after I used TFS Power Tools to unshelf a shelfset to a different branch. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16303506/unshelve-to-another-branch . I'm not 100% sure if it was caused by the action of installing tfpt, or the unshelf action. — Walter Stabosz, Jan 16 '17 at 18:53

Close Visual Studio
Delete the projectName.csproj.user file from the project folder
Open the solution... message should be gone

Also try updating visual studio

You could try disabling all extensions and see if that works. If it does re-enable one at a time to find the culprit.

Make sure your ".vb", ".c#" codefiles exist.

If that did not solve the problem, make sure that your class name in the file is the same as defined in line one of your aspx file:

ASPX file:

.VB or .C# File:

 Public Class MyTestClassFile
