how to fix error C++ command-line error: cannot open metadata file

Kevin 0

I'm trying to make a windows form but in the premade C++ file it gives this error "C++ command-line error: cannot open metadata file." I did add a form and it worked perfectly but there was a bug that fixes when you delete it and make a new form, but when it's made it gives the error, here's a picture.

Can you provide detailed steps to reproduce the problem:
1.Which project template did you use to create the project?
2. How did you delete the files and what files were deleted?

Try closing Visual Studio, deleting the .vs file in the solution folder, and then reopening the project.
Right Click project -> Clean.

Probably this kind of errors can be ignored, if persists. Try to select “Build Only” instead of “Build + IntelliSense” from the dropdown list.
