The system cannot find the reference specified - vb.net

I've created project in VB 2019, was working ok. But due to some problem, I formated my PC & re-installed all the software. Now I realize that path of all the references I used in my project are missing and it shows "The system cannot find the reference specified".
Pls help how to resolve this issue.

You can just remove a reference and then re-add it from the appropriate location. You can do it all from the References page of the project properties or you can remove them in the Solution Explorer first. I'd suggest taking a screenshot first, so that you won't forget any.

Find/Remove all uses of VBA reference

I have an old spreadsheet that used date picker from MSCOMCT2.OCX. Then the computer I used it on died. Unfortunately the Microsoft KB article that has the download for MSCOMCT2.OCX only has a dead link.
My only recourse is to remove the reference to MSCOMCT2.OCX and use other methods to pick the date. I have removed the object from the spreadsheet and all references I can find to it in the code, but when I go to remove it I get an error message stating that the "Can't remove control or reference, in use"
How can I find where it is still being referenced?
Unfortunately the solution seem to be that you have to have to fix the broken link before you remove it. I finally found a copy of the .cab file at archive.org. Once I installed it following these instructions I was able to open my file and remove the reference without issue.

Microsoft.Office.Interop doesn't contain any public member or couldn't be found

Having a warning in my solution:-
Warning 306 Namespace or type specified in the Imports
'Microsoft.Office.Interop' doesn't contain any public member or cannot
be found. Make sure the namespace or the type is defined and contains
at least one public member. Make sure the imported element name
doesn't use any aliases.
I added a reference to the Microsoft 11.0 Object Library, but the warning remains.
I note that when adding the reference, the path shown in the Add Reference dialogue was C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\OFFICE11\MSL.DLL, which exists, but in the Properies screen the path is given as C:\WINDOWS\assembly\GAC\Office\11.0.0.0__71e9bce111e9429c\Office.dll, which doesn't.
My Question: Is this the right thing to include? If it is, why does it not work? If not, what should I be using?
I suspect this problem is causing a number of the 300-odd compilation errors currently being reported.
This is Visual Basic 2010 Express running on Windows XP.
Try this:
You have to remove old reference of that file add new reference as when we are copying file from one machine to another machine the reference for assembly is some time also taking from copied machine.
so you can check this,
Select ->Properties of project
Go to the reference 3.check the reference of assembly exists or not
if path showing "The system cannot find the reference specified"
remove the reference and add the new reference

System.InvalidOperationException is scaring me

I recently reset my whole laptop. After the reset, I installed all of my programmes, including Visual Studio 2013 (I had 2012 on my last build). I then dumped my projects into the projects folder of 2013 and...I COULDN'T RUN MY PROJECT!!! I can view the code and the designer but I can't run it.
The error is from Application.Designer.vb and it is a "System.InvalidOperationException" error. Under additional information, it says "An error occured creating the form. See Exception.InnerException for details. The error is: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. Highlighted is Me.MainForm = Global.MyApplicationName.Form1
I have checked msdn for answers about System.InvalidOperationException but haven't found any fixes that work.
I really don't know what to do and don't want to lose my application as I've spent a fair bit of time on it.
I have 2 suggestions to try
Open Application.Designer.vb and just delete the word Global.
Exclude (not delete) the mainform (Form1, apparently) from the project. Save it. Then include it again and go to Project Properties and make it the startup form again.
I've had similar issues (without the exception) when reorganizing pieces of large solutions into other namespaces. Often, I need to drill into the designers to change a ref to get it to run and it is usually removing 'Global' and/or adding the new Namespace ref. In your case, it sounds like a similar reference in the project did not get updated from 2012.
If that is the case, the second way should get VS to write back all the files in a manner that it likes.

Multiple Resources.Designer files in Visual Studio project

I recently upgraded from VS 2010 to VS 2012. On one project I am getting an error message that I can't seem to get around. It is "module 'Resources' and module 'Resources' declared in 'C:\Users\Tom\Documents\Visual Studio 2012\Projects\Back Issue\BICustomer\My Project\Resources.Designer.vb', conflict in namespace 'Resources'". When I go to the referenced 'My Project' folder, I find both a file named 'Resources.Designer.vb' and one named 'Resources1.Designer.vb', which seems to be the root of my problem. I don't know where the second one came from--I certainly didn't create it. I tried deleting these files one at at time, but then I just get a different error message saying that VS can't open whichever of the two I deleted. Does anyone have an idea what I can do about this?

Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk.AttributeLogicalNameAttribute is not defined?

I'm attempting to create a new project similar to the SDK project basicoperations for Dynamics CRM 2011. I am using the myorganizationcrmsdktypes.vb file included with the SDK helper code, but when I attempt to build the code I get tons of errors in myorganizationcrmsdktypes.vb and I'm not sure why. The errors look like this:
Type 'Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk.AttributeLogicalNameAttribute' is not defined.
The code works fine when run in the original project, just not in mine?
Add a reference to: Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk (/sdk/bin/microsoft.xrm.sdk.dll)
Also add another reference to: System.Runtime.Serialization
Additionally in your project settings - try clearing the Root namespace
Have you tried your code on a different machine? This is less of a CRM issue and more of a .net issue. If your vb project has a reference to the Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk dll but yet your code can't find the classes within it, I'm almost wondering if something is corrupt.
I'd try recreating the solution / project. I'd also try doing a ctrl-. (control period) to see if VS can resolve it for you...
