I have updated log4net version from 2.0.5 to 2.0.12 in a project. Package.config and .csproj file content changed accordingly. But, msbuild is giving
##[warning]C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\14.0\bin\Microsoft.Common.CurrentVersion.targets(1820,5): Warning MSB3245: Could not resolve this reference. Could not locate the assembly "log4net". Check to make sure the assembly exists on disk. If this reference is required by your code, you may get compilation errors.
It is causing log4net error. Considered "..\packages\log4net.2.0.12\lib\net45\log4net.dll", but it didn't exist.
How to resolve this error? My csproj file contains hintpath of parent package folder
..\packages\log4net.2.0.12\lib\net45\log4net.dll

For some reason GitHub Actions is not pulling in one Nuget package ConfigCat.Client but works fine for the remaining 20 packages. This is one solution with many projects. It works fine in VS Build as well as local msbuild command. I have another simple solution in GitHub Actions that works fine as well. I'm using a win-2019 server runner with .NET SDK 5.0. I get:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Enterprise\MSBuild\Current\Bin\Microsoft.Common.CurrentVersion.targets(2203,5): warning MSB3245: Could not resolve this reference. Could not locate the assembly "ConfigCat.Client, Version=6.5.2.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=d28b16a067d7bbe2, processorArchitecture=MSIL". Check to make sure the assembly exists on disk. If this reference is required by your code, you may get compilation errors.
I'm running this (restore & build):
msbuild $env:Solution_Path /t:Restore /p:Configuration=$env:Configuration /p:RuntimeIdentifier=$env:RuntimeIdentifier
msbuild $env:Solution_Path /p:Platform="Any CPU" /p:Configuration=Release /p:UapAppxPackageBuildMode=SideloadOnly /p:AppxBundle=Always /p:PackageCertificateKeyFile=$certificatePath /p:PackageCertificatePassword=${{ secrets.Pfx_Key }}
Errors from log file (could it be related to processorArchitecture=MSIL?)

I've also tried changing the Platform to x64 with the same results.
Any insight or pointers is greatly appreciated.
Thanks to Péter Csajtai for solving the problem. The project was using packages.config and not restoring the nuget package as a result. Adding the parameter /p:RestorePackagesConfig=true to the restore resolved the issue. See also this question.
There is an error System.IO.FileNotFoundException: 'Could not load file or assembly 'System.Management, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a'. The system cannot find the file specified.'.I figured when the System.Management.dll is in the output directory, the error will be gone.
It is reference using NuGet but I couldn't get libraries in NuGet to be copied to the output folder. So I thought of adding the physical System.Management.dll file into my project and and reference it as assemblies (right-click project -> Add Reference -> browse to library) thenset 'Copy Local' to True. However, the dll still won't get copied over to the output folder.
The application is on .Net 6. Is there a reason behind why I can't copy this library like other?
A .NET6 project would normally use System.Management version 6.0.0.
The error suggests that there is another package in your project that explicitly depends on 4.0.0.
Without knowing the specifics of you projects, I suggest:
inspecting the build output for warnings about package version,
upgrading 3rd party packages in your solution.
Figured out I could copy nuget package references to output directory by setting this attribute in the project file
<CopyLocalLockFileAssemblies>true</CopyLocalLockFileAssemblies>
Then the nuget referenced packages will be copied to the output directory.
I'm working on migrating from packages.config to PackageReference format for multiple csproj files. Restore and build succeeds but with hundreds of warnings. These warnings were not showing before my PackageReference changes to csproj files. Please let me know if you could guide on resolving these.

I've got MVC.Net application in my TFS2015. My Applications builds & runs fine in Local. I'm configuring CI/Cd pipeline for this application. Please find the error specified below
Error CS0234: The type or namespace name 'WebApi' does not exist in the namespace 'Microsoft.AspNet' (are you missing an assembly reference?)
Error CS0234: The type or namespace name 'Extensions' does not exist in the namespace 'System.Net.Http' (are you missing an assembly reference?)
I've tried both MSBUILD & Visual Studio Build tasks in my pipeline, still same error occurs
The type or namespace name 'WebApi' does not exist in the namespace 'Microsoft.AspNet' (are you missing an assembly reference?)
According to the error message, it seems you are missing the references when you build with Azure DevOps. You should add nuget installer tasks to restore the package:
NuGet Tool Installer task
When we build the project/solution on local machine, the packages is downloaded stored in the \packages folder, this folder is ignored by the source control (This is recommended.) when we submit our source code, so when we build the project/solution on the Azure DevOps, we need add nuget restore task to restore nuget package before we build it.
If you have already use nuget restore in your pipeline and still get that error, please share the warning info in your build log.
Hope this helps.
I've copied the missing dll's from
C:\Program Files (x86)\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework.NETFramework\v4.5.2\Facades
To
C:\Program Files (x86)\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework.NETFramework\v4.5.2
Thanks #Leo Liu -MSFT for suggesting this article. It worked for me
i'm compiling a .net 3.5 solution with msbuild with this line of code:
msbuild.exe n:\temp\Thisnight.sln /p:Configuration=Debug /v:diag
and it gives me this error:
error CS0234: The type or namespace name 'UnitTesting' does not exist in the namespace 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools' (are you missing an assembly reference?)
i've gotten the latest source which (off course) builds in VS2010 itself.
Can't seem to figure out what i'm missing here....
EDIT
Seeing higher up in the command window this message:
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.5\Microsoft.Common.targets : warning MSB3245: Could not resolve this reference.
Could not locate the assembly "Microsoft.VisualStudio.QualityTools.UnitTestFramework, Version=10.0.0.0, Culture=neutra
l, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a, processorArchitecture=MSIL". Check to make sure the assembly exists on disk. If this reference is required by your code, you may get compilation errors.
I don't think i have to include this DLL by my project (because it's a MS dll?)
EDIT
What i've seen now: all projects are for the .Net 3.5 framework, but the testproject (which is the one giving me problems) is for the .Net 4.0 framework.
And the weird thing is: i can't change it.
It's a vs2010 solution with web. webservice,winforms,dll,setup and testprojects
did you run vcvars32.bat in your cmd shell?
If you look at the Microsoft.Common.Targets file you will see :
<!--
The SearchPaths property is set to find assemblies in the following order:
(1) Files from current project - indicated by {CandidateAssemblyFiles}
(2) $(ReferencePath) - the reference path property, which comes from the .USER file.
(3) The hintpath from the referenced item itself, indicated by {HintPathFromItem}.
(4) The directory of MSBuild's "target" runtime from GetFrameworkPath.
The "target" runtime folder is the folder of the runtime that MSBuild is a part of.
(5) Registered assembly folders, indicated by {Registry:*,*,*}
(6) Legacy registered assembly folders, indicated by {AssemblyFolders}
(7) Resolve to the GAC.
(8) Treat the reference's Include as if it were a real file name.
(9) Look in the application's output folder (like bin\debug)
-->
VS runs MSBuild in its own environment, I don't know the differences either but did you try adding the lacking assembly path in command line by modifying the AssemblyFolders items. You have a tuto here : http://www.beefycode.com/post/Resolving-Binary-References-in-MSBuild.aspx .
Hope this helps.
try running:
msbuild /version
Make sure it's the 3.5 version and not something older.
Make sure the MS dll is here, or somewhere like that:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\PublicAssemblies\Microsoft.VisualStudio.QualityTools.UnitTestFramework.dll
