No EditorOptionDefinition Export Found Error
c#, visual-studio-2013
Solution
After a reboot and some more research I found this post from a blog. The error described is not the same error I am seeing, however, it was close enough to warrant a try.
Follow the steps:
- Close Visual Studio
- Open the folder: `%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\12.0\` (in `C:\users\'%userName%'\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\12.0\`)
- Rename the ComponentModelCache folder
- Restart Visual Studio.
Visual studio will recreate the folder and all will be well with the world (or at least VS). I love a simple solution, and I hope its of use to anybody else who runs into this issue!
Problem
In Visual Studio 2013 I started getting the following error when trying to open C# files: ``` No EditorOptionDefinition export found for the given option name: Tabs/ConvertTabsToSpaces Parameter name: optionID ``` I was having no issues all morning until I closed and re-opened a C# solution I was working on when this error started. I checked and this error happens when I open any C# project on this computer. I also tried opening the same project from my other computer and it works fine, so this is not a project error. I have not changed any VS settings, and I was just trying to open the package manager when this presented itself. I am at a loss and Dr. Google is not of much help thus far.
