========== Elapsed 00:00.641 ==========

When i open the .dmp of the file i get the following:

The program does run without a problem in visual studio's internal debug mode.

I don't now if these problems are different or symptoms of the same problem.

In my setup the main project is "PCBTrackerUI" (WPF .Net Framework 4.8.1) and the sup-project is "pcbTrackerDataAccesNetF" (Class Library .Net Framework 4.8.1) in witch i use dapper to communicate to a SQL-database

If some one could tel me how this could be solved, I would be really grateful.

@Viorel

Deleting en re-adding the NuGet Packages solved the problems I was having.
(it did give a "HRESULT E_FAIL" error witch was solved by deleting the .vs folder)

Also when i created a back up to test with i got the same build problem in de debug as i got with release. Witch i found strange because rebuilding debug in the first test did not give a error.

Thanks for the answer, now i can continue the project.
