Code migration from SharePoint 2013 to SharePoint 2019 failed in Visual studio 2019

Question

I have custom C# code which was written for SharePoint 2013 using Visual Studio 2015. We now moved from SharePoint 2013 to SharePoint 2019. The custom code also needs to migrate.

When I opened that solution in Visual Studio 2019 Ent for SharePoint 2019, it asked me to upgrade/migrate.

After upgrade also, I got some missing SharePoint DLL reference errors. I fixed them by referring from ISAPI folder. However all build errors are gone but when I deploy solution on a SharePoint 2019 site I get 0 error but build fails and says 1 failed.

Hi @Shahid Kuddus Shaikh ,

You could try to restart the VS/Computer, maybe it would work for you.

To troubleshoot this issue, you could refer to this post in SO: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13239325/how-to-find-reason-of-failed-build-without-any-error-or-warning
