Receiving CS0234: The type or namespace name 'VisualStudio' does not exist in the namespace 'Microsoft' using MSBuild.exe

[soumyabrata201]

I am trying to build a dotnet solution using the below command but getting error: CS0234 and CS0246

Command:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\14.0\Bin\MSBuild.exe" Test.1.8.131.sln

error CS0234: The type or namespace name 'VisualStudio' does not exist in the namespace 'Microsoft' (are you missing an assembly reference?)

error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'TestClass' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'TestInitialize' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'TestMethod' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

Can anyone please tell if I am missing something.

All these are failing while trying to build the test Projects.

We need more information in order to be able to help you out here.

What do your projects look like? Can you share them with us? Can you produce a small repro repo on github that we can clone and reproduce the issue?

Are these SDK style projects? If so, did you run a restore on them, by running msbuild.exe /restore on the solution?
