Solution 2

go to the properties of your project,
choose Target framework as .Net framework 4
and Platform Target as x86 or x64 not use any.

Nikhil2452 15-Feb-20 11:08am

Thank you for your valuable post. This problem was occur in my project due to upgradation version of Visual Studio. The project which I made it was in VS2007 and Today i am using VS2010. When solution file was opened, it ask to upgrade to version, and we click Yes. After that it does some process, but in Project properties framework Version 2.0 remains as it is. Hence we need to change it Manually.

Once again Thank you for Posting the Solution.
