There might be some unfinished tags in your master page code or the file path might be different. Please check the tags once and the file path for loading the pasterpage.

MasterPageFile="~/UI/WebAPI/Pages/CoreMaster.master" this is the master page path..... and as per the tree view of solution explorer it is correct...

1. just use master file like- MasterPageFile="CoreMaster.master"
2. open the solution as website(File->Open->Website)

HI,
it is because of loading the lower version 2010 file to higher version 2013 Visual Studio, some of the assemblies are not supported in the 2012 and higher version visual studio.

which 'file' are you referring to? The Master file or the Page file? Is there a way to determine if this is the case and is there a process that can applied to 'upgrade' which ever files are old?
