Unloading Project

[Abdu moh]

I have project created by visual studio 2022 using C# , but is not loading due to this error :"value cannot be null. parameter name format" and "he project file could not be loaded.  The root element is missing"
I have attached screenshot of both errors .

Do you want to try changing it to:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Project ToolsVersion="4.0" DefaultTargets="Build" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003">
...
</Project>

Also save it with UTF-8 encoding to avoid format be messed up and backup and then delete the .suo and .csproj.user files before continuing
