Project Files Contain Syntax Errors

Hi,

So i have just downloaded the project files and extracted them to a folder in Documents. Upon loading the project, I get the following:

Surely the files shouldn't contain syntax errors to start with?

Any ideas?

Thanks

Judging by the errors, it looks like the project lost its reference to Entityframework somehow. Go to the NuGet package manager (tools -> NuGet Package Manager -> Manage NuGet Packages for solution) then click the 'Browse' tab. Entityframework should show up as one of the top in the list but if not just type it into the search bar. Then click on EF in the list, to the right make sure your project is checked, and then click the install button. After it runs through its prompts try building again.

Hope this helps! Happy coding!

Thanks, I went into Nuget and it said EntityFramework was already installed. So I tried uninstalling it, then installing it and that seems to have done the trick.
