Visual Studio 2015- Debugger breaks and says: "ProjectData.vb not found"
Just recently when I set a break point and tried to step through my code, I got a message that says "ProjectData.vb not found". It also says "You need to find ProjectData.vb to view the source for the current call stack frame."
I don't know what I may have changed to cause the debugger to look for this file because I used to be able to set a break point and then step through my code without this problem. I have searched my computer for the ProjectData.vb file, but it is not on my computer, and I don't know where to get a copy of the file. I have also done a Google search, but have not found the solution.
I also do not know which debug setting that the error message is referring to when it says:"The debug source files settings for the active solution indicate that the debugger will not ask to find the file: f\dd\vb\runtime\msvbalib\H
Where do I find a copy of the ProjectData.vb file, or what setting do I need to set in the debugger to get the Debugger to stop looking for this file, if I really don't need it in order to step through my code? I need to be able to set break points in my code and then step through my code. I am hoping that someone may be able to help me.

Thank you Dave for your reply.
I tried cleaning and rebuilding my project, but that didn't fix the situation. I also tried repairing Visual Studio 2015 Community, and that didn't fix the problem either.
So, I finally decided that the only other thing to try was to uninstall Visual Studio 2015 Community and then re-install it. And that worked! I can now debug my code by setting break points and then stepping through the code by pressing F8, like I used to be able to do before the issue started. I must have had a corrupted file.
This might help others in the future that have a similar problem.

I spoke too soon! I still have the problem after uninstalling and then re-installing Visual Studio 2015 Community on my Windows 10 computer.
However, I do have it running correctly on my Windows 7 computer. I am having the issue with Visual Studio 2015 Community that is running on my Windows 10 computer. Maybe it has something to do with Windows 10. I do not know. I will have to keep on trying to solve the issue.
Anybody else have this problem on Windows 10 and found a solution? Or know what the fix is?
