Visual Studio project references not recognized. Forced to remove then re-add the project reference

I'm having an issue with my solution finding project references after I pull the source code from TFS. After I get latest, I'll compile my solution and it will complain that it cannot find classes in other projects. These have been added as project references. When I check the references folder of the project that has the issue, the project reference is there and appears to be correct (properties look correct and I do no have the warning tooltip over the reference in the solution explorer) The only way I have been able to fix this is by removing the project reference then re-adding. As soon as I do that the errors go away even before I compile and all is well. I did some searching but was not able to find anyone with this specific issue. It seems to happen whenever someone adds in a new project into our solution then we get latest to get their changes. This will also happen on everyone's machine except the person who added the project. Once one of us goes through the steps of re-adding the references and commits those changes, it works for the rest of the team. All of use are adding project references like normal.

Here are the details of my development environment:

I too faced similiar issue today. And now I understood the problem.... under 4.5 framework related project1 is referring superior framework 4.5.2 related project2.

So I did made them both as same and my solution started working..

Not sure whether same will work for you or not. Please verify on your solution as well.
