Apologies for contributing to an old "answered" thread. however for me, using Win 10, VS 2013. I had to remove the 'ComponentModelCache' folder from each version of VS that I had installed before this issue was resolved.

You can see here more solutions which require deleting the cache in %APPDATA%.

In my case, the problem was that I was initializing and using class with the MEF framework but didn't declare the class as a MEF class.

How to import a MEF class:

[Import(typeof(ICalculator))]  
public ICalculator calculator;

How to define and export a MEF class:

public interface ICalculator  
{  
     String Calculate(String input);  
}  

[Export(typeof(ICalculator))]  
class MySimpleCalculator : ICalculator  
{
}

The code example is taken from here

Finally, I did find answer myself, instead of deleting/renaming 'ComponentModelCache' folder in path C:\Users\'username'\AppData\local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\12.0

I renamed folder 'Microsoft' in path C:\Users\'username'\AppData\local\

This works for me.
