There are tons of questions here on Stack Overflow about how to get rid of the yellow exclamation mark ⚠️ in Visual Studio's Solution Explorer:

What I never found until now is a way to actually get the error message behind the yellow exclamation mark.

I've tried:

  • Hover with the mouse over the yellow exclamation mark icon (nothing happens).
  • Clicking the erroneous reference and inspect the Properties window (no usable info).
  • Set build verbosity to maximum and inspect the output (no useful information to me).

So I'm rather clueless.

My question:

How to see the reason/error message for a yellow exclamation mark in Visual Studio Solution Explorer in the References section?

Right click on Reference, then click in manage package nuget. It will show a button to update the references. After that build the project to apply the changes.
