I think you need to modify your tags from MVC C# add your HP Fortify in your question tags.. becausue this tool only some people are aware.. As I am not aware of this tool.

This has nothing to do with MVC, C#5 or HTML5/CSS3. The error message is very clear and specific.

Directly can not give answers without seeing the code. But I can say by seeing the error you are passing any wrong parameter in your web application or in the database.

Can you put the code here where the error is coming...

Hi, I have seen the same issue in VS 2010. The b parameter stands for build id. The solution / project that is being analysed needs to be checked out from source control explorer of Visual studio. When checking out, it will ask whether solution needs to be saved. Click ok and it should work.
Missing either of the steps - checking out / saving can cause this issue.

Click on HP Fortify icon on visual studio -> then click on options -> click on project settings -> click on advanced scan options and look at entry in scan command line preview.
( There will be blank argument after b. "b""" - this is how it looks when issue happens )

"b" "project or solution" - this is how it should look, where project or solution stands for name of project or solution that is being analysed.
