2. Try to find the lines shown below (by finding "DevelopmentServerPort" in your project file).

   

   When found, delete the below tags from your project file:

    <DevelopmentServerPort>62140</DevelopmentServerPort>
    <DevelopmentServerVPath></DevelopmentServerVPath>
    <IISUrl>http://localhost:62116/</IISUrl>

   After deleting the above tags:

Click on Reload All button and run the project again.

Hopefully, the error is gone now. :)
