Goto Tools, Options, Debugging, Symbols and set a cache location. Then hit load in the above and it will fetch the necesary symbols for you and store them in the cache location you provide.
Microsoft's compiler tools create symbols in separate files with a .pdb extension (program database). This allows them to create detached symbols for release binaries. With a symbol server, your IDE can fetch the symbol file matching the specific version of the DLL during debugging. You can configure this system for your own product binaries as well which can be very useful for post-mortem debugging any crashes on end-user machines.
I had this issue when I was using a static variable, whose value is assigned off a static method.
So, whenever I ran the application, this line of code threw exception. If you place a debug point on this (like I did), you will notice the exception being thrown.

In my case the exception began to appear after I changed the "Assembly name" in the "Application" tab of the properties window. If that's the case with you try reverting to the original name and see if the exception disappears.
Perhaps the reason for this was that the new name did not match the AssemblyTitle in AssemblyInfo.cs.
This can happen when you initialize a variable in your class declarations and that initialization throws an exception:
class Program
{
static OracleConnection ora = getOracleConnection();
}
static void main(string[] args)
{
ora.Open();
}
static OracleConnection getOracleConnection()
{
OracleConnection orax = new OracleConnection(description=(host=myHost)
(port=1521)(protocol=tcp))(connect_data=(sid=mySid)));user id=user;password=pw;
}
If an exception is thrown by getOracleConnection() you can get this error. Move your assignment (but not necessarily your declaration) inside of main (where it belongs anyway), and you will get the actual exception that is causing the error instead of the mscorlib error.
