c# - Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.CodeAnalysis, version= 1.3.1.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' or one of its dependenc

Question

An update occurred last night and now I find myself unable to do a ctrl + '.' for code suggestions in VS 2015. An error message comes up saying the following:

Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.CodeAnalysis, version= 1.3.1.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

I can still build and develop but this will be really annoying without this feature. I admit it, I am getting soft!

Anyone have a suggestion for fixing this bug?

As pointed out by @CaptainAmerica the solution is to update the CodeDom assembly from NuGet. One should point out how to do this in Visual Studio. I found the solution here:

https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.CodeDom.Providers.DotNetCompilerPlatform/

Basically, in the Visual Studio menu select:

Tools-> Nuget Package Manager -> Package Manager Console

In the console that appears at the bottom of Visual Studio run this command:

Install-Package Microsoft.CodeDom.Providers.DotNetCompilerPlatform
