Compiler error while building an addin.

GagagDa_Morvi — Sun, 13 Mar 2016 00:00:38 GMT

I just installed ArcGIS 10.4 and the .NET SDK for the same. In Visual Studio 2015, I created an addin using the Wizard. All goes well till that point. When I build this project, I get following error. I am totally confused by this. Can someone suggest a fix or how to workaround this? I have searched on the internet but haven't managed to find anything useful. Any help is much appreciated.
