When I open up a pre-existing c# project in Visual Studio 2015 my code doesn't show, I can run the program from Visual Studio but cannot see or edit the code. I've tried repairing and re-installing and nothing seems to work

This error is caused by a corrupted Visual Studio cache.
Close all Visual Studio tasks that are running, and delete all files in the folders ComponentModelCache and MEFCacheBackup
these folders are located in:
\Users\YOUR_USER_PATH\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\YOUR_VISUAL_STUDIO_VERSION
-------------------- This was from the duplicate and it fixed my issue The MEFCacheBackup had files and when removed my VS worked great.

I also met the same issue in Visual Studio 2017 and 2019 when I installed the specific font Cascadia Code Microsoft provided.
After I reverted the code font to common used font (such as Consolas), the code can show successfully.
The related settings is below:
If you used an specific font for code, you can also try this method. May it be helpful for you.
Just enjoy.
