Queue is not an attribute class

Recently, while I was trying to create an Azure function using the Visual Studio 2019, I got the error Queue is not an attribute class or ‘Queue’ is not an attribute class.

Queue attribute error

Below is the C# code that i was trying to execute in the Azure Function. Below is the part of the code of the function.

public static class Function1
    {
        [FunctionName("Function1")]
        public static async Task<IActionResult> Run(
            [HttpTrigger(AuthorizationLevel.Function, "get", "post", Route = null)] HttpRequest req,
            ILogger log, [Queue("myDetails", Connection = "AzureWebJobsStorage")] IAsyncCollector<UserDetails> outputQueue)
        {
            string jsoncnt = await req.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
            var myDetails = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<UserDetails>(jsoncnt);
            log.LogInformation($"User {myDetails.UserId} received from {myDetails.UserEmail} for his {myDetails.UserId}");
            await outputQueue.AddAsync(myDetails);
           log.LogInformation("C# HTTP trigger function processed a request.");

            string name = req.Query["name"];

            string requestBody = await new StreamReader(req.Body).ReadToEndAsync();
            dynamic data = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(requestBody);
            name = name ?? data?.name;

            return name != null
                ? (ActionResult)new OkObjectResult($"Hello, {name}")
                : new BadRequestObjectResult("Please pass a name on the query string or in the request body");
        }
    }
}

While trying to run the project, i got the error Queue is not an attribute class at the below line

[HttpTrigger(AuthorizationLevel.Function, "get", "post", Route = null)] HttpRequest req,
            ILogger log, [Queue("myDetails", Connection = "AzureWebJobsStorage")] IAsyncCollector<UserDetails> outputQueue)
