[Tex/LaTex] Error: Cannot find control file ‘references.bcf’! – did you pass the “backend=biber” option to BibLaTeX

Question

When I compile my Latex file, I get this error:
ERROR - Cannot find control file 'references.bcf'! - did you pass the "backend=biber" option to BibLaTeX?

Do you have any idea what is the source of this problem ?

P.S.: I have Texstudio as an editor, and in Options\Configure Texstudio\Commands I set biber.exe % and bibtex8.exe % in BibTex and BibTex 8bits boxes, respectively.

Answer 1

This example works well with biblatex and biber. Without loading the package, biber cannot work.

\documentclass{IEEEtran} 
\usepackage{biblatex} 
\addbibresource{biblatex-examples.bib}
