please consider this,High level error, this type of error happens when "something" is missing. For instance, you created a custom control or using a third party control where one or the other is not available, this will cause this error.
Open Solution Explorer, find the form, click on the chevron/arrow, open the node I'm pointing to, look at the controls for the form (in the highlighted area). If this is a missing or incompatible control it will be marked. If this is the case and unsure how to continue come back and let us know. There may be other reasons for this but start here. Others may respond with different thoughts..
