It seems all that is on the net about this error is Steve Endow's post. I have re-installed VS Tools for GP and restarted and I am still faced with the same error.

I have recently found out more information about this error. Even so it still seems slightly mysterious.
There are posts about this issue that will state a serious of solution cleans and rebuilds will resolve the problem. Not so for me.
From J Collins' answer to this post at stackoverflow, I found that libraries are copied to dynamically created folders when a project is loaded. I'm using VS 2012 so my location was :
C:\Users\[user_name]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\11.0\ProjectAssemblies
In my broken project only the Dexterity.Shell library was copied to this location. I had found another post where a person stated that creating a traditional reference to their problem library resolved the issue - and mysteriously if he then removed that reference the project continued to work. I have not tested removal of my reference, but creating the traditional reference to the Winforms.Controls library did resolve my problem. Also, the library is being copied to the Project Assemblies folder when the project loads.
Interestingly, my first project that broke is now opening the designer successfully as well even though I have not created a traditional reference to the library. Hence the exact problem is still a bit blurry.
I would like to add both old and new information.
When this first occurred, I had the VS project open and my PC experience a BSOD. The problem presented itself after rebooting and opening the project. I thought then that something in the project was corrupted.
I reacted by creating a new project, replicating the window controls and copying over code. This new project worked fine ... until this morning. I opened the new project this morning and I am faced with the same error on the Designer. No event occurred in the last several days to my PC that I can point to that would have corrupted this new project.
The library in question is not in the References folder, so I assume it is part of the files that make up the winform. Is there a way to view this reference and uncover what might be wrong and/or hack a fix? I'm on a very tight deadline and cannot afford to keep messing this is issue.
Your help is greatly appreciated!
