I encountered this error after upgrading a web site to VS2005 and converting it to a Web Application Project.  the project built without problems, it was just the designer kept throwing up errors in the error list which was very annoying.

Thanks to 'ratureus' for his post on http://forums.asp.net/thread/1212425.aspx

• Close VS 2005
• delete all files in C:\Documents and Settings\yourusername\Application Data\Microsoft\VisualStudio\8.0\ReflectedSchemas\
• Restart VS 2005

this worked for me. 

I use exported crystal reports in PDF format on my web site, and i was getting intermittent errors from a small number of users.  I couldn't reproduce it, and i found a thoroughly excellent article on the problem at the Fluid Components International web site. 

They explain what's going wrong and have some suggestions to fix it.  I suspect in my case it was a problem with embedding the PDF in an activeX control.  i'll just redirect users to download the file instead.
