I have looked at this question which is similar but for web.
My folders have Namespace Provider false.

I also found this question but have not seen anything that would explain why the problem only occurs when I switch to net472

[Update]

I created a blank form and experimented with dragging and dropping controls on to it. I repeated the problem with a particular control that had a System.Windows.Forms.BindingNavigator control

Indeed even clicking on this control in the toolbox generates a similar error

Interestingly I was able to create a new user control from scratch which would support the bindingNavigator control

I noticed that the new control included the folder name in it's namespace, even though the folder's Namespace Provider property was set to false.

OK , now I have a good control and a bad control. I cant see any difference visually. Time to run a diff.

Answer 1

The namespace of the control was the issue.

I was able to get it working by having the control use the namespace given by it's folder location
