The name "LocalizedStrings" does not exist in the namespace

Question

I'm suddenly getting this error in my WP8 project, which seems to originate from generated code. I have a previous working version and the App.xaml is identical.

<Application.Resources>
    <local:LocalizedStrings xmlns:local="clr-namespace:Bins" x:Key="LocalizedStrings"/>
</Application.Resources>

and the LocalisedStrings.vb file is intact.

Any ideas?

I had the same problem when compiling the standard Windows Phone Databound App template. Following steps worked for me:

• close all Visual Studio instances
• if your Region settings in the control panel mismatch the Windows Phone SDK's language (e.g. German), set the Format in the Region settings to English (United States)
• in your windows explorer, navigate to %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Phone Tools\CoreCon\ and delete the contents of the folders 10.0 and 11.0
• reopen Visual Studio and rebuild your project
