I have been using Visual Studio 2010 on my old computer, and I have used PowerPack shapes in my designer. In VS2013, I have installed the PowerPacks but it keeps complaining that it cannot find anything related.
Type 'Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks.ShapeContainer' is not defined.
This is happening for OvalShape and a few others, not just this. Any help appreciated :)

NET first appeared, it was missing many features that developers had found extremely useful in Visual Basic 6. Power Packs were invented to provide objects and tools to fill the need for these missing features and to make programming easier and more productive in general.
It looks like your program is not able to find the reference to your VisualBasic PowerPack extension. Try right clicking on References select add reference then goto Assemblys --> Extensions scroll down and find the Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks.VS Reference remove the checkmark there and select the Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks reference and click ok, that should fix it for you. You probably will also need to remove the reference that has the yellow exclamation mark.
It looks like the extension's name has changed from Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks.VS to Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks. Since I have both VS2010 and VS2013 on my laptop I show both of them.
