Answer 1

Close and reopen Visual Studio.

I tried some of the answers here (I'm using VS2012 with Resharper), and I was doing everything ok, but still had the error. I was even able to navigate to my bound fields using Resharper's 'cntl'+click, but was still getting XAML compile errors and designer wouldn't show the design view. Closing visual studio and reopening fixed it for me.
