This error commonly happens in the Report Designer (Visual Studio) when opening an .rdl file from a saved Solution. In my case, it happened when I tried to double-click a report to see the report design from a Solution we had in Visual SourceSafe. The XML code for a particular project or solution would come up when I tried to open them and the error came up with trying to chose a specific report.
After perusing many articles which referred to BizTalk and other MS components, but not specifically Reporting Services, I finally found a solution.
In Visual Studio, click the Tools menu and navigate to Add/Remove Toolbox Items. When the pop-up box appears, click RESET. You will get a warning that your custom toolboxes will disappear. That's okay. You can always re-add them later if you need them. So, click OK.
This takes a few minutes to process. Once it's done, double-click the report in the Solution and it should come up fine.
NOTE: Some people have recommended removing the following registry key:
I hope this tip helps.

Many people have lost their ability to see report projects or to create new report projects after removing said registry key!!! DO NOT REMOVE THE REGISTRY KEY unless you have no other choice.
I hope this tip helps.
