There is a known issue where you can get into this state if the settings.settings file ever gets deleted, or is missing, and dynamic urls are used. The fix is to open the Settings.settings file (just double-click it). You should see entries similar to the
following for you dynamic urls.
Notice the type field - it needs to be set to "(WebService URL)" - one of the choices in the type dropdown. Most likely it is set to be of type String and this what causes the error.
Can you try this? We are looking at getting this fixed for SP1 of Visual Studio (it is an issue in the core VS code base so WAP cannot fix it directly.)
