Errors After Confusing Executable

Project Settings:

Environment: Visual Studio 2013 Framework: 4.5 Platform: x86 OS: Windows 8.1

Problem Description:

The application starts up correctly and can access the database, but when attempting to enter certain screens I either receive an error, or the underlying code isn't functioning. I've tried with a few different settings, but all of them outside of the "None" preset cause these issues (also tried changing the inherit option as well). Below are two examples of what I'm experiencing:

Example 1:

This seems to occur when late binding is used on a custom control (possibly any control?). This is a modified check box which allows 'Y' and 'N' to be used instead of true or false.

Underlying Code:

Problem Code:

            //Databindings
            chkActive.DataBindings.Add("YesNo", dsPreferences.CLEAR_USERS, "ACTIVE_USER");
            chkWritAdmin.DataBindings.Add("YesNo", dsPreferences.CLEAR_USERS, "WRIT_ADMIN");
            chkWritView.DataBindings.Add("YesNo", dsPreferences.CLEAR_USERS, "WRIT_VIEW");

            chkServicesView.DataBindings.Add("YesNo", dsPreferences.CLEAR_USERS, "SERVICE_VIEW");

Control Code:

   class CustomCheckbox : CheckBox
    {
        public string YesNo
        {
            get 
            {
                return Checked ? "Y" : "N";
            }
            set 
            {
                var changed = false;
                if (value == "Y")
                {
                    if (!Checked)
                        changed = true;

                    Checked = true;

                    if (changed)
                        OnPropertyChanged("YesNo");
                }
                else
                {
                    if (Checked)
                        changed = true;

                    Checked = false;

                    if (changed)
                        OnPropertyChanged("YesNo");
                }
            }
        }

        public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;
        private void OnPropertyChanged(string name)
        {
            if (PropertyChanged != null)
                PropertyChanged(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(name));
        }
        protected override void OnCheckedChanged(EventArgs e)
        {
            OnPropertyChanged("YesNo");
            base.OnCheckedChanged(e);
        }
    }

Example 2:

I cannot show a picture of this, but I can provide the code that is not working:

Underlying Code:

Problem Code:

        private void tvWritBreakdown_AfterSelect(object sender, TreeViewEventArgs e)
        {
            SelectTabPage(tabBreakdown, tvWritBreakdown.SelectedNode.Text);
        }

        public void SelectTabPage(CustomControls.CustomTabControl tc, string text)
        {
            //Look for tabpage based on tab matching text
            var tab = tc.TabPages.Cast<TabPage>()
                      .FirstOrDefault(t => t.Tag == text);

            //If not null, select tabpage
            if (tab != null)
                tc.SelectedTab = tab;
        }

Control Code:

    public partial class CustomTabControl : TabControl
    {
        public CustomTabControl()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

        private const int TCM_ADJUSTRECT = 0x1328;

        protected override void WndProc(ref Message m)
        {
            // Hide the tab headers at run-time
            if (m.Msg == TCM_ADJUSTRECT && !DesignMode)
            {
                m.Result = (IntPtr)1;
                return;
            }

            // call the base class implementation
            base.WndProc(ref m);
        }
    }

This code will select the appropriate tab page in a tab control based on a matching Tag value to the selected tree view node text. Basically, it's a tree view which controls the tab control (custom tab control which hides its headers). The code does not move the tab pages after the application is confused (I'd assume that tab is always null). No error occurs. Possibly a problem handling LINQ syntax?
