Project new "ItemGroup" reeking havoc

I believe the following started after I installed ASP.NET 2.0 AJAX
Extensions 1.0, but I cannot be certain that that is the cause.
Scenario:
Using VS.NET 2005 SP1
When I attempt to build any project it wants to check the
project file out of VSS. If I say OK and allow checkout, things build
fine and I have no problems. I take a look at differences and I notice
that the project file now has the lines
<ItemGroup>
<Service Include="{B4F97281-0DBD-4835-9ED8-7DFB966E87FF}" />
</ItemGroup>

Up until recently this has caused no problems/side effects and I
thought nothing of it. However, now I am having problems related to
the Designer.

I have a new project which uses a "wizard template" control written by
another developer. I create forms and add template pages etc. When I
try to build it askes to check out the project. If I say OK, it builds
fine, but when I go back to the designer it shows all kinds of
errors. If I say "Discard Memory changes" when it tries to check
things out, I get no problems. Other developers are not getting the
problem.

The only difference is this "<Service>" tag in the project file. I
guess my questions are "What the heck is it?" "Is it necessary?" "Can
I get rid of it?". I found the guid in my Registry under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\8.0\Services. The
name of the entry is "STextTemplating"

I've been looking everywhere, I hope someone can help.

Thanks,
Bill

The problem is related not with Ajax, but with dsl (domain-specific
language).

Shortly - you have to find in registry key
{B4F97281-0DBD-4835-9ED8-7DFB966E87FF} and delete it. Also you have to
delete related keys:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\8.0\Packages\
{a9696de6-e209-414d-bbec-a0506fb0e924}
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\8.0Exp\Packages\
{a9696de6-e209-414d-bbec-a0506fb0e924}
