I`m using VS 2013 ULTIMATE but project is created in 2010 version because I have got old Sharepoint 2010. When I create new project I have got problem with 'InitializeControl'. Do you know how can I fix problem with 'InitializeControl'?

enter image description here

Warning 1

The custom tool 'SharePointWebPartCodeGenerator' failed. The local SharePoint server is not available. Check that the server is running and connected to the SharePoint farm. You may try re-running the custom tool by right-clicking on the file in the Solution Explorer and choosing Run Custom Tool.

Error 2

The name 'InitializeControl' does not exist in the current context

I check this but does not help ->

In my case the g.cs file was missing and I have then create a new control on ascx page. I have added asp button control and add onclick event and I found that g.cs file has been created automatically and it is running now.

This is for Sand box solution as well as for On premise solution.

In my case it solved by adding the setting for hosts file like

127.0.0.1 mysite.domain.com

I had the same problem with Visual studio 2015 and SharePoint 2016:
1. Give rights to access the config db to your user
2. Right click .ascx file and select "Run Custom Tool"

The file doesn't get generated if the connection to the SharePoint environment wasn't successful.
Check the "Site URL" and "Server Connection" under project properties,
then right click on your *.ascx and click "Run Custom Tool".
