When I was do development in the SharePoint 2013, I added visual web part. I worked with VS 2013. When I was try to build the project I got the following error.
This error occurred because of missing the visual web part designer file of type "ascx.g.cs". I did a Google search about this error. All those approaches didn't help me to solve this error. Following shows some links I followed.

Solution
My SharePoint solution runs under "SpSetup" user. I checked this user has permission on content DB of the SharePoint site I'm pointing to host Visual Web Part. Then I see that doesn't had the permission to the content DB. I gave the permission to that user as "db_owner" in content DB.
After that I removed the visual web part from the solution and add new one with same name and with the same content. Bang... "ascx.g.cs" file showed up with visual web part. Later I build the solution and it ended in successfully.
