Incorrect Shp File Format using DevExpress

So, I thought I had everything working. Then I received the message "Incorrect Shp file Format" presented as an error when trying to run in debug mode for Visual Studio 2010. The error occurred in the Designer.cs file.

Part of the issue is that I'm trying to take an existing shp file and split it up into multiple shp files. Note, the original shp file with all of the points does work. But, when I try to pull specific locations out, I receive the error. I'm using Quantum GIS to do this.

Ground zero. Just to test, I decided to select all of the same data points in the original file. Click on save selection as and create a new set of shp files. When I reference this group of files in the project, I receive a "Property value is not valid." and ""Disagree dbf file" error messages. So, logically, I thought I should update the dbf file to match.

Had to shift topics, but have not been able to resolve this issue.
