Browsing around some of the other questions, I found some of the reasons this can happen

Q1 WPF Designer “Could not create an instance of type”

Suround the code in your constructor with this:

if(!System.ComponentModel.DesignerProperties.GetIsInDesignMode(this))
{
   //code producing exception         
}

The base class is of the abstract type
An exception is thrown in your constructor while loading the custom control. This goes back to 1.

Please share the stacktrace for us to help more.
