[ORD] .NET Framework Error Related to Templates

I recently began receiving a .NET framework error whenever I tried to place a template drop in my new corridor. I was able to narrow it down to a template specific issue because when I load in a template .itl file from a different project it works. I tried renaming my template file, using underscores and no spaces, this did not work. I tried copying in the specific templates into a new template file, this didn't work. I tried dragging the templates into a new template, this did not work. I am going to try and remake the templates, but I'm worried about sinking more time into that if it still isn't going to work. I could also try to just edit existing templates I have for other projects to match my needs for this one. I'm really at a loss here, anyone have a similar issue? I pasted the .NET framework error code below. Thanks!
