Deployment errors deploying UWP to Microsoft Windows Emulators

The UWP can be deployed to the Local Machine; the Simulator and the device Lumia 950.

The Hyper-V shows that the emulators are running. But it cannot be deployed to the emulators. Here are the error messages from two different version of emulators:

Most probably you have selected wrong solution platform. For Windows Mobile emulators it should be x86, not x64.

I tried the x86 option as well since the error messages I posted indicated me in that direction. But I faced this new error.
'MainPage' does not contain a definition for 'Test' and no extension method 'Test' accepting a first argument of type 'MainPage' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

I do not have a button named 'Test' and I am not sure where it is coming from. The code shows clearly the following:
Fragment of code:
switch(connectionId)
{
case 1:
{
this.Test = (global::Windows.UI.Xaml.Controls.Button)(target);
}
break;
default:
break;
}
this._contentLoaded = true;
Somehow the code is not picking up the name of the button correctly. It should have been 'ClickMe'. I still wonder that the other deployments did not flag this error.
