VB 2005 Express false compiler error

I have a VB 2005 WinForms Project which is giving what I think is a false error.

On the Designer screen for the main form (which normally displays the form layout etc.) I get:

One or more errors encountered while loading the designer. The errors are listed below. Some errors can be fixed by rebuilding your project, while others may require code changes.

'.ctor' is not a valid identifier.
Hide

at Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Design.Serialization.CodeDom.CodeDomEventBindingService.ValidateMethodName(String methodName)
at System.ComponentModel.Design.EventBindingService.EventPropertyDescriptor.SetValue(Object component, Object value)
at System.ComponentModel.Design.Serialization.CodeDomSerializerBase.DeserializeAttachEventStatement(IDesignerSerializationManager manager, CodeAttachEventStatement statement)
at System.ComponentModel.Design.Serialization.CodeDomSerializerBase.DeserializeStatement(IDesignerSerializationManager manager, CodeStatement statement)

The report in the Error List leaves the File and Project blank, and gives a Line and Column number of zero. Double clicking on the error report goes nowhere.

I have searched for ".ctor" and it does not appear anywhere in the project. Rebuilding succeeds, but does not remove the error. It is still there after closing down & reloading.

I don't know how to get back to a position where the project file is usable at all. Can you help me find/remove/work around this please

Regards, Tony.

    Tony: What is the workaround We ae having the same problem and Microsoft is perplexed.

  • tdcntt

    Can you check to see if there is a method or field in your class that has the same name as the class If so, could you try renaming it to something different

    Hope this helps,

    Ken,

    I have tried your suggestion, closing the form with the error, then all forms, while rebuilding but it does not help.

    I have in the meantime gone back to a backup from some days ago, re-implemented the changes I had done since then, and the error has gone away. I am still holding my breath.

    Rgds, Tony.

  • Hector de la Rosa M.

    Can you post the code inside the "IntializeComponent" method

  • anita punjabi

    My workaround was to go back six days to a backup that worked, and re-implement the changes made since then. As far as I can tell (by doing a comparison of the VB source files) I have put all the same changes in, and it now works. Presumably there is something I have missed, or something not captured in the VB files, or the sequence of the source code makes a difference, but I have not spent any more time looking.

    Sorry this is unlikely to be helpful.

    Regards, Tony

  • Philip Coupar

    (In answer to an automatic prompt:)
    I have found a workaround, so the problem is no longer outstanding, but the solution did not come from this forum.
    Tony.

  • ReneeC

    I see you have a table adapter on the form. Try this open the project and close the form with the error. Open the datasources window and rebuild the project. Then reopen the form.

  • Will Merydith

    Just make sure that you don't have any members called "[New]" in your class. That's most likely the cause of the problem



  • Neal Sidhwaney

    Did anyone here actually get the problem solved I am having the same problem as well.

  • GT_MSDN

    I have a form (not that giving the error) with two constructors as follows:

    Public Sub New(ByVal id As Integer, ByVal adult As Boolean)

    ' Constructor to Edit an existing Person with Id given

    MyBase.New()

    'This call is required by the Windows Form Designer.

    InitializeComponent()

    PAddPerson = False

    PId = id

    PAdult = adult

    PName = ""

    End Sub

    Public Sub New(ByVal addName As String, ByVal adult As Boolean)

    ' Constructor to Edit an existing Person with Id given

    MyBase.New()

    'This call is required by the Windows Form Designer.

    InitializeComponent()

    PAddPerson = True

    PId = -1

    PAdult = adult

    PName = addName

    End Sub

    They used to work OK -- I did not change this area to cause the error to appear (as far as I can remember what I changed).

    Rgds, Tony.
