Visual Studio 2022 - Fix Errors with Renaming Form1

[@TimRiener]

Thank you for this explanation. While I was absolutely stymied until I watched this video, I did still have frustrating problems because my Visual Studio installation (Version 17.8.5) did not behave precisely the same way the video illustrated. That said, the video was superb in identifying the key elements that needed to be addressed so despite some additional fumbling and bumbling, I got it resolved. Check your version of VS; it seems things have "changed" a bit since the video was made. (One more suggestion to the author...slow down with the mouse cursor movements while explaining things; I had to repeatedly back up the video to see what you were clicking. Not a biggie -- just a polite request/suggestion.) Thanks for the video.

Yeah, well explained! You can also just double click on the error code itself and it will get you straight to the place where you need to be to fix the name of the 'Form1' to whatever it needs to be. Thanks for your breakdown though! :-)

Thank you! I hope they fix this issue

[@genesiman3034]

This might be late, but the best fix to this issue is editing the Application.myapp. the fix show here editing the Application.Designer will only solve it temporarily once you do a clean rebuild it will show up again.

My problem is I encounter this error to each and every form that I would like to run. If its not the one to be ran, and you want to change to that new form I encounter this error again. Is there something for that kind of problem?

[@alexd5340]

FINALLY, thank you!, i had to just go with Form1 for a while

[@ilcybertech]

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I can finally keep my code clean and organized!

[@eggmeister6641]

I have a problem where the .design.cs file isn't being updated with the proper components when I change the form name.

Ok, i have similar problem with auto renamings, then i double click in form any object, openning code and woalia, for this obj vs create new clear code, old code stay but not work and new obj name now TextBox_1. I not explain correct in en, i try in vb 2019, 2022 and random pc, this problem stay and dont fix. Old vb 2010 working correctly, but its old.

[@pacman777]

And c# same way creating new obj with renamed obj name.. Why?

I have expirienced the same issue with Visual Studio 2019, so it seems to be an old/unfixed problem. I fixed the Form1 Error as you did by changing it in the Application.Events.vb file, but every time I change (and save) the project Properties Visual Studio will changethe line 35 in Application.Events.vb back to .Form1. So that is a bit annoying. It seems like the Form1 name is still saved somewhere in the project files, but I did not find the source jet.

[@Aentismik]

Wow this worked for me up until today. There must have been another update to screw things up again :(

It is really disheartening how bad visual studio has become over the last several versions. Rename breaks, toolbox doesn't populate, startup takes minutes, editing code crashes parts of the thing. The whole 'continue working...' thing is a joke, and not a funny one.
