.net - Designer fails - My.Resources.Resources' has no property named

Question

I have a problem that the designer won't display forms. It fails with the error Designer giving a warning as follows:

How can I fix this problem ?

Answer 1

This can happen if your project references itself.

Visual Studio randomly does this automatically when some controls/forms defined in the project use other (user-)controls defined in this same project.

You can safely remove the self-reference in the project's "References" node.

Then rebuild and the designer should reload without these errors.
