Re-naming form causes error?

[Uncle Gizmo]

I am Working my way through Sams Teach yourself Visual studio.net 2003

 

I had the following error message crop up when I changed the forms name as instructed in the book. I can�t understand why I�m getting the error message, would anyone be able to throw some light on it?

 

This is the gist of it.

On page 68 Table 3.2 lists some properties you can change, I change the control �form1� name property to a new value of frmMain as instructed but on pressing F5 I got the following error: a message box titled �Microsoft Development Environment� with the message �There were build errors� continue Yes or No

 

Any comment or observation received will be appreciated.

What are the build errors though? They should be listed in the tasks window.

Also search your code for anywhere that says Form1 and change those entries to frmMain.

Thanks for your responce. I found the prob, as this form is also the startup form , the error was caused because the startup routine couldn't find the form it was looking for because I had changed her name. so I changed the name in the startup form in the startup object box on the properties pages dialog box . I think the book should have mentioned the possibility of such a problem occurring when changing the startup form name but it didn't .

 

Sorry to have troubled you .
