c# - Two output file names resolved to the same output

Question

Recently I created new Form called WorkersScreen. When I try to run the project I got this error:

Error 1 Two output file names resolved to the same output path: "objx86DebugDryWash.WorkersScreen.resources"

What does it mean and how does one resolve it?

Answer 1

This can happen in the event of two .resx files pointing to the same form. Mostly happens when renaming forms (other reasons may apply, I'm not exactly sure)

If your particular form files looks like this:

Form1.cs
Form1.designer.cs
MyFormerFormName.resx
Form1.resx

then that usually implies that you renamed the form but Visual Studio didn't remove the old .resx file. Once you delete the file (in this example MyFormerFormName.resx) manually, the error should be gone upon next build.
