Failed to parse method 'InitializeComponent'. The parser reported the following error 'Invalid symbol kind: Namespace'. Please look in the Task List for potential errors.

Question

This error pops up when I add a new item from another project to my main project.

When I run the project (have of the form that I took from) it's still okay

But when I add the form to the main project, the design page cannot be open.

I just took the vb. file and added reference 'System.Windows.Forms.DataVisualization' to solve redlined issues but still, the error did not solve

Hi @Nurul Amirah Hayati Azahari ,

Please open this form's .designer.vb file to see if there are any error in it.

Especially in Sub InitializeComponen().

Best Regards.
