CS0102 The type 'SystemController.ViewsClass' already contains a definition for 'GeneralFormConfiguration'

Question

After a retargeting from .NET 4.5 to 4.0 and back to 4.0 I got this error (3 times in the same file for different classes)
Probably a duplicate but I am not sure how to solve it.
Do I have to rename the class? And if yes, how?

Code:` public readonly string GeneralFormConfiguration = "~/Views/System/GeneralFormConfiguration.cshtml";

            static readonly _GeneralFormConfigurationClass s_GeneralFormConfiguration = new _GeneralFormConfigurationClass();
            public _GeneralFormConfigurationClass GeneralFormConfiguration { get { return s_GeneralFormConfiguration; } }`

Hi @Dimitris Gkikas ,
Your problem's meaning is a class contains multiple declarations of identifiers with the same name in the same scope.
To fix the error, please rename the duplicate identifier.You could refer to the following simple example:

 public class MyClass  
    {  
            static readonly _GeneralFormConfigurationClass s_GeneralFormConfiguration = new _GeneralFormConfigurationClass();  
            public _GeneralFormConfigurationClass GeneralFormConfiguration{ get { return s_GeneralFormConfiguration; } }  
            public void GetString()  
            {  
                string GeneralFormConfiguration = "~/Views/System/GeneralFormConfiguration.cshtml";  
            }  
    }  

Best regards,
Yijing Sun
