Rename a form in Visual Studio 2022

Question

Hello, trying to rename a form. The guidance here appears to still be good but even though I renamed the form in solution explorer, told VS2022 to rename it everywhere, and set the startup object in project properties, I still get the error, "BC30456 - Form1 is not a member of WinFormsApp3." How do I fix this?

Answer 1

Hi @Steev43230 , welcome to MicrosoftQ&A.

Please open Application.Designer.vb file in solution explorer. If you cannot find it, cleck Show All File button.

Replace the Form1. in the following code with the modified name.

Best Regards.

Try this, in your Solution Explorer right click on the Form1.vb file.

In the drop down select Rename and change the name to what you want it to be. A message box will appear and ask of you want to change all references in your project, select yes.

Hope this answers your question.

Good Luck
