re: Settings1.Designer.cs Bug: Multiple settings files

Found a solution.

I had the same problem with a resource file, every time i had a modification to this file, vs created a "resourcename"1.Designer.cs

I tried the solution below, but nothing changed.

the fix is to go in you project csproj or vbproj :

looki for the weird designer, Settings1.Designer.vb in your case and replace it by Settings.Designer.vb

in my case it was :

<Generator>ResXFileCodeGenerator</Generator>

<LastGenOutput>ResTexts1.Designer.cs</LastGenOutput>

</EmbeddedResource>

I changed it for

<Generator>ResXFileCodeGenerator</Generator>

<LastGenOutput>ResTexts.Designer.cs</LastGenOutput>

</EmbeddedResource>

Now everything is fine

Hope this will help you

Hi,

i am using Visual Studio 2008 Pro since few months and have SP1 too (on XP SP2 laptop).

Today all of a sudden, when adding/editing the Settings

it's throwing the following errors:

'Settings is ambiguous between declaration in Modules '<project>.My.MySettingsProperty' and '<project>.My.MySettingsProperty' (same)

I noticed that the studio created a duplicate of Settings.Designer.vb file as Settings1.Designer.vb

I then deleted the duplicate file from the 'My Project' folder and deleted the same in the Solution Explorer under Settings.settings

But once i do the above, the new setting added will not show up in the IntelliSense on typing My.Settings.

And when i try to edit/add setting, it creates the duplicate Settings1 again and throws 'Settings is ambiguous between ....' errors

I also noticed that the timestamp of 'Settings.Designer.vb' doesn't change while Settings1.Designer.vb is always updated whenever settings are edited.

Both files have write permissions.

This is very annoying and frustrating.

Does anyone know a working permanent fix to this problem?

Thanks,
