    Hi, are you sure you don´t have any other issue in the error log?

    I've seen that message when there's also something else in the source code.

    Actually this error can only be resolved if you remove and add the erroneous code again. At least that is how I had to deal with it in a class of mine.

    I copied multiple methods in a class all at once and this error showed up.

    So I copied and saved the code somewhere else, removed all code and then added the methods one bye one again (compiled/built after every method's addition). Only one method was causing this error.

    Try the same, you'll find the error containing part of the code and then you can fix it.

    it is a strange behavior in VS  I just cut code some piece  of code in the event  handler class  , paste it again then build the project , the error disappears. Actually, I do not have any error  in the code.

    Well it is not strange, when you were writing the code it might have been saved in the middle and with errors and when you completed it, the saved code wasn't updated in the already built solution. When you removed and added the code again, it rebuild the solution and the code is error free now.

    Its always a good practice to build/compile your work after every change you make.

    If your issue has been resolved please mark the helpful replies as verified and close this thread.

    Just to make sure that I understand the fixing of this issue ,  If I rebuild the whole project instead of build and without making any vague  changes in the the code to be saved, this will resolve the issue?

    There is no need to rebuild the whole project every single time you make a small change, just keep building while you're making changes and make sure there are no errors, then when you are done making changes. Rebuild your project to sort out any inconsistencies if any.

    I've just tried to rebuild  without making   vague  changes but it does not work

    Did you remove and added the class you are working on?

    Save the code, delete the class completely, rebuild your project.

    After that create the class again, add the code then rebuild. Try doing that.

    I just try to find the resolution for such error if I face it another time since making vague changes is not reasonable resolution , also removing the class and adding it again is not the best resolution?

    Well maram maybe someone else has another idea but this is the best to my knowledge for this right now,

    I faced this issue only once and that is how I had to resolve it, after that I build my work after every small change I make. Has not happened to me again.

    I would think that If you keep building your solution along the way properly you shouldn't see it again.
