Hello, I got this error when I try to view my form in designer mode:

The name 'components' is already used by another object.

at System.ComponentModel.Design.Serialization.DesignerSerializationManager.System.ComponentModel.Design.Serialization.IDesignerSerializationManager.SetName(Object instance, String name)
at System.ComponentModel.Design.Serialization.ContainerCodeDomSerializer.DeserializeInstance(IDesignerSerializationManager manager, Type type, Object[] parameters, String name, Boolean addToContainer)

at System.ComponentModel.Design.Serialization.CodeDomSerializerBase.DeserializeAssignStatement(IDesignerSerializationManager manager, CodeAssignStatement statement)

I don't know how this would have occured. It was working fine about ten minutes

    It's a recurring bug in Visual Studio 2005. It even has a name: WSOD. "White Screen of Darn"

    If you can get it to reproduce with documentable steps, you should open a bug under Product Feedback so that we can get this puppy fixed for SP1.

    Perhaps you have two member objects and have set their Name properties to the same name

    Nevermind, all I had to do was rebuild my solution. Why that error happened is beyond me though

    It's strange though because I can still build and run my application. The only thing is that I can't see my form in the design mode.

    I have a similar error, I did a bugreport. I also found a workarround. It happens quiet often, so it's teasing my visual studio experience.

    url: https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/ViewFeedback.aspx FeedbackID=240129

    workarround:

    the error msg is correct, you will find the following in the designer file of the form
    private void InitializeComponent()
    {
    this.components = new System.ComponentModel.Container();
    this.components = new System.ComponentModel.Container();
    System.ComponentModel.ComponentResourceManager resources = new Syste...
    As you can see you this.components appears 2 times. Remove one and reopen the design view fixes the problem.
