VERSION|0.4.7.1|SUBJECT|.Net, C#, and Visual Studio - Duplicate Declaration of Member Location|CONTENT|[b]Problem:[/b]
I get this error message: &quot;Duplicate declaration of member &#039;location&#039;&quot;

[b]Longer description:[/b]
When I try to pull up a form in design view, all the controls show up in the top-left corner of the form, and the error message appears in the task list.  The form itself is not all that complicated.

[b]Cause:[/b]
Beats me, but I read somewhere something about a race condition with compiling versus bringing up the form.  Also, I found a [url=http://support.microsoft.com/kb/821309]hotfix[/url] from Microsoft, but it looks like it is only for when the error occurs when you are opening a solution.  Also, it says it is for Japanese version only...  Well, that doesn&#039;t help me...

[b]Fix:[/b]
I fixed the problem by deleting all the intermediate files (.dll and other binaries) and restarting visual studio.  Good luck.

[b]Additional Notes:[/b]
(2005-Apr-28):
At least one other person who received this problem was not able to solve it by simply deleting all the .dll files.  They were using source control, and after a clean checkout, things worked fine.  This leads me to believe that possibly the .csproj.user and/or .suo files are also partly to blame.  That&#039;s also what the [url=http://support.microsoft.com/kb/821309]microsoft workaround[/url] would seem to suggest.|CATEGORIES|2|DATE|1111215600
