Hi. I have an error of "the best overloaded method match for System.Windows.Forms.Application.Run(System.Windows.Forms.ApplicationContext)' has some invalid arguments at "

Application.Run(new Form1 ());

"
Any idea how to solve this?

Solution 1

When you renamed the file, you may have renamed the Form1 class at the same time. So, now, instead of Application.Run(new Form1());, you have to replace Form1 with the actual name of the form.

Solution 2

Make sure the following has the same name (Form1)

Form Name(open the form -> property F4 -> Name property )
Code File (open the form -> View Code F7)

C#
```
public partial class Form1 : Form
```
Designer File

C#
```
partial class Form1
```

if it doesn't work, create a new form and add the relevant code ( Code File + designer File code) from Form1 to new form and add the form id in

Application.Run(new NewFormName ());
