If this is a designer generated code, there will be multiple files with partial classes, if that is the case then

there are two things you might try:
1.If it's an auto-generated file (as 'Resources.Designer.cs' tend to be), try deleting it and regenerating it through VS.

2.Either separately or along with the aforementioned point, select Show All Files in the Solution Explorer or open the solution folder in Windows Explorer - it could be that a version of the file somehow got excluded from the project and is therefor 'invisible' to VS. This can cause some confusion and it might solve your problem
