form1.vb [design] error?

I get an error while trying to change the interface on my program:


An error occured while loading the document. Fix the error then try loading it again. The error message is as follows:


The designer could not be shown for this file because none of its classes can be shown.

and i keep on getting this build error(on all the subs):

Statement is not valid in namespace.


But when i run it to debug... it runs fine it just has that build error but i doesnt look any different. Thanks!

Post the code for us to check out.

VB Code:

Public Class Form1
 
#Region " Windows Form Designer generated code "
 
Public Sub New()
    MyBase.New()
 
    'This call is required by the Windows Form Designer.
    InitializeComponent()
 
    'Add any initialization after the InitializeComponent() call
 
End Sub
 
'Form overrides dispose to clean up the component list.
Protected Overloads Overrides Sub Dispose(ByVal disposing As Boolean)
    If disposing Then
        If Not (components Is Nothing) Then
            components.Dispose()
        End If
    End If
    MyBase.Dispose(disposing)
End Sub

Right click on the project (right pane) to bring up the property pages then from the startup object drop down, select Form1. Then run again.
