Error: 'Protected Overrides Sub Dispose(disposing As Boolean)' has multiple definitio

[sprooch]

Hello....

I am trying a example codes of animated graphics. I rewrote all the code and I found an error which doesn't happen on the example code(I run the example project)

error:
'Protected Overrides Sub Dispose(disposing As Boolean)' has multiple definitions with identical signatures.

when I double clicked the error, I got this in Form1.Designer.vb:

'Form overrides dispose to clean up the component list.
    <System.Diagnostics.DebuggerNonUserCode()> _
    Protected Overrides Sub Dispose(ByVal disposing As Boolean)
        Try
            If disposing AndAlso components IsNot Nothing Then
                components.Dispose()
            End If
        Finally
            MyBase.Dispose(disposing)
        End Try
    End Sub

The 'Dispose' is also on my Form1.vb:

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

Anybody knows why? and How to solve this?

Removing any one of the defintions will resolve the error

Yes,

I just deleted the one in Form1.Designer.vb
Thank you.

Thank you.

Be aware that fiddling around with the designer code could lead to unexpected results. Usually the designer would reset the code as it wants as soon as you change something on the form. So I'd recommend avoid anything with the designer unless it is impossible otherwise.

I would concur with Pradeep. I would remove the one from your form code and not the designer code. There is a Disposed event which you can use to dispose of any objects you created.

Thanks for the advise...

I'll change it...
