Cannot implicitly convert type 'string' to 'System.Windows.Forms.TextBox'

Question

I don\'t know what to do because the error is in the Form1.Designer.cs and because I have no experience in debugging that part of the program.

Answer 1

The error is on this.Name = "Form1";

I suspect you have created a control named Name, which conflicts with the Name property of the window. Just rename the control to something else and it should work again.

Answer 2

The error must come from somewhere else, there's nothing here with a TextBox. The error is probably caused by assigning a string to a TextBox itself instead of assigning a string to the Text property of the TextBox.

Example:

TextBox tb = new TextBox();
tb = "Default text";

This should be:

TextBox tb = new TextBox();
tb.Text = "Default text";

Otherwise you have created a control with a name like Name or Text, in which case you'll have to rename it to NameTextBox or something.
