    Hi,

    Whenever I make changes to the designer , lets say for instance , The Title property , or the Icon property , and when i try to save the file I get the following error :

    "Code Generation for property "LocaleIndependentIdentifier' failed. Error was : 'Property accessor 'LocaleIndependentIdentifier' on object "XXXXXX" threw the following exception: 'Object reference not set to an instance of an object.' ' ".

    I really don't know what I'm missing here and I'm not able to proceed any further.

    P.S. When I make changes to the designer.cs file for the title property in notepad++ and then reopen Visual Studio, it seems to accept my change . But I'm unable to to this to set a new icon to the window. 

    I've also tried closing and reopening Visual Studio , it doesn't seem to work.

    Any help would be highly appreciated.

    Hi Nikhil,

    What the type of your project is?   

    How did you change the designer? 

    Please provide more details about how did you do your operation.

    Regards,

    Frankie

    Hi Frankie,

    This is a Winforms project.

    This issue occurs when I change any property of a UI element of a window.
