I have a VB.NET 2008 project that is inexplicably starting to generate this error:
"An error occurred creating the form. See Exception.InnerException for details. The error is: The form referred to itself during construction from a default instance, which led to infinite recursion. Within the Form's constructor refer to the form using 'Me.'"
I haven't changed the section of code that is generating the error in ages, and this isn't true; the form that it wants me to call "me" isn't related to the process at all. If I change it to "me", then it doesn't work because the form in question isn't actually "me".
Here's the exception detail:
System.InvalidOperationException was unhandled
Message="An error occurred creating the form. See Exception.InnerException for details. The error is: The form referred to itself during construction from a default instance, which led to infinite recursion. Within the Form's constructor refer to the form using 'Me.'"

InnerException:
It has started happening now twice when I made seemingly completely unrelated changes (as in, changes to no form involved in the function or to the function.) Any help would be really appreciated.
I am a total newbie to VB.Net (and not particularly versed in programming in general) so it could be something really obvious I am overlooking; any suggestions are welcome even if you think "that's so stupid he must have tried it" ;) Thanks a lot.
