title: The designer cannot process the code at line (line)
body: <p>I was working on a VB.net project and at one point, I could not edit the design of any form due to this error:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>The designer cannot process the code at line 259, please see the Task List for details.  The code within the method 'InitializeComponent' is generated by the designer and should not be manually modified.  Please remove any changes and try opening the designer again.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>It was working just fine before and I made no changes to the forms themselves.
  The only modification I made to this file was adding</p>
  
  <pre><code>Inherits MetroFramework.Forms.MetroForm
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And removing that and replacing it with the original System.Windows.Forms.Form did not solve the problem.</p>
  
  <p>Here is one of the form's code:</p>
  
  <pre><code> &lt;Global.Microsoft.VisualBasic.CompilerServices.DesignerGenerated()&gt;
      Partial Class Config
      Inherits MetroFramework.Forms.MetroForm
      'Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form
      'Form overrides dispose to clean up the component list.
      &lt;System.Diagnostics.DebuggerNonUserCode()&gt;

          Try
              If disposing AndAlso components IsNot Nothing Then
                  components.Dispose()
              End If
          Finally

  <p>Line 259 is this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Me.MetroButton3.UseSelectable = True
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This also happened to another form in the same project.
  Any ideas what could be causing this?</p>
