Extension method must be defined in a non-generic static class
<p>I'm getting the above error. I saw other similar posts on this error but I don't seem to find where the problem is. I changed my class type to static and the error resists. This is the entire code to my main form class:</p>

<p>I Edited my class. This is how it looks like now and the error has changed to:Missing partial modifier on declaration of type 'PhoneFind.frmMain'; another partial declaration of this type exists.</p>
