    Tried to.Still not fixed. When I put a descriptive name, it tell me that namespace with that descriptive name already contains a definition for that name .

    You've got two forms with the same name. Rename the forms, not the namespace (If this isn't working, post the code where you declare the namespace and form so we can see what is happening)

      By any chance did you remove the partial keyword?

              Well, put it back and see if that works with your rename of the form etc.

                  Asside from the fact that you are missing several close brackets '}', which I'm assuming are just because you didn't copy and paste them. You need to put the word 'partial' back into your code. You can't just go removing word without understanding what they mean. The main declaration of the from should be

                  public partial class Form1 : Form

                  The declaration in the Designer.cs file should be

                  partial class Form1

                    When I do that correction, it then tell me that Error The type 'TictacGame.Form1' already contains a definition for 'Startbutton' and the same for all the buttons shown in the code in my previous message. Why is that?

                      Because you've probably declared them twice. Just a quick suggestion. Don't go messing with the code in the Designer.cs file. That's how you've got yourself into this mess. Stick to just using the GUI.

                        How do I fix this error which says "The namespace 'Game' already contains a definition for 'Form1'" What does it mean and how do I fix it. It resulted after I wrote this; public class Form1: System.Windows.Forms.Form Thanks.

                          I tell my students that all the time, and yet, when they have some sort of mess up, that is the root cause.
