Initialize Component Error C#

Question

So I was all done with my program and tried to edit a few small things at the top, and started getting errors and can't change them back. Here is the code:

namespace FinalProject
{
    public partial class Form : Form
    {
        public Form();
        {
           InitializeComponent();

        }
    }
}

I changed the Form: Form part and then it made the InitializeComponent(); into an error. Tried to change it back and its still showing the error. Undo is not an option and I'm sure it's an easy fix.

Sorry, but I don't understand your question. Try to clarify, explain what is expected, what is actual, what you did, and exact error messages if any. — Steve B, Oct 23 '12 at 06:59
`public Form();` ?? is it a typo ? this should be `public Form()` I guess — yogi, Oct 23 '12 at 07:00
Can you tell the complete error? and have a look inside InitializeComponent may be there is still something wrong. — muhammad kashif, Oct 23 '12 at 07:01

Remove the semicolon at the end of the first line of the constructor.
Change your class name to something other than "Form".

The name 'InitializeComponent' does not exist in the current context. <---That's my error. – Boneyards Oct 23 '12 at 07:08
Change also the class name in the designer.cs file – Amiram Korach Oct 23 '12 at 07:12

A Class named Form cannot inherit another class also named Form. You have to give it a different name.

InitializeComponent(); Became underlined, and all the void parts of my code are red underlined, and my array names and streamreaders are all underlined. – Boneyards Oct 23 '12 at 07:03
