'Application' is not a member of 'My'

I'm trying to add a Splash Screen to my form, but I'm getting the error -

'Application' is not a member of 'My'.

I've done some research and came across two possible solutions, but neither of them have worked for me.

  1. Splash Screen Error "'Application' is not a member of 'My'." The answer here suggests ticking the 'Enable Application Framework' option in the Project settings, but that option is greyed out.
  2. The 'My' Namespace in a VB.NET Application is Missing Members. This answer suggests that I need to add a Reference to the Project in the Project settings, but doing this does not fix the error.

Can anyone please suggest what I can do to solve this problem? Thanks.

Solution

  • That's a known issue for me. Open .vbproj file and change where it says 

    <MyType>Empty</MyType>

    to 

    <MyType>WindowsForm</MyType>
