Help Needed in C# (picture viewer)

[mytime19]

I have created a picture viewer in C# but it's giving 2 errors, i don't know how to deal with them. I'm at beginner level in C#. So please help me in this, I have written the code and errors below, you can look at that.

using System; 
using System.Collections.Generic; 
using System.ComponentModel; 
using System.Data; 
using System.Drawing; 
using System.Text; 
using System.Windows.Forms; 

namespace WindowsApplication1 
{ 
    public partial class Myform : Form 
    { 
        private System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem menuFile; 
        private System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem menuLoad; 
        private System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem menuImage; 
        private System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem menuExit; 
        private System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem menuStretch; 
        private System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem menuView; 

        private PictureBox pboxPhoto; 

        private void InitializeComponent() 
        { 
            this.menuFile = new System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem(); 
            this.menuLoad = new System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem(); 
            this.menuImage = new System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem(); 
            this.menuExit = new System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem(); 
            this.menuStretch = new System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem(); 
            this.menuExit = new System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem(); 
            this.menuView = new System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem(); 

            this.mainMenu1.MenuItems.AddRange(new System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem[] { this.menuFile }); 
            this.menuFile.Index = 0; 
            this.menuFile.Text = "&File"; 
            this.menuLoad.Index = 0; 
            this.menuLoad.Shortcut = System.Windows.Forms.Shortcut.Ctrl; 
            this.menuLoad.Text = "&Load"; 
            this.menuExit.Index = 1; 
            this.menuExit.Text = "&Exit"; 

            menuView.Index = 1; 
            menuView.Text = "&View"; 

        } 

        public Myform() 
        { 
            this.Text = "Picture viewer"; 
            this.MinimumSize = new Size(200, 200); 



            // Create and configure the PictureBox 
            pboxPhoto = new PictureBox(); 
            pboxPhoto.BorderStyle = System.Windows.Forms.BorderStyle.Fixed3D; 
            pboxPhoto.Width = this.Width; 
            pboxPhoto.Height = this.Height; 
            pboxPhoto.Left = (this.Width - pboxPhoto.Width) / 2; 
            pboxPhoto.Top = (this.Height - pboxPhoto.Height) / 2; 
            pboxPhoto.SizeMode = PictureBoxSizeMode.StretchImage; 
            pboxPhoto.Anchor = AnchorStyles.Top | AnchorStyles.Bottom 
            | AnchorStyles.Left | AnchorStyles.Right; 
            // Add our new controls to the Form 
            this.Controls.Add(pboxPhoto); 


        } 

        private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) 
        { 

        } 
        
        protected void menuLoad_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e) 
        { 
            menuLoad.Click += new System.EventHandler(this.menuLoad_Click); 

            OpenFileDialog dlg = new OpenFileDialog(); 
            dlg.Title = "Open Photo"; 
            dlg.Filter = "jpg files (*.jpg)|*.jpg|All files (*.*)|*.*"; 
            if (dlg.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK) 
            { 
                try 
                { 
                    pbxPhoto.Image = new Bitmap(dlg.OpenFile()); 
                } 
                catch (Exception ex) 
                { 
                    MessageBox.Show("Unable to load file: " + ex.Message); 
                } 

                dlg.Dispose(); 
            } 
        } 

        protected void menuExit_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e) 
        { 
            this.Close(); 
        } 
        private PictureBoxSizeMode[] modeMenuArray = 
            { 
                PictureBoxSizeMode.StretchImage,PictureBoxSizeMode.Normal}; 
    } 
}

Error Message 1: Type 'WindowsApplication1.Myform' already defines a member called 'InitializeComponent' with the same parameter types
Error message 2: The type 'WindowsApplication1.Myform' already contains a definition for 'menuFile'

Can anyone help me in this code:(

Thanks a lot ..

i tried to remove my errors by myself and finally i am at one last error as i replaced this code

private PictureBoxSizeMode[] modeMenuArray = 
            { 
                PictureBoxSizeMode.StretchImage,PictureBoxSizeMode.Normal};

by private PictureBoxSizeMode[] modeMenuArray=null; and finally added this also in the myform class protected override void Dispose(bool dispose){base.Dispose(dispose);}

'WindowsApplication1.Myform.Dispose(bool)' hides inherited member 'System.Windows.Forms.Form.Dispose(bool)'. To make the current member override that implementation, add the override keyword. Otherwise add the new keyword.

Thanks, as i am trying to get it solve it very quickly as i can.

It seems you have copied (or used) a VS 2003 application in VS2005. There were some subtle changes when VS2005 was introduced which included Partial Classes.

Previously when creating a windows form in VS2003 you had 2 files created - the designer and the code file (plus resx but we will leave that as it didnt change). When you dropped a component on the VS2003 it added all the code to create that component in the InitialiseComponent() method in the cs code file. There used to be a region which was called "Windows Generated Code - Do not edit" where this was all done. But people used to mess in there and have their forms broken. So in VS2005 MS broke it out into a 3rd form (the designer file) and used Partial Classes (a partial class allows you to define a class in multiple files - which makes following your code much easier and I recommend you break all your classes down in this way).

You have copied the VS2003 c# code (myform.cs) (including the initialisecomponent() code) in your VS2005 c# code (myform.cs) and you already have a file (myform.designer.cs) with that in it. So the errors are because you have 2 InitialiseComponent methods (Which you are allowed - thats called overriding) but they have the same signature (ie same parameters - none in this case) which is not allowed in overriding.
The second error is the same as there are two identical instances of FileMenu trying to be created - one in your code and one in the designer code (both in the Initialise component).

If you are using VS2005 I think you can get rid of your InitialiseCompnent code (not the call to it in the constructor but the code itself) in your myform.cs file.
