I am continuously getting this error message: "You must rename an identifier" from Visual Studio 2017 Community Edition.

The error dialog is:

  • Title: Microsoft Visual Studio,
  • Icon: Red circle with a white X (Error),
  • Body: "You must rename an identifier."
  • Available Buttons: OK

Error Message

I have already ran a repair of my Visual Studio installation, but the problem is still the same.

I faced the same error and resolved it by restarting visual studio.
