Resolving Name Collisions

The UI Designer creates names for the files it generates based on the names you specify for the project and each individual container. In most cases, choosing a unique name for each UI design within a project ensures that all generated file names within the project are unique. However, it is possible that a generated file name could conflict with the name of a file that you have created manually.

If this occurs, the UI Designer will recognize this problem when it attempts to initialize the UI design and display the File Name Collision Detected dialog (Figure 1).
