Description
### Describe the bug
I have a wpf (core based) project, with net6.0 (with visual studio 2022 enterprise), where I installed from nuget the toolkit mvvm version 8.0.0. In the project I have a very basic class that is defined as partial and inherits ObservableObject (just like any guide that explains how to work with the toolkit's MVVM) and contains 3 fields
each wrapped respectively in an ObservableProperty attribute.
When I try to compile I get errors that I have no idea why they actually happen, the errors actually refer to cs g files that are dynamically created using the toolkit, I will give an example for example I have a field in the basic class (called AstroInfo) called star and on it I get an error below that directs it to the g.cs file
The type 'AstroInfo' already contains a definition for 'Star'
In addition to this, more unclear errors in relation to functions that describe events such as
'AstroInfo' already defines a member called 'OnStarChanging' with the same parameter
and-
A partial method may not have multiple defining
I would appreciate guidance in this regard
