What is the error "member names cannot be the same as their enclosing type" means when creating a constructor, and how to solve it?

When tring to create a constructor for a class from the same class name. Why does it throws an error saying as follows:

" Error: 'StaveProcessor': member names cannot be the same as their enclosing type"

Code : 

namespace ImageProcessing
{
    class StaveProcessor
    {
        public Bitmap stave;

        public StaveProcessor(Bitmap image) //constructor
        {
            stave = image;
        }
    }
}

How to solve this and create the constructor?

ps: Please consider my self not as an expert and excuse me for asking silly question if, and help me to learn and identify. Thank You

@hirosht your code haven't got any error: see this page there was the same problem

Answer is(I think) you've declared your constructor with a type, like void or int or something else.

Well the code that you've provided has no issues in it (it compiles), the exception you're getting would show if you did something like the following:

class StaveProcessor
{
    // can't have this method with this name (note the void, it's not a constructor)
    public void StaveProcessor(Bitmap image)
    {
        stave = image;
    }
}
