Answer 4

Fütemire described my problem. I had just "cleaned up" some unused files in both the resources (doing an Open My Project within VS) and probably (I must admit), I deleted some files directly from the Resources folder outside of VS. Oops.

I just opened Resources.resx file and found two items that red underscores, indicating it couldn't find these files. I removed those data blocks within the XML file and that fixed the problem for me. Thanks.

Answer 5

simply edit the Resources.resx in notepad++. Trace the cause of the error (error displays in the Resources tab of your project properties), remove the line that causes the error. then on your solution explorer, right-click Resources.resx then Run Custom Tool.

this would surely resolve the problem.

In My case the simple fix was

1. Edit the resources.resx file to not have duplicate entries as mentioned above.
2. Remove Last Entries you Entered, could be causing the problem
3. Go to the 'My Project' section for you application.
4. Change the application type from Windows Forms Application to Class Library, then change it back.
5. In my case that hooked up the My.Resources again.
