visual c++ 2010 can't add resource file

Question

i want to add to my project a resource file but vs2010 won\'t let me. what do i do?

Answer 1

If you use Express Edition, then you can't compile resources (may be it is a reason, why you can't add them too).

Answer 2

When you create a Win32 Application, do not select "Empty project", and it will create some resource files for you, you can add your own resource in it.(ProjectName.rc->View Code...then edit)
