Hi all,

I have been experiencing a problem whereby every time i add a resource and then build my project a new resource file is added called Resources1.Designer.cs when a resource file already exists.

Does anyone know why this might be?

Thanks George

In the "Solution Explorer" under "Properties" what is the name of the .resx file?

It is "Resources.resx" however the file that is duplicating is "Resources.Designer.cs" as it creates "Resources1.Designer.cs" when the project is built when a new resource is added.

Just tried this and it still added Resources1.Designer.cs

SQL

In my case, just Rename your resource file with a name start with Resource then Resource.designer.cs will auto generate.

Ex:
Resource.Homepage.resx
Resource.vi.resx
Resource.en.resx

Try opening the 'Resources.Designer.cs', as in view the generated code - I'm fairly certain you'll find a new way to access the resources :)

Thanks for this although not sure if i understand entirely, i might be missing the hint but why would i need a new way of accessing resources?

Solution 4

Open csproj file of your project

Find the below tags:-
<EmbeddedResource Include="Resources\Resources.resx"> <Generator>ResXFileCodeGenerator</Generator>
<LastGenOutput>Resources1.Designer.cs</LastGenOutput>
</EmbeddedResource>

Then change it to below:-

<EmbeddedResource Include="Resources\Resources.resx"> <Generator>ResXFileCodeGenerator</Generator>
<LastGenOutput>Resources.Designer.cs</LastGenOutput>
</EmbeddedResource>

Hope this helps you. :)

Thank you for this prachi i can now add a new resource and this problem does not occur. I don't know how it got to be "Resources1" in the first place but this fix worked.

Thanks George =)
