Resources 'file1' and 'file2' have the same manifest resource name 'name'

I keep getting this message>>Resources frmpicture and frmStatus have the same manifest resource name :WorkWithPicture.frmStatus.resources' and I am really stuck trying to figure this out. What needs to be done. I have tried renaming the files but error persists

A simple answer would be to start a new project and copy across your code bit by bit, checking that it compiles ok as you go.

You can cut-and-paste the controls from the forms and also cut-and-paste the code that you have written. Do not copy the Windows Generated Code, let the IDE generate that for itself in the new project.

This will probably fix the problem, although it will be hard work if you've got a big project, and you'll never find out what actually caused the error (although you may not care...)

This is what I ended up doing.. Thanks for helping.

I found another method to eliminate this error message. Open the .vbproj file in Notepad and navigate down to the end of the file. There you should find references to your error messages.

Delete the references from the </File> to the corresponding </>. Save the results and that pesky error shoud disappear.
