I have a vb.net program in the file path;
I:\Developement\Movie Collection

In that directory (Movie Collection) are 3 files of the .net program;

EntryForm1.vb 12/12/22
EntryForm1.resx 12/12/22
EntryForm1.Designer.vb 12/12/22

In the ‘Development’ directory are also 3 files;

EntryForm1.vb 02/19/23
EntryForm1.resx 02/19/23
EntryForm.Designer1.vb 02/19/23

When I change the names of files in the ‘Development’ directory, by adding an ‘a’ at the beginning of the filenames and then running the Movie Collection app in the Movie Collection directory, I get the following error;

Severity Code Description Project File Line
Error Unable to create a manifest resource name for "..\EntryForm1.resx". Could not find file 'I:\Development\EntryForm1.vb'. Movie Collection

Which tells me that the vb.net app is using the files from the ‘Development’ directory and not the ‘Movie Collection’ directory where it should be.

I have tried copying the files from the ‘Development’ directory into the ‘Movie Collection’ directory, but it doesn’t make a difference. How do I move the files back into the correct directory and let the program know to look for them there instead of the ‘Development’ directory?
