[2005] Resources Problem Please Help

[Wulfgur]

Hey, I've just added a lot of existing forums and modules to my project, and i have managed to clear up most of the errors that have come up. There is one left, so if someone could give me some help it would be appreciated.

The item "obj\Release\Project.Resources.resources" was specified more than once in the "Resources" Parameter. Duplicate items are not supported by the "Resources" parameter.

I know what its asking (i think) but just don't know how to fix it, i have tried and failed numerous times.

Thanks

Right-click on your project and then select properties. Then select the resources tab and remove the duplicate entry.

Did you recently create a new project by copying an existing project?

Sorry for the late relply, its morning now.
I will be able to try and remove the duplicate entry in about 2 hours or so, so i will reply then to let you know if it works or not.

Basically i have two projects that i wanted to combine into 1. the 1 project was very simple, had only forums no resources.
But i needed to copy project 2, (the more complicated one) into the simple one.

I copied them in by:
Right clicking on 'project'
Add Tab
then existing item.
I then searched for the form or module and imported it.
I then had to import the resources because i had alot of errors.

(Btw i don't know the 'best' way to merge 2 projects, so i might of done it the hard way)

I'll give you an update in a few hours, thanks.

On the subject of merging two projects, there is no specific way to do it. Chances are in most cases they should be kept separate anyway, and just have one reference the other. If you really do want classes from both in the same project then you should add both projects to the same solution and then just drag the items from project to the other in the Solution Explorer. There may be some naming issues to sort out afterwards but that's pretty much your best bet. If you don't want to put them in the same solution then you can just select Add -> Existing Item repeatedly in on of them.
