    vb.net keeps asking for files that aren't there

    Sometimes they ask for a resources file. Latter designer.settings.vb or something.

    The file is not listed. It's automatically generated. How can I tell vb that I don't need those files?

    Here are the lattest

    Error 1 Error embedding Win32 manifest: Manifest File '\\work\c\businessagus\business\currentprojects\businessmobile\program\hotmailandgoogle.txt\hotmailm aildisconnect\My Project\app.manifest' cannot be found. googlepages


    What is going on?

    How can I tell vb that you don't need the app.manifest file?

    Hey,

    This is quite strange. What changes are you making to the project when this happens?

    All the files that your project knows about are listed in the vbproj file, so if Visual Studio is prompting for it, there must a reference to it in the vbproj file. You could try removing this reference, but I am not sure what knock on effect this might have.

    Clean your clean your bin\debug and bin\release folder and try building the project again.

    That partially help.

    Basically there is an icon on top of project explorer where we can just press to show all "required" files beyond what's normally hidden.

    Select those with ! in it and delete also help.

    I think so but there are still similar trouble. I will mark that as resolve once I am done with this.

    So the way to solve it is again, to put the resolve

    Hey,

    That's fine, I was just curious if you had got it working.

    Are you asking how to mark your thread resolved? If so, check the link in my signature.

    Thanks. I got to do some tests before marking this resolved.

    Hey,

    Yeah, I got that, I wasn't telling you to mark the thread resolved. I took it from your last post that you were asking how you go about marking it resolved.
