resources file not working in VS2008

[stormogulen]

Hi,

I have converted a project from VS2005 to VS2008, and I now have
problems accessing icons which are stored in a .resources file.

The target framework is still 2.0.

When I look at the .resources file in the Soultion Explorer, the icon
has changed into the 'unknown file type' icon.

When I run the application, I get a runtime error saying something
like:

Could not find any resources appropriate for the specified culture or
the neutral culture. Make sure "[namespace].managericons.resources"
was correctly embedded or linked into assembly "[namespace]" at
compile time, or that all the satellite assemblies required are
loadable and fully signed.

Has there been any changes to how resources files are handled?

Best regards,
Bjarne

Oh, never mind, I was able to solve it myself...

It seems to be a bug in VS. More info can be found at

I solved it by generating a resx file from the resources i had, and
added that to the project instead.
