embedded resources in VS 2005

[mnsindhu74]

I am using Visual studio 2005. I want to embed few custom dialog boxes
as resources . In VS.Net the resources are stored in .resx files. In
VC++ we could use the resource editor to create and edit dialog
resources. But there is no editor to do the same in VS.Net. Can some
one help me with this issue

thanks

When you say VS.NET you mean VS2003?
Anyway, work the same in VS2005!

If you want to create a dialgo box: new +> control: that's it!

Further to what Lloyd said, you need to explain what language you are
using. Are you using unmanaged C++ in VS2005, or managed C++? (Or one
iof the other managed languages?)

Managed code uses .resx files for binary (.ico, .bmp, .cur etc) and
string resources, but it *does not* use them for dialogs. Windows Forms
dialogs are described *in code* (the InitializeComponent method) and VS
provides a form designer to edit it.

Unmanaged C++ uses .rc resource scripts for resources *including
dialogs* and you use the resource editor to change the script. There is
a dialog editor to change dialog resources.
