VS.2003 and /win32res

[Blue Streak]

Hi, Folks!

Is there a way to configure VS.2003 to add the parameter "/win32res"
when it is compiling a project so that you can specify your own Win32
resource file? I know that VS.2005 has this setting under project
properties but can it be manually added to VS.2003 somehow?

TIA...

I haven't tried it (my 1.1 tools are long gone), but you could perhaps
give MSBee a whirl (in VS2005)? It /might/ take this property and pass
it onto the compiler (the "/win32res switch is listed on the 1.1
version of csc).

Other than that - I would struggle to remember the UI from VS2003, but
is there maybe an "optional compile options" box or similar?

Finally, a manual build file may be your last resort...

As a finaly note; 3.5 RTM is on the horizon, and 2.0+ fairly common
now (since 3.0 ships on Vista). 1.1 is closely approaching a support
cliff... I know there are good and valid business reasons for using
1.1, but it might be worth making sure that you regularly evaluate
that decision... (if indeed there is even a decision to make;
sometimes there isn't).
