Hi, I'm getting an odd, intermittant error. I have several Windows Forms
(VB.NET 2005) in my project that I cannot view in Design mode. The
application runs fine after a compile but I cannot view the forms in the IDE.
I get messages like:

The type 'SMS_OpTransactions.My.Resources.Resources' has no property named
'salary_128'.

'SMS_OpTransactions' is my project name and 'salary_128' is a image file
that I've added through the My Project, Resources page.

I have this particular form in a subfolder within my project. Where my main
application folder is "\SMS_OpTransactions" and contains standard subfolders
for "My Project" and "Resources", I also have a subfolder called
"FinancialScreens" which contains the VB codefiles for this form. There is
also a .RESX file for the form in this subfolder. Could this be the issue?
How can I resolve it?

I also saw this post in the forums. I'm not running Beta 2. I have 2005 Pro
SP1 and the 2.0 .NET Framework.
I also have the Resources.Designer.vb file in my project and
VbMyResourcesResXFileCodeGenerator as the Custom Tool Property. The VS info
on my machine can be seen below.

Any other ideas?

Today I've had the same problems an finally I've found a solution:
It seems to be a bug in VS2005 if you have more than one project in
your solution and some of them have the same root namespace and have
resource files, too. VS2005 seems to look for the requested resource
in the wrong resource-file!

Solution:
Give the resources.resx files a unique namespace. Locate the
resources.resx and change the namespace of the custom tool from
My.Resources to anything else like <projectname>.Resources. You will
have to manually correct the calls to the Resources in the
<File>.Designer.vb files to the new namespaces. After that everything
works fine.

Thanks very much. This solved the issue for me as well. I couldn't find my
way around this without your post. Thanks for getting me back on track.
