Help!.. Trouble with my Visual Studio.

Today.. i tried to open resource file (.rc) with my MS Visual Studio .Net 2003 . I couldn't open it. It says "A resource in this file uses an unknown language: Unknown+language: 0x39, 0x1 Unable to open this file."

I couldn't find the reason also............. DAMN... I have to make a software for my office.. well not the whole software... just a part of it...

I think i should use the external resource editor. Here is one i find interesting.....

Resource Editor for VS.NET 2003 made with VSIP Extras! by Gaston.

Features listed from the site include:

  • Integrated on Visual Studio .NET 2003
  • Edit .resx and .resources files
  • Explore resources in .dll and .exe files, then for example, you can open and see the icons and bitmaps of any assembly. When a DLL or EXE file is opened, the editor automatically appends the .resx extension to the file.
  • Edit of bitmaps and icons using the default editors in VS.NET. (The default bitmap editor doesn't support more than 256 colors so that in these cases MS Paint is opened in order to edit the bitmap)
  • Additionally, edit imagelists, strings, etc.
  • You can add and delete bitmaps, icons and strings. (Bitmaps files are not locked in the file system after an add operation, try another resource editor and see if they have this feature :))
  • Separate tabs for images, icons, strings.
