    In VC 6 if I need to add resources from project A to B, I just open A.rc in project B and drag and drop required resources. I can't do it in VS 2008! :confused: Am I missing something obvious? How does one copy a bunch of dialog (and other) resources from existing project in VS 2008?

      Never mind :) Apparently you can't drag resources onto a Resource View tab anymore. You have to right-click on Myproject.rc file in Solution Explorer tab and select "Open With..." option. Then choose "Resource Editor" from presented selections. This will open your resource file in "editing mode" and you can drop resources from another .rc file here. Cheers, Damir
