    In a vb.net 2012 vb.net desktop application that I am opening for the first time, I am getting the following error and warning message: Error 1 Resource file "My Project\Resources.resx" cannot be found. Warning 2 A custom tool 'VbMyResourcesResXFileCodeGenerator' is associated with file 'My Project\Resources.resx', but the output of the custom tool was not found in the project. You may try re-running the custom tool by right-clicking on the file in the Solution Explorer and choosing Run Custom Tool. I tried to run the custom tool that was suggested in the warning message and that did not help. Thus can you tell me what I can do to get the Resources.resx file that is missing? Is there a way that I can paste a screen print of what the visual studio ide is to this post so that you can see it?

      The file is missing. You need to get a copy of it from whoever created the project. If you can't find a copy of the file, then you'll have to add a new resource file, and re-create all of the resources.

        Or you could always the many, many things to try that you would have found using a simple google search.

          You mentioned the following ,"If you can't find a copy of the file, then you'll have to add a new resource file, and re-create all of the resources." There is no resource file. Thus can you tell me how to create the resource file and recreate all the resources? I do not know how to create a resource file and I do not know how to re-create all of the resources. How can I tell what resources need to be added?

            If you have no idea what was in the resources to begin with, there is very little in the code that's going to tell you. Resources are strings, files, icons, images, data, ... that your app uses. There is really no way for you to "figure out" what was in there. The bottom line is you MUST find the missing file(s).
