resx files and BuildAction

Hi all

Can anyone tell me if .resx files ignore the BuildAction property? I have
two resx files in my project, and I wish to choose which one is actually
compiled into my executable. So, I set the BuildAction of one file to
Embedded Resource and the other file is set to None. Both files are compiled
in. Even if I only have one resx file, it is _always_ compiled in,
regardless of Build Action.

This is a VS.NET 2003, framework v1.1 web service application.

The alternative would be to be able to use conditional defines to specify
which file to include in the executable. Is that possible?

Thanks,

Neil Moss.
