VS C# Can't add image to a button in Windows.Form

[DarkArchon]

Whenever I try to set the image property of button I get a pop-up error which states
"An item with the same key has already been added."
This error also happens whenever I create a new button and try to set the image. I have a feeling the error has something to do with the resources file for the project, any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

@DarkArchon
If you could provide a code snippet of what you are doing to create the button and assign an image that would help a lot.

@tlhintoq
I agree, a snippet of code would really help us.

Also, could you provide more details about your problem...like...
Are you dynamically creating the button?
How are you assigning the image?

Please remember to use Code Tags when posting code.

Well I would post the code except that the problem exists when I am in the designer mode. The error occurs when I click on a button, go to it's properties, and try to choose image ... button.

Go through your buttons on the page and make sure that you have given names to all of them. Rename them and see if this helps.

[DarkArchon]

They all have names, renamed, still have the same problem.

Well, I saw someone else had the same problem on another site, and here was the resolution:

In my case, my project has two resource files. I only have to delete one resource file, and it works.

So check for that. The resource files are the .resx files.

[DarkArchon]

well I had 2 resource files, I deleted one of them, recompiled and everything. the problem still persists.

Maybe you deleted the wrong one? I'm out of ideas :(

[DarkArchon]

Unfortunately not. Although after checking, i find I get the same problem with labels and stuff. I wish there was a more info in the error than just 'item'

How big is your project, and how far along are you? Would it be possible for you to start a new project and remake it? Copy and paste might be helpful.

Wish I had more help to give you.
