Resource Name is Invalid Identifier

=?Utf-8?B?R3JlZw==?=

I've added some ICO Images to some buttons on my forms. I added them by
selecting an Image via the "Select Resource" window. Anyway, all of my images
are working just fine, I am getting a WARNING message that says

- Resource Name "Picture Image Name" is not a valid Identifier.

I don't understand what this is telling me. I prefer my projects to have no
warning messages all and I would like ot fix what ever the problem is here. I
have other ICO files in my Resource file and they don't display this warning
message. I also get this message for BMP file types as well. In all, I have
10 images setup and only one of them does not display this message and that
is a file type of BMP.

Any solutions?

Thanks

Hi,

I added them by selecting an Image via the "Select Resource" window.

If you select the "Local resource" option in the "Select Resource" window,
the selected image is from the form.resx file. If you select the "Project
resource file" option, the selected image is from a standalone resource
file, e.g. Resources.resx.

Anyway, all of my images are working just fine, I am getting a WARNING

message that says - Resource Name "Picture Image Name" is not a valid
Identifier.

When do you get this warning? You may check the code in the
InitializeCompo nent method within the Form.Designer.v b file to find which
line of code causes this warning.

If the problem is still not solved, please send me a simple project that
could just reproduce the problem. To get my actual email adress, remove
'online' from my displayed email address.

Sincerely,
Linda Liu

=?Utf-8?B?R3JlZw==?=

I'll see about sending you the project with the problem. The files causing
the warning message are not associated with anything yet. They are just a
part of my resource file. They were added by clicking on a control's Image
property and then choosing the Resource file option when adding the project.
Thus, these have all been added to my resource file.

The "Warnings" messages are always available in the "Error" listing Warnings
section of Visual Studio.

The Warnings have NO associated file as these images are not yet used in any
file. When I added them originaly, I may have selected them on another form
that has since been deleted.

These warnings do not prevent my program from running. I just want to know
why I'm getting this warning message.

Also, when you view the files from the Project Properties window using the
Resources tab, you see a Red Circle with an X in it for all the files
reporting this warning.

So, I have just two questions:

1. What does this message mean?
2. What must I do to get rid of the warning messages.

Thanks,
Greg

What to do when numeric resource ID is required in .NET?

by: Scott Smith | last post by:

Several attributes and interface methods I'm using refer to resources (such as strings or icons) by a numeric ID. This was the only way to refer to resources in unmanaged code (C++, for example), but I'm writing in C# now, and it seems that resources are named with string identifiers. Visual Studio doesn't seem to like resource names such as "100", so I'm wondering how this could work. Is it absolutely necessary for me to have a...

arguments.callee.name vs. functionName.name?

by: -Lost | last post by:

What in the world is functionName.name good for? That is: function functionName() { return functionName.name; } I mean, I already had to write out the function's name so it seems that it is not very useful or efficient. To me, this.name seems most appropriate, but of course that does not work within the context of a function unless defined as a class, which of course then the name property does not apply to the calling function.
