VS2008 Compiler problem

[Alejandro Gaio]

Hello All,

I have a problem that appeared with the NEW VERSION of the vb.net compiler
(VS 2008).
To resume things, I have a project (call it "DocumentAdministrator") with
several forms, and two resource files for spanish and english strings. The
problem is that when I compile the project in the old VS 2005 the
neutral-culture resource that is inside the project IS embedded into the
final EXE, but with the new VS 2008 THIS FILE IS NOT INCLUDED in the
compilation.

The two string resource files are called Strings.en.txt and Strings.es.txt.
Besides building satellite assemblies with these files, I use RESGEN to
compile Strings.en.txt as "DocumentAdministrator.Strings.resources" to make
it the neutral-culture assembly. This file is then embedded into the project
and the "Embedded resource" build action is selected for it.

I copied the compiler line that appears in the output window of both
versions (VS 2005 and VS 2008) and this is what I saw:

VS 2005: (Lines resumed for better clarity)
C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\Vbc. exe /noconfig
/baseaddress:11000000 ...
/out:"obj\Debug\Document Administrator.exe"
/resource:obj\Debug\frmImport.resources
/resource:obj\Debug\frmCloneOptions.resources
/resource:"obj\Debug\Document Administrator.Strings.resources" **** The
resource IS compiled into the final EXE

VS 2008: (Lines resumed again)
C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.5\Vbc.exe /noconfig
/baseaddress:11000000 ...
/out:"obj\Debug\Document Administrator.exe"
/resource:obj\Debug\frmImport.resources
/resource:obj\Debug\frmCloneOptions.resources
**** The resource IS NOT compiled into the final EXE

Note: The VS2008 setup has no service packs applied.

Any help will be very appreciated, thanks in advance
Alejandro
