For some reason on my current project I create my resource file via the project properties, add a load of existing images. Then go to add these images to menu items, save it. At this point everything looks fine and the images are all mapped correctly.
However once I close the designer for that form, then open it up I get the error dialog saying:
The type 'My.Project.Properties.Resources' has no property named 'icon_plus'.
The annoying thing is that if you follow it through to the code there is no error, it compiles fine:
this.newToolStripMenuItem.Image = global::My.Project.Properties.Resources.icon_plus;
I have tried deleting all resources and removing the resource file from the project, completely closing down the IDE then re-loading it. I have moved the location of the files, but I am just out of ideas and it is REALLY starting to grate with about 10 forms and controls which each give me this error them remove the icons from the UI.
