Suppose you're moving files between projects and you have to move a Settings or Resource File.  If you drag these files between projects, you’ll notice that Visual Studio doesn’t preserve the relationships between the designer files:  [Image] Since these are embedded resources, you’ll need a few extra steps to get things sorted out: Right-click on the Project and choose Unload Project.  Visual Studio may churn for a few seconds. Once unloaded, Right-click on the project file and choose Edit <Project-Name>. Locate your resource files and setup them up to be embedded resources with auto-generated designer files: <ItemGroup> <None Include="Resources\Settings.settings"> <Generator>SettingsSingleFileGenerator</Generator> <LastGenOutput>Settings.Designer.cs</LastGenOutput> </None> <Compile Include="Resources\Settings.Designer.cs"> <AutoGen>True</AutoGen> <DependentUpon>Settings.settings</DependentUpon> <DesignTimeSharedInput>True</DesignTimeSharedInput> </Compile> <EmbeddedResource Include="Resources\Resources.resx"> <Generator>ResXFileCodeGenerator</Generator> <LastGenOutput>Resources.Designer.cs</LastGenOutput> </EmbeddedResource> <Compile Include="Resources\Resources.Designer.cs"> <AutoGen>True</AutoGen> <DependentUpon>Resources.resx</DependentUpon> <DesignTime>True</DesignTime> </Compile> </ItemGroup> Cheers.
