Let’s say I have a directory A, and has a project file x.csproj and sln in that directory.
I also have resource file x.resources in it.

How can I set the resource file without the absolute path C:\A\x.resources, but relative path .\x.resources? I tried with x.resources but it doesn’t work.

    Just ran into the same problem. My co-worker didn’t even try to fix it in the UI but just hacked the CSPROJ file in a text editor:

    CSPROJ Path: C:\foo\bar\SolutionNm\ProjectNm\ProjectNm.csproj

    Res Path: C:\foo\bar\Icons.res

    Original:

      <PropertyGroup>
    <Win32Resource>C:\foo\bar\Icons.res</Win32Resource>
  </PropertyGroup>

    Modified:

      <PropertyGroup>
    <Win32Resource>..\..\Icons.res</Win32Resource>
  </PropertyGroup>

    As long as you don’t try to modify the value in the UI again, it won’t complain

    Cheers,
