SYMPTOMS
If you create a project in a pre-release version (Beta 2 or earlier) of Visual Studio .NET, you may receive the following error (or similar) when you try to build the project in the released version:

Resource transformation for file ' .resx' failed. Invalid ResX input.

NOTE: The error message differs according to the type of application (Web application, Windows application, and so on) that you try to build. However, all versions of the error message refer to an Extensible Markup Language (XML) resource (.resx) file.



CAUSE
This problem occurs because the .resx file format is modified after the release of Visual Studio .NET Beta 2.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, use the RegenResx conversion tool to convert the .resx file format. The RegenResx conversion tool is available from the following Microsoft Web site:
