   [.net] Add Resources Disabled in C++ Express
  I have a console C++ application in MS Visual C++ 2005 Exress and I'd like to add an icon resource to it.  The Project->Add Resources menu item is greyed out though.  Does anyone know why this is and how I can add my icon?   
  You cannot edit Resource files using the Express Editions. Unfortunatley, you can only do so with the Standard, Professional, etc. editions.Yea, I know.... it sucks.   ;  < sarcasm >Yeah, MS should have given the full functionality of the Pro version in the Express version! < /sarcasm >   ;  Okay thanks, I wasn't sure if that was the case or not.   ;  You could use SharpDevelop.   ;  Thanks for the suggestion and I checked it out, but the situation is that I already have a project written in C++ and all I'd like to do is add a resource (an icon) to it.  SharpDevelop seems to only support C# and VB and expectedly didn't seem to work out when I tried to open up and modify my C++ project.So am I doing something wrong with SharpDevelop or are there any other ways of simply adding a single icon resource to a project?   ;  Hmm, no problem adding resources to a VB.NET project. Maybe it's a quirk of C++ EE?   ;  Why don't you just open your .rc file and add the code to that manually? My app has the following code for an icon:1 ICON "app.ico"EDIT: This may be helpful.EDIT2: If your project is using a .resx instead of a .rc you might look using Resourcer.   ;  thannett, thanks, that was certainly all that it needed.  I haven't worked much with Windows resources and didn't really know how all the pieces fit together (just that I needed the icon added as a resource to my project).So anyway, problem solved, thanks to all who replied!
