Cannot open Resource Editor in VS 2005

[hbell1]

I had created a dialog (a resource file with rc extension) with VS 2003 and now that I upgraded to VS 2005 I cannot open it (the rc file) with the Resource Editor.When I right click on the file from Solution Explorer, select Open With, select Resource Editor, the MS Visual Studio error message says:

"The file cannot be opened with the selected editor. Please choose another editor."

The project compiles and executes fine with the existing rc file, so I don't know why I can't edit it withResource Editor.

What's going on?Any ideas?

Are you using the VS2005 Premier Partner Edition (VSPPE) bundled with the compiler or a separately purchased VS2005. If VSPPE, the resource editor is not included, as stated in the release notes. If the latter, download and install Service Pack 1 for VS2005.

Steve,

Here is what I have installed when I click "About Microsoft Visual Studio" (I seem to have VSPPE and Service Pack 1 installed):

Microsoft Visual Studio 2005
Version 8.0.50727.762 (SP.050727-7600)
Microsoft .NET Framework
Version 2.0.50727 SP1

Installed Edition: IDE Standard

VSPPE means no resource editor - sorry. Microsoft insists that the resource editor is part of their Visual C++ product and does not license it to the "Visual Studio Integration Partners".

My advice is to reinstall VS2003 and Intel Visual Fortran - the bundled VSPPE offers fewer features than VS2003 and is intended for people who do not already have a supported VS.

Steve,

Before I go through the downgrade of VS2005 to VS2003 I have a couple questions:

Will I lose my project file settings in the uninstall/install process or will VS2003 be able to use the VS2005 project settings without any changes?

Just in case, is there a quick way to print out all of my project settings?

Harry

[Steven_L_Intel1]

You can't open a VS2005 Solution in VS2003, but you can create a blank solution and add the Fortran project to it from the .vfproj file. I suggest deleting the .sln and .suo files before trying this.

Steve,

When I uninstalled VS2005 then installed VS2003 it no longer has Intel Visual Fortran integrated. Do I now need to uninstall and re-install Intel Visual Fortran? Which versions of IVF will work with VS2003?

Harry

[Les_Neilson]

If you have IVF already installed then youmay only need to run theintegration part of the install.

IVF v9or v10 will work with VS2003.

Les

[Steven_L_Intel1]

Les is correct. Run w_ide_p_10.1.xxx.exe which you will find in the Program FilesIntelDownloadIntelFortranCompiler10.1Installs folder.

Hi,

I am using Intel Visual fortran for developing some engineering applications. I have convered my application from console application to quickwin application for making it more user friendly. Unforunatley, I can not develop dialogs as my resource editor is not working. How can I add some dialog boxes to my application?

thanks,

Mohammad

[Jugoslav_Dujic]

Try http://www.resedit.net/. I didn't play with it too much, but looks like a quite decent replacement for the built-in resource editor. You can add the .rc file to your Visual Studio project and it will get compiled automatically.

Hello,

I am developing an OpenGL application and I am considering upgrading from Intel Fortran 9 to version 11. Can anyone tell me if theincludedVisual Studio 5 Premier Partner Edition supports full multiple-document-interface applications, and if it provides the OpenGL libraries?

Thanks very much.

alg

[Steven_L_Intel1]

OpenGL libraries are provided and there's no issue creating MDI applications.

Hi everyone.

Ok, I am a little bit confused now. I have installed the same version of Microsoft Visual Studion as the one quoted above

Microsoft Visual Studio 2005
Version 8.0.50727.762 (SP.050727-7600)
Microsoft .NET Framework
Version 2.0.50727 SP1

I would like to work with my Intel Visual Fortran 10.0 using Visual Studio. But from this thread I get the impression that Intel Fortran does not work with the Visual Studio 2005 professional edition?

Actually my Visual Studio cannot reckognize .f90-files (i.e. comments don't apear green and keywords in blue, etc.)and I can't create Fortran projects. If it indeed is possible to work with Intel Fortran from Visual Studio 2005 can anyone tell me how I can make Visual Studio 2005 "see" that I have Intel Visual Fortran installed?I have spent a long time browsing through the menus in Visual Studio (and the internet) to find a way to "add a compiler" or similar...

I can compile myFortran source files from the command line, so theIntel Fortran compileris working.

Best regards

Yes it does work with VS2005. The fortran should be installed *after* installing VS2005 andits Service Pack 1, and you need to choose the "Visual Studio integration"

A re-install of the fortran compiler (or at least the integration part)should fix it.
