Visual Studio 2008 crashes when I try to open Resource View. How do i fix it?

Question

I am migrating a project from Visual Studio 6 to Visual Studio 9. The project is building and displaying correctly, but Visual Studio crashes if I try to open the resource view to edit the dialogs. The crashing was happening prior to me attemting to edit the text files directly, but the only change I made to the files is I removed DS_MODALFRAME from the dialogs.

Has anyone encoutered this issue before? How did you fix it?

I am not sure this will help much, but here is what debug spit out when I ran it on Visual Studio after the crash.

Answer 1

The solution was to remove the #include "newres.h" in the (project).rc file. I am not sure yet if there are any drawbacks from doing this.

#define  APSTUDIO_READONLY_SYMBOLS

// Generated from the TEXTINCLUDE 2 resource.

#include  "afxres.h"
//#include "newres.h"

#undef  APSTUDIO_READONLY_SYMBOLS
