resx resource file shows warning "The resource name is not a valid identifier"

Question

Background

• I began converting strings to resources for within application.
• They all worked fine.
• My PC restarted itself without warning (power issue).

Problem

• Four resources within my RESX file trigger a warning along the lines of:

  The resource name '[name]' is not a valid identifier.

Where [name] is the name of the resource.

I can't find what I'm doing wrong, and I can't determine whether this is related to my other power failure issue.

I know resource names shouldn't contain spaces or periods, but I've checked mine and I don't think they do (PS I know the names could be much better, and do plan to reviswit it).

Answer 1

You cannot start your resource name with a number.

Answer 2

Actually in the Resx designer, if you change the "Access Modifier" dropdown, to "No code generation", the designer.cs and the warning "The resource name '[name]' is not a valid identifier." go away.

Unless the designer cs is necessary for you to have, you can try this approach as well.
