I'm trying to learn game programming. I am using Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Express on Windows Vista. I want to know how to create a resource file (.rc). The microsoft website gives some fairly ambiguous instructions on creating one. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/sxdy04be.aspx. If I go to my Solution explorer, right click and select Add New Item, the IDE does not give a .rc file as one of the options. It only gives me a .cpp, .h and windows form as options. I don't know what to do. I just can't figure out where i'm goofing up. I'd be very grateful if someone could point me in the right direction.
Thanks a lot Merry christmas!
The Visual Studio Express 2010 does not have the ability to edit resource files. Take a look at this MSDN page it is the listing of which features each version of VS 2010 contain.
From above link. There is no resource editor in the Express Version.
This link discusses a way to add a resource editor to Visual Studio Express.
Also take a look at this MSDN Forum Link It has some tips and links to external editors.
