Thanks a lot.

Thanks a lot. Resource files are specific to the development environment and OS, they have nothing to do with C++. They are what they say, resources. The often contain icons, strings, and version information. Fankly I hate them...too much in Windows programming is done with some stupid static string embedded in a resource file. There is a whole OS specific API for dealing with resources in all the languages you can code in. You need to see a windows specific newsgroup for more information on them.

Thanks a lot. Your question is specific to Visual C++, and as such, is off topic in this newsgroup, which is the dedicated C++ language as defined by the ISO standard. Microsoft has several newsgroups, dedicated to Visual C++. May I suggest trying microsoft.public.vc.ide_general For a general discussion of the IDE (the wizards and such are on-topic there as well).
