Hello,

I'm working on the Text Editor Application in Chapter 6. I've finished coding up to page 205, however when I compile the application I recieve the following error:

Resources 'Form1.resx' and 'TextEditor.resx' have the same manifest resource name 'Text_Editor.TextEditor.resources'.

I have already changed the name of Form1.vb to TextEditor.vb as per pg. 193. What could be the problem?

Tim,

I've not heard of this error before. ANyone else out there ever run into this?

You might try searching Google for this error to see if you get any hits.

Hello,

Thanks for your help. I fixed the problem. Since the default name is Form1.vb, when it is renamed all resources associated should also have their names changed to reflect this automatically. I made a mistake when I renamed the file by forgetting the extention .vb so it screwed everything up. The solution: manually go into the project directory and rename the files yourself - SIMPLE!

Another question: A quote from page 215

To dismiss the dialog box you rely on functionality built into the Button control. When you drew the button onto the About form, you set its DialogResult property to OK. If the button is on a modal dialog box this tells it that when it's pressed that modal dialog should be closed and the value in DialogResult(in this case OK) should be passed back to the caller.

Who is the caller? Since everything in VB.net is an object, I would assume that since it is the toolbarHelpAbout object that triggers the About dialog box, this is the caller. Or is the caller the TextEditor form?

Tim,

The caller is whoever invoked the Show or ShowDialog method on the form where the button is defined.

For example, assume Form1 has the following code:

If frmAbout.ShowDialog(Me) = DialogResult.OK Then
...
End If

In this case Form1 is the caller since it invoked the ShowDialog method in the frmAbout form.
