This question has already been answered:

After editing the Resources \ Strings.resx in Visual Studio, an extra Strings1.Designer.cs appears

Resources\ Strings.resx Strings.Designer.cs Strings1.Designer.cs

After this, the project does not start.

It is necessary every time after editing the translation Strings.resx to delete Strings1.Designer.cs.

What is the problem?

When this happens, the second Compile Include is created.

  <Compile Include="Resources\Strings.Designer.cs"> <AutoGen>True</AutoGen> <DesignTime>True</DesignTime> <DependentUpon>Strings.resx</DependentUpon> </Compile> <Compile Include="Resources\Strings1.Designer.cs"> <AutoGen>True</AutoGen> <DesignTime>True</DesignTime> <DependentUpon>Strings.resx</DependentUpon> </Compile> <EmbeddedResource Include="Resources\Strings.resx"> <Generator>ResXFileCodeGenerator</Generator> <LastGenOutput>Strings1.Designer.cs</LastGenOutput> </EmbeddedResource>

Check what is contained in the project file (.csproj)

If the LastGenOutput tag indicates Resources1, for example:

 <EmbeddedResource Include="Resources\Resources.resx"> <Generator>ResXFileCodeGenerator</Generator> <LastGenOutput>Resources1.Designer.cs</LastGenOutput> </EmbeddedResource>

Then remove the unit:

 <EmbeddedResource Include="Resources\Resources.resx"> <Generator>ResXFileCodeGenerator</Generator> <LastGenOutput>Resources.Designer.cs</LastGenOutput> </EmbeddedResource>
