Visual Studio's Access Modifier drop down option is disabled for resource file

access-modifiers, asp.net, resx, visual-studio

Solution

If possible, change your Custom Tool back to the default "ResXFileCodeGenerator".

I tried changing a default web app project to use "GlobalResourceProxyGenerator" and it caused the Access Modifier drop down to disable.

Problem

Not sure why Access Modifier drop down is disabled for a Resource file. alt text http://img683.imageshack.us/img683/9157/accessmodifier.png Here are file properties: alt text http://img199.imageshack.us/img199/3930/resxprop.png
