Hi ! I have a Windows form made in vs 2008, Framework 3.5. To my windows form i have added a menustrip and a statusstrip. Its all worked fine. I have added som png images and uses System.Resources to handle the images. It all started when i tried to change a image for a commandbutton. I deleted the image from Resources folder and the all the items in the MenuStrip and the StatusStrip where gone. In the designer.cs for my form the items are still there but the controls don´t find them. Here is the designers code and you can se the items. Now I have removed all the images from the Resources folder. How do i fix this. I don´t want to redo all the work. It´s happend before, and then I recreated all the controls, but I don´t want to do tha again. Som whats wrong and why does this happend.
