1. Why does Visual Studio 2008 started ignoring //{NO_DEPENDENCIES} in
resource.h? If I edit file "resource.h" _manually_, it rebuilds the
whole solution. It worked just fine with Visual Studio 2005.

2. Why does Visual Studio 2008 not allow having two resource files
(that use the same "resoure.h") open at the same time, when they are
in different projects of the same solution (localization resource-only
dll projects?) It worked just fine with Visual Studio 2005. In Visual
Studio 2008 "File is opened in another editor". WTF?

3. Are the rumors true, that the lead developer of the native resource
editor saved Bill Gate's life in the childhood, and that's why
microsoft will keep him no matter what? :-)

Kind regards, Nikolay.
 
if a resource project contains resources of multiple languages ie english.rc,
and spanish.rc, once user view resource in english.rc, user are no longer
able to view resource in english.rc.

the only way to solve this problem is to close the vs2008 and run it again,
or open resource.h in text editor and close it, then users are allowed to
edit resource in another language.
