RESX file overwriting in Form Designer

Hello,

I am just beginning using the .NET Framework and keep trying to put a string into the resx file associated with the form. That works fine unless I make a change to the form and the designer seems to overwrite the whole resource file, thus erasing my strings. Is there any way to protect the strings I put in from the designer overwriting them? Thanks.
 
VS.NET manages a resx file for every form you create with the designer. If
you need your own resources not directly related to your forms you should
add your own resx file to your project. If the resource *is* related to your
form, you should use the VS.NET form designer to set the value for the
resource rather than editing it yourself.

HTH,
