Hi,

I just created an FAQ page because this question comes up a lot.

Hope it helps,

Joe

Re: CS0101: The namespace 'Resources' already contains a definition for 'LinkResources'

I have been succesfully running mojoPortal for the past several weeks on my Windows Vista x64 SP1 machine using VS 2008 SP1.  Today I upgraded to Vista SP2 and I started seeing the following upon startup of mojoPortal.

Compiler Error Message: CS0101: The namespace 'Resources' already contains a definition for 'GalleryResources'

 

Your FAQ and other posts seem to elude that the problem is caused from some old OS level or .NET version, or even a missing patch.

I was able to delete all the *.zh-hant.resx and get around the problem.  Just wanted to let you know what I experienced.

 

Thanks,

Re: CS0101: The namespace 'Resources' already contains a definition for 'LinkResources'

Hi,

I'm not surprised to start getting reports like this.

I have updated the FAQ entry. Apparently something has changed in ASP.NET, when I submitted my latest release to update our version on the Microsoft Web App Gallery,  I was advised by the IIS team to rename all the .zh-Hant.resx files back to the old ISO name .zh-CHT.resx because of some performance problem in ASP.NET runtime with using zh-Hant. They said this renaming back to the old names was a "workaround" that would be supported in all future versions. So going forward our packages will no longer include zh-Hant files, they have already been renamed in our svn trunk and in the current mssqlreleasefiles package for version 2.3.0.1 (because this is the package submitted to the gallery).

Best,

Joe

Re: CS0101: The namespace 'Resources' already contains a definition for 'LinkResources'

Joe,

Thank you for posting this FAQ. I ran into the same problem since installing SP2 onto W2K8. I was able to track it to SP2 by de-installing it and the portal was back. Re-applying of SP2 brought the problem back again.

I did then some googling and I found another post re language issues which mentions to have all .resx files in their own language subdirectory except the default one. This approach did not fix the problem.
After that I found your post and I just deleted the ch-hant directory with it's content and from that point onwards the portal is back.

My questions I have now are as follows:
- is it worth to keep all language dependant .resx files in their directory or move them back to the top App_GlobalResources dir?
- will their be any performance issue?

Thank you
Juerg

I don't see any problem keeping them in App_GlobalResources, I think you should put them back there else you will have duplicates when you upgrade and new ones land in App_GlobalResources with the same name as files you have in other locations.

Best,

Joe
