I'm attempting to create a resource in Visual Studio 2010 which I will use to create a custom dialog box. Microsoft gives these steps:

However there is no "Resource File" option in the Add New item dialog. There is, however, an "Add Resource..." menu item in the Project menu. However, this item is dimmed out. Why is it dimmed out? How can I get it to be available?

    Are you using an Express edition or a full edition? I don't think the Express editions of Visual Studio include the resource editor. – Matthew Strawbridge Nov 21 '11 at 19:08
  • Given that the Professional edition is over $600, is there some other way to create resources? I simply want to create a dialog box for the user to type in their name for a high score. Simple enough. Not something that should cost $600. :-/ – Vern Jensen Nov 23 '11 at 22:10
