Recently I came across an error "Resource name can not be used more then once". Apart from this, error message was not showing any other information, not even line number, file name, nothing. Generally such errors came, when there is any duplicate key present in resource file, but in my case, I was not using any resource file also. So, there is no chance of duplicate keys also. I tried to hit my head many times for some online help, but no luck :(
One thing I noticed was, after building my solution (it was in VS2010) for 3-4 times continuously, error was thrown. Please note, I was just building the solution, without doing any modification in my code or in any of the files. Still I didn't get any clue.
So, finally I thought to remove one one project from my solution and build. Till 4-5 projects I removed and I didn't get any clue till yet. Suddenly I found that, Obj folder is added to my solution explorer. This obj folder holds all temporary files with few .resource files. Then I realize that, entire issue was due to this Obj folder, because whenever we build our solution, Visual Studio tries to create some files, and in my case these files were already part of that Obj folder.
Till now also, I am not sure, how that Obj folder get added to my solution explorer. Probably by mistake, I might have clicked on "include in project", as "Show all files" option was also enabled.
But finally, I was able to figure out the cause and thought to share it here.
Hope it will help you !!!
