How do I create a Resources file for a Console Application?

Question

I'm trying to use an embedded resource in a console application, but apparently console applications don't come with a resource file automatically. How do I create a resources file for my console app?

Answer 1

The project template for a console mode application doesn't have pre-cooked Resources. You simply add it with Project + Properties, Resources tab, click the "Click here to create one" link. Take an hour and click around some more. This is all very discoverable but you have to take a look.
