Hi Amr,

I assume you are referring to managed code. I couldn't repro your problem but please check if this is a C++ issue or could you repro it on VB.NET and C#.NET?

Save your project as Unicode. Select your project from the solution explorer and select the "File" menu select "save projname as". When you see the save dialog, choose the "save as type" to "unicode project". Make sure your rc file is unicode too.

No, it's a bug in VC 2005 resource editor saving that is fixed by SP1 (available in Beta right now)
