Trying to supress resource warning in Visual Studio

Question

I want to suppress the "The resource name 'X.Y' is not a valid identifier" warnings in Visual Studio 2008.

I cannot find the warning number to supress it in the project's properties. Is there another way of achieving this, or better still, does anyone know the warning number?

Thanks :)

According to msdn, your deployment tool will generate a substitute for the file name of this resource.

To correct this error

You should first change the name of the resource to a valid identifier, if possible. If that is not a valid option, disable strongly typed resource code generation for this .resx file. To do this, select the .resx file in Solution Explorer and clear the Custom Tool property.
