ArcGIS Engine Controls VS2010 64bit OS

Question

Hello All:

Anyone able to get an engine map control application to build and run with 64-bit OS and Visual Studio 2010?  First I got an "incorrect format" error when trying to build which lead me to this article:  http://resources.arcgis.com/content/kbase?fa=articleShow&d=37879.

I added the xml to the project file and the project will build but the application won't debug or run (if exe is clicked directly).  I haven't tried the manual steps from MS yet but that appears to make a constant change so I'd have to undo/redo it every time I switched projects.

I'm usually one of the most pro-ESRI people out there, but honestly as a developer, v10 is not working for me... which is too bad I was excited to see progress from a development standpoint and it appears ESRI is trying to make it harder for developers to create ArcObjects based solutions.

just switching to base32 didn't work for me. it allowed me to compile and run but it fundamentally changed my application, moving things around and messing up my toolbars.

try this:
right click on the offending .resx file in Visual Studio and select 'View Code'.
replace the base64 resource entry type definition with base32. 
recompile.

Oh yeah!  This one worked well.  As always, the developer community comes to the rescue!  Thanks again
