SYMPTOMS

IDs that are used in MENUEX resources are converted to numeric values when you open the menu in the Visual C++ .NET menu editor. If you open the .rc file in Notepad, you should see the following:

IDR_MAINFRAME MENU 
BEGIN
    POPUP "&File"
    BEGIN
        MENUITEM "&New\tCtrl+N",                ID_VIEW_AUTOARRANGE
        MENUITEM "&Open...\tCtrl+O",            57601 <--numeric value
        MENUITEM "&Save\tCtrl+S",               ID_FILE_SAVE

RESOLUTION

A fix for this problem is available by downloading the latest Rcdll.dll file from the Platform SDK at http://www.microsoft.com/msdownload/platformsdk/sdkupdate/. The DLL is available by downloading the Build Environment in Core SDK under Windows SDK.

When you have installed the SDK, copy the Rcdll.dll file from C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDK\Bin\ to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET\Vc7\Bin. You must restart the Visual C++ .NET IDE, and then build your project again. The Rcdll.dll file should be the version specified in the following table (or later).
