Could not load file or assembly … or one of its dependencies. An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format (.resx file)

This appears to be a VS 2010 bug with image lists. See https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/532584/error-when-compiling-resx-file-seems-related-to-beta2-bug-5252020?wa=wsignin1.0

I was able to utilize the workaround listed to get it to work for me.

I’ve found the same problem, only for a specific project when compiling on a 64-bit machine. A fix that SEEMS to work is to manually alter one character in the image stream EVERY TIME the usercontrol or form is edited in the designer

Change to
     AAEAAAD/////AQAAAAAAAAAMAgAAAFdTeXN0ZW0uV2luZG93cy5Gb3JtcywgVmVyc2lvbj0yLjAuMC4w

That is 00LjAuMC4w back to 0yLjAuMC4w at the end of the line (00 back to 0y)
