hi, im a newbie to game programming, im using visual studio express 2008 with dark GDK to try and create a game but when i try to add a new item, an image.png, i get a dialog box that says:
"A custom build rule to build files with extension ".png" could not be found. Would you like to create a new rule to define custom build rule to build files with this extension?"
can someone help with this and tell me how to create a custom build rule?
thanks.

yeah, im trying to add it to the project resources, which im used to doing when i program in java. i create a new folder to add any images but then when i have the project open in the IDE(eclipse or in this case vc++) i right click on the project to add the image so i can use it when i am coding the project.
But i guess from what morcilla posted, its not something i need to do with vc++, which could be the problem.
