Visual Studio Compile error The item "obj\Debug\SampleProject.Forms.MDIMain.resources" was specified more than once in the "Resources" parameter.

When merged develop branch to master branch it could happen that the project file contains repeating items. As result, compiling your visual studio project will have such compile error like:
The item "xxx" was specified more than once in the "Resources" parameter. Duplicate items are not supported by the "Resources" parameter.

The solution is easy:
1. Right click on your project and select "Unload the project"
2. Right click on your project and select "Edit YourProject.csproj"
3. Locate the repeating items and remove them.
4. Reload the project

Then these compile error will be resolved.
