A strange resources problem in Visual Studio 2010

A strange problem in Visual Studio 2010 haunted us sometimes when working with a larger Visual Studio solution of about 30 projects. The symptom is that seemingly random attributes of visual components in designer generated files refer to resource strings defined in unrelated projects. The effect is that the project will not build any more. A quick solution is to delete the offending lines in the generated Designer.cs file (often this will be something like this.label1.BackgroundStyle.Class = "";) and saving the Designer.cs file separately. This, of course, becomes increasingly annoying.

Others have experienced similar problems as well.
