Method 1

If possible, change your Custom Tool back to the default “ResXFileCodeGenerator”.

I tried changing a default web app project to use “GlobalResourceProxyGenerator” and it caused the Access Modifier drop down to disable.

Method 2

1. Right click on your file resource, choose Properties (Alt+Enter)
2. Change Build Action to Embedded Resource
3. Change Custom Tool to PublicResXFileCodeGenerator

Now it works.
