toolbar creation fails for windows mobile 5 (pocketpc)

[Selçuk Cihan]

I have identified the source of error. The resource files seem to be
triggering the error. When i replaced the resources with minimal
sample's resource everything seemed fine. I have no experience with
resource files, all i know is they are used for icons etc ( i am not
sure if they are unique to ms visual studio ). so i will try to learn
about those resource files and then hopefully i can fix the error.
