I stumbled upon another possible reason of this error  If you use NTFS symbolic links in your project tree  and probably subst ed drives  you may get this error even if they point to your local drive  If this is the case  try to avoid the situation when  resx files are reached via symlinks

Although this is an older question  I spent several hours tracking down a way to handle this error when it applies to multiple files that are located in sub folders throughout the project    To fix this for all files within a project  Visual Studio -  Tools -  Options -  Trust Settings and add the project path as a trusted path

None of the above worked for me   This happened to me after I added a new button to a toolstrip on a winform   When the button uses the default image of System Drawing Bitmap  in image property  this error arose for me   After I changed it to a trusted image  one added to my resource file with  Unlock  option checked  this error resolved itself

If you downloaded the file from the internet  either separately or inside a  zip file or similar  it may have been  quot locked quot  because it is flagged as coming from the internet zone  Many programs will use this as a sign that the content should not be trusted  The simplest solution is to right-click the file in Windows Explorer  select Properties  and along the bottom of this dialog  you should have an  quot Unblock quot  option  Remember to click OK to accept the change  If you got the file from an archive  it is usually better to unblock the archive first  if the file is flagged as coming from the internet zone  and you unzip it  that flag might propagate to many of the files you just unarchived  If you unblock first  the unarchived files should be fine  There s also a Powershell command for this  Unblock-File   gt  Unblock-File    Additionally  there are ways to write code that will remove the lock as well  From the comments by  Defcon1  You can also combine Unblock-File with Get-ChildItem to create a pipeline that unblocks file recursively  Since Unblock-File has no way to find files recursively by itself  you have to use Get-ChildItem to do that part   gt  Get-ChildItem -Path   lt YOUR-SOLUTION-PATH gt   -Recurse   Unblock-File

If you are using OneDrive  or any similar network drive  you have 2 options    1  the easy one is to move the folder to a local directory inside your PC  eg   C     2  but if you want to keep using OneDrive I would recommend to add it to the trusted sites on the internet explorer options and that will fix the problem
