Question : How to keep Visual Studio 2008 from trashing conditional code in my C/C++ Resource File?

Below is an example of some conditional code I am trying to include in my C/C++ Resource file. However, any time I change something about Resource from Visual Studio, it completely overwrites the Resource file, including my conditional code.

Is there a way to keep the conditional code in the Resource file and still maintain it with Visual Studio, or do I have to manually maintain the Resource file?

Thanks.
