Whenever i try to add new resource file(.png) to my custom package, it is adding one extra line to my .dpk file
and that is - 
{$R *.dres}

I dont know why this is getting added. Previously this line was not getting added only {$R *.res} was there.

Please help me in the same if someone have an idea.

Then I think you should describe exactly
- Delphi version
- Type of resource (earlier you said .png image)
- Exact steps (menu item, selected option, selected file, everything)

Anyway, AFAIK there is no option that would change the behaviour of what I described in previous
message.

No No!!!
I have created many packages and added many resources as well. 
I did not face this before, i am having doubt that may be somehow i have changed some setting but no idea.

Just checked with D2010 (which is the oldest RAD Studio installed on this machine).
It behaves exactly the same as DXE7. 
When you select Project - Add to project (or right click project in Project Manager and select Add
....) you get a file selection dialog. If you then select Resouces from the file type dropdown and
select a .png file and click Open the following happens:
- {$R *.dres} is added to the project file (.dpr or .dpk)
- A reference to the .png file is added to the Project tree in Project Manager.

Maybe you just did not notice this before?

But I have not used "Resources and Images" feature of the IDE.
I have right clicked on package and added the resource using "Add".
I used to add resources same way and i did not get this line and entry before.

Oh, I don't think you need to be worried about that.

I can't answer that without any details.
But really, there's nothing to be worried about.

Thank you for reply.

I dont know it is problem or not but not only adding line to .dpk but also adding one entry into Project Manager.
My main problem is that if it is not a problem then previously also i have added respources to packages many time then why this entry did not get added that time.

A .dres file is a "Delphi compiled resource file".  It is related to the 
"Resources and Images" feature of the IDE.

But why is it a problem, that the line is added?
Look in documentation:
http://docwiki.embarcadero.com/RADStudio/XE4/en/File_Extensions_of_Files_Generated_by_RAD_Studio

dres
Delphi compiled resource file. This extension is used when you add a resource to a project, such as
an icon or image. The .dres file is only used at link time.
