Managed resources

Question

In visual studio 2005 when I compile my project cli/c++ project, I use to have a resource file under the $(ConfigurationName)\fr\$(ProjectName).resources.dll.  Now with Visual Studio 2010 Beta2 I do not have those resources file anymore.  Anyone have a Idea of where or how I could generate them, for translation purpose.

Answer 1

In VS2010, the resource file name is changed to $(Projectname).<the name of the resource file>.dll, However the Resource Logical name (the name that will be passed to linker /ASSEMBLYRESOURCE switch is still $(ProjectName).Resources.dll unless you change the property Managed Resources -> General -> Resource Logical Name.

Oh, I see. I did change the property as you mentioned. Do you mean I can use both the names ?

Answer 3

Resource Logical name is used by linker and it is name used for loading the resources. Resource name is the output of the resource name. You can take a look of this MSDN link: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/zk4x065k.aspx. Hope this wlll help.
