and here's the code for the five resources files. you have to compile them
first before using them using
resgen

news:62******** *************** ***********@mic rosoft.com... Hi,
I have a very good book on asp.net Sams ASP.NET Tips, Tutorials and Code
ISBN 0-672-32143-2 and is trying to teach myself from examples from this
book Chapter 16.
Anyway I come quite close when trying to run one example but then I get
this message I don't understand:
"This .resources file shouldn't be used with this reader. Your resource
reader type: System.Resource s.ResourceReade r, mscorlib,
Version=1.0.241 1.0, Culture=neutral , PublicKeyToken= b77a5c561934e08 9"
What does it mean?
Seems my english isn't good enough.
TIA
Kenneth P
