winforms and .resx files - 1.1 - $ appearing and .resx not linked?

Working on a handed off C# project and pretty much my third time dipping into
C#. In my solution file, I have a collection of .resx files in their own
folder, several .cs files, and my winforms .cs files. From what I understand
the .resx files house embedded resources, such as images and buttons texts.
When I open up my winforms however there is nothing there!

When I open up my winforms code behind, I see code such as:

this.$ = new Button();

and from what I am used to seeing it is supposed to be:

this.button1 = new System.Windows. Forms.Button();

Nothing is appearing on the form, it looks like the run of the mill blank
one when you create a new winforms project. The .resx files are in another
folder, so I try to replace those and still nothing appears on the form, the
..resx files before I replaced them were blank.

My question is, I believe that the link between the .resx and winforms file
is "lost" per se, because it doesn't have the programmtic name for the
buttons, text boxes etc. and looks like they have been replaced by a $ sign.

I might be completly wrong so am just looking for any advice. Any links to
tut's on the subject would be appreciated as well.

Thanks for looking, and TIA for any responses.

Hi all. I have an windows form application that will have multiple language ..resx files per form. Is there anyway I can bundle these .resx files into ONE .dll per form? If not, do you have any suggestions as to how these .resx files should be packaged with the application? Thanks in advance. - Lay

Apologies if this is the wrong ng for this question. If you remove a form .cpp/.h/.resx file from a project and add it to another one. The .h and .resx files aren't "linked" so you can't visually edit the form. Is there a way to manually link them? thanks JB

Hi all, I'm in a situation where I'd like to be able to programatically distiguish a standard resx file containing only strings from a WinForms resx file, that contains both strings and locations and sizes of controls etc. Is there any way to do this by inspecting the files? For example, is there an element that will always be part of a WinForms resx file?

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
