John,
This is a very old code snippet, but it may help:
static void createResource()
{
// you could load your text file here and use that----
//using ResourceWriter allows us to write to binary *.resources files
ResourceWriter rw =new ResourceWriter("MyMessages.resources");
// add our string resources with name, value
rw.AddResource("1", "Signs point to yes.");
rw.AddResource("2", "Yes.");
rw.AddResource("3", "Reply hazy, try again. ");
rw.AddResource("4", "Without a doubt. ");
rw.AddResource("5", "My sources say no. ");
rw.AddResource("6", "As I see it, yes. ");
rw.AddResource("7", "You may rely on it.");
rw.AddResource("8", "Concentrate and ask again. ");
rw.AddResource("9", "Outlook not so good. ");
rw.AddResource("10", "It is decidedly so. ");
rw.AddResource("11", "Better not tell you now.");
rw.AddResource("12", "Very doubtful. ");
rw.AddResource("13", "Yes - definitely. ");
rw.AddResource("14", "It is certain.");
rw.AddResource("15", "Cannot predict now.");
rw.AddResource("16", "Most likely.");
rw.AddResource("17", "Ask again later.");
rw.AddResource("18", "My reply is no.");
rw.AddResource("19", "Outlook good.");
rw.AddResource("20", "Don't count on it.");
rw.AddResource("21", "Ask again later");
rw.AddResource("22", "Ask more later");
rw.AddResource("23", "Reply meainingless, ask again later");
rw.AddResource("24", "Should not predict now");
rw.AddResource("25", "More information later");
rw.AddResource("26", "Out to Lunch");
rw.AddResource("27", "Closed on Sundays");
rw.AddResource("28", "No chance in Hell");
rw.AddResource("29", "Do you have capslock on?");
rw.AddResource("30", "Did you log on to the domain?");
rw.AddResource("31", "What mail server are you using?");
rw.AddResource("32", "Have you tried rebooting?");
rw.AddResource("33", "Can you ping that server?");
rw.AddResource("34", "Is it plugged in?");
rw.AddResource("35", "Is the network light on at all?");
rw.AddResource("36", "What's your port number?");
rw.AddResource("37", "Did you leave your PC unlocked?");
//generate the resource
rw.Generate();
//close the resource file
rw.Close();
}
}

Hi there,
Does anyone know how to add ".txt" resources file to a C# project in Visual
Studio. It should compile down to an embedded ".resources" file the same way
as a ".resx" file. Thanks.
