In a project I am working on, it sounds like resource files are what I need
(to group things like error message strings).
If I put a resource file in a project, everything will work fine. However,
what I would like to be able to do is to put the resource files in a code
library of some sort (I am not sure if I am saying that correctly). From
reading some of the documentation (and some painful trial and error), I have
figured out how to make a public class with methods that expose the resources
(using the resgen and al utilities). Unfortunately, I have to compile these
components manually (which can be quite painful).
My question is whether or not there is a way to do this automatically in a
..NET project. The /publicClass switch is what does the trick but where would
I specify this switch in a project? Is it even possible? I have noticed
that the class I am expecting does get generated (or appears that way) but
all of the methods are marked as internal.
Any help will be most appreciated.
Thank you,
