I don't know but the IDE uses them. Each form has a resX file to hold misc things just like the frx files in VB6.
that's even more weird because it doesnt let the user to use a resx file. Hmm how can the ide use the resx file then :rolleyes:
The resx files are the meta data for .NET forms in human readable form (XML).
or as Microsoft puts it...
The primary goals of this format is to allow a simple XML format that is mostly human readable. The generation and parsing of the
various data types are done through the TypeConverter classes associated with the data types.
So what's the point of them? they are used as an input to ResGen.exe to generate the .resources files. No resx no resources!
