    what are resx files used for

    You have to convert them to .resources files before you can use them in a project, so what's the point of having them at all?

    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.

    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!
