What is cvtres.exe?

Tags:

c#

.net

csc

When I'm using aspnet_compiler.exe to pre-compile my website, I see a cvtres.exe process along with csc.exe. I'm assuming this is part of the .NET compilation process, and would also show when compiling my .NET assemblies. What is cvtres.exe and what does it do?

Windows Resource to Object Converter (CvtRes.exe) (from here)

As to what it does, well... I guess that it converts Resources to Objects.

Edit: As Scott says,

to be more specific, it is part of the C++ toolchain to turn resource files (.res) in to compiled objects that can be linked using the linker.

I was looking for something official that explains it, but the best I could find is an old support article that mentions it. Hope it helps!
