I've got a lot of .resources files, that I need to open up and view. I downloaded Zeta Resource Editor but it only works with .Resx files. Is there a difference? Can I open .Resources files and extract its contents?
A . resx file contains a standard set of header information that describes the format of the resource entries, and specifies the versioning information for the XML code that parses the data. These files contain all the strings, labels, captions, and titles for all text in the three IBM Cognos Office components.
Open a . resx file in the XML (Text) editor. Press Ctrl+Alt+F or choose ReSharper | Windows | File Structure from the main menu . Alternatively, you can press Ctrl+Shift+A , start typing the command name in the popup, and then choose it there.
resx) files are a monolingual file format used in Microsoft . Net Applications. The . resx resource file format consists of XML entries, which specify objects and strings inside XML tags.
You could always use the resgen.exe utility from visual studio to convert them into .resx files (the opposite of what happens during compilation):
resgen.exe /compile input.resources,output.resx
Resgen is often found at C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0\Bin\ResGen.exe, or directly accessible from the VS command prompt.
I think resx
file contains the non-compiled
resources in XML based format. These resx
files are compiled into .resource
file. So .resource
file contains resx
data in binary
format.
According to MSDN
The .resx (XML-based resource format) files are converted in to common language runtime binary .resources files that can be embedded in a runtime binary executable or compiled into satellite assemblies.
