Resource1.Designer.cs not craeted correctly?

Hi All,

I want to add aResource1.resx to my project.

When i build though the"Resource1.Designer.cs" file is not a child of the"Resource1.resx" file & the created project doesn't compile.

I end up with...
Resource1.Designer.cs
Resource1.resx

How can i get GAT to make the resources files correctly. i.e...

Resource1.resx
Resource1.Designer.cs (child ofResource1.resx)

Thanks,
Ken

Hi Ken,

I'm not sure if GAT is your solution. Do you want to create a Guidance Package, then create your own command, to create a Resource file programatically? or you just want to resolve the nested files issue?

I just wanted to add a static resource file to a project generated by GAT. Just nesting was theissue.

I figured it out...

inWindowsApplication.csproj...

<EmbeddedResource Include="Properties\Resources.resx">
<Generator>ResXFileCodeGenerator</Generator>
<LastGenOutput>Resources.Designer.cs</LastGenOutput>
<SubType>Designer</SubType>
</EmbeddedResource>
<Compile Include="Properties\Resources.Designer.cs">
<AutoGen>True</AutoGen>
<DependentUpon>Resources.resx</DependentUpon>
</Compile>

WindowsApplication.vstemplate...

<ProjectItem>Properties\Resources.resx</ProjectItem>
<ProjectItem ReplaceParameters="true" TargetFileName="Resources.Designer.cs">Properties\Resources.Designer.cs</ProjectItem>

cheers,
Ken
