Code to append to resource files

[Nick]

I am trying to add to existing resource files in vb code.
The code below seems to overwrite the resource file, even
though I use OpenOrCreate file mode.

Dim fs As New FileStream("c:\items.resources", _
FileMode.OpenOrCreate, FileAccess.Write)
Dim writer = New ResourceWriter(fs)
writer.AddResource("String 3", "Third String")
writer.Close()

I tried using filemode Append, but then it appends the
whole resource file, including the header info, which I
presume is incorrect.

Thanks,
Nick

Hi Nick,

Thanks for your post. .NET class library includes a class ResourceWriter
providing accesses to the resource file. Please refer to it in MSDN
documentation:

ResourceWriter Class

Please feel free to let mke now if you have any problems or concerns.

Have a nice day!
