Create resource file and compile it as DLL

[Maileen]

Hi,

I would like to do like in C++ (i already did it several times) a
language DLL.
for that in C++, i've created a resource DLL where all translations are
saved as string resource.
after, i compile this RES file as DLL.

But how to do these 2 steps in VB.NET ?
thanks a lot,
Maileen

RES files (Win32 resources) are not used any more.

First, I suggest to read the chapters about internationalization of .NET
applications:
