Resource File (.resx) does not show changes??

[al]

Hi,

I use a resource file (.resx) to store user's settings such as
language and other strings. The problem i'm facing is that when the
user changes one of the strings in the resource file, those changes
are shown by VB.NET untill after the user reloads the app.

Is there any work-around for this behavior so changes can appear
without relaoding the app??

Thanks,
Grawsha

Hi

Are you using ResXResourceReader class for reading resource file. If not try
that class for reading resource file. You can edit the resx file when you run
the application. You dont need to restart the application to read the
modified entries.

Hi

Create the resource file (You can create the resource file by 1. Assign the
keys and values in a text file save the same. 2 using the RESGEN.EXE you can
create the .Resx or .resources file from this text file)

Add the resource file to the project

Code for Listing the keys and values of Resource file:

Dim rsxr As ResXResourceReader
rsxr = New ResXResourceReader("..\txtResource.resx") ' Tha path of resource
file
Dim d As DictionaryEntry
For Each d In rsxr
MessageBox.Show(String.Format("{0}: {1}", d.Key.ToString(),
d.Value.ToString()))
Next d

rsxr.Close()'Close the reader.

Hope this will help you
