Hi all

found a helpful snippet (see below) about resx files on

ms-help://MS.VSCC/MS.MSDNVS/cpguide/html/cpconresourcesinresxfileformat.htm

- but when i try to put the code into a class in my web application it
can't find the ResXResourceWriter in System.Resouces.
Its there in the docs for all to see - but not in the code.

here's the snippet:

//////////////////////////////
using System;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Resources;

public class MainApp
{
   public static void Main()
   {
      Image img = Image.FromFile("en-AU.jpg");
      ResXResourceWriter rsxw = new ResXResourceWriter("en-AU.resx");
      rsxw.AddResource("en-AU.jpg",img);
      rsxw.Close();
   }

//////////////////////////////

any help very gratefully received
many thanks

Steven,

    The reason for this is because it is in the System.Windows.Forms
namespace.  So you need to put:

// Define shorthand for the System.Windows.Forms namespace.
using System.Windows.Forms;

    At the top of your file.  Also, you need to add a reference to
System.Windows.Forms.dll as well.

    Hope this helps.
