John,
This is a very old code snippet, but it may help:
static void createResource()
{
// you could load your text file here and use that----
//using ResourceWriter allows us to write to binary *.resources files
ResourceWriter rw =new ResourceWriter('MyMessages.resources');
// add our string resources with name, value
rw.AddResource('1', 'Signs point to yes.');
rw.AddResource('2', 'Yes.');
rw.AddResource('3', 'Reply hazy, try again. ');
rw.AddResource('4', 'Without a doubt. ');
rw.AddResource('5', 'My sources say no. ');
rw.AddResource('6', 'As I see it, yes. ');
rw.AddResource('7', 'You may rely on it.');
rw.AddResource('8', 'Concentrate and ask again. ');
rw.AddResource('9', 'Outlook not so good. ');
rw.AddResource('10', 'It is decidedly so. ');
rw.AddResource('11', 'Better not tell you now.');
rw.AddResource('12', 'Very doubtful. ');
rw.AddResource('13', 'Yes - definitely. ');
rw.AddResource('14', 'It is certain.');
rw.AddResource('15', 'Cannot predict now.');
rw.AddResource('16', 'Most likely.');
rw.AddResource('17', 'Ask again later.');
rw.AddResource('18', 'My reply is no.');
rw.AddResource('19', 'Outlook good.');
rw.AddResource('20', 'Don't count on it.');
rw.AddResource('21', 'Ask again later');
rw.AddResource('22', 'Ask more later');
rw.AddResource('23', 'Reply meainingless, ask again later');
rw.AddResource('24', 'Should not predict now');
rw.AddResource('25', 'More information later');
rw.AddResource('26', 'Out to Lunch');
rw.AddResource('27', 'Closed on Sundays');
rw.AddResource('28', 'No chance in Hell');
rw.AddResource('29', 'Do you have capslock on?');
rw.AddResource('30', 'Did you log on to the domain?');
rw.AddResource('31', 'What mail server are you using?');
rw.AddResource('32', 'Have you tried rebooting?');
rw.AddResource('33', 'Can you ping that server?');
rw.AddResource('34', 'Is it plugged in?');
rw.AddResource('35', 'Is the network light on at all?');
rw.AddResource('36', 'What's your port number?');
rw.AddResource('37', 'Did you leave your PC unlocked?');
//generate the resource
rw.Generate();
//close the resource file
rw.Close();
}
}

Hi there,
Does anyone know how to add '.txt' resources file to a C# project in Visual
Studio. It should compile down to an embedded '.resources' file the same way
as a '.resx' file. Thanks.
