ResGen is a resource file generator utility that reads text files containing name/value pairs and produces a NGWS runtime binary “.resources” file.
Lines that begin with the character ‘#’ are assumed to be comments. Each name/value pair should be specified on a separate line as follows:
name=value
ResGen checks the text file for duplicate resource names.
ResGen filename [OutputFilename]
Argument | Description |
---|---|
filename | Name of the text file containing the name/value pairs of the resources. If Filename does not have the extension .txt, ResGen looks for a file name obtained by appending the string .txt to filename. |
OutputFilename | Name of the resource file to be created. If no name is given, resgen uses the name of the text file given in filename, appends a .resources extension, and writes the file to the directory containing filename. |
ResGen generates a binary “.resources” file that contains simple, name/value pairs that are read from a text file. To create more complex “.resource” files (containing, for example, bitmaps, windows, and icons) use the ResourceWriter class.
The following displays a description of the command and exits.
