ResourceSet Class

Stores all the resources localized for one particular culture, ignoring all other cultures, including any fallback rules.

Namespace: System.Resources
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration)

<SerializableAttribute> _
<ComVisibleAttribute(True)> _
Public Class ResourceSet _
    Implements IDisposable, IEnumerable

Visual Basic (Usage)

Dim instance As ResourceSet

[SerializableAttribute]
[ComVisibleAttribute(true)]
public class ResourceSet : IDisposable, 
    IEnumerable

Visual C++

[SerializableAttribute]
[ComVisibleAttribute(true)]
public ref class ResourceSet : IDisposable, 
    IEnumerable

JScript

public class ResourceSet implements IDisposable, IEnumerable

Remarks

The ResourceSet class enumerates over an IResourceReader, loading every name and value, and storing them in a Hashtable. A custom IResourceReader can be used.

See Encoding and Localization for details on the default resource file format.

Notes to Inheritors:

Derived classes of ResourceSet using their own resource reader and writer should override GetDefaultReader, and GetDefaultWriter, to provide the appropriate functionality for interpreting the ResourceSet.
