'Perform the following steps to use this code example:
'
'Main assembly:
'1) In a main directory, create a file named "rmc.txt" that 
'contains the following resource strings:
'
'day=Friday
'year=2006
'holiday="Cinco de Mayo"
'
'2) Use the resgen.exe tool to generate the "rmc.resources" 
'resource file from the "rmc.txt" input file.
'
'> resgen rmc.txt
'
'Satellite Assembly:
'3) Create a subdirectory of the main directory and name the 
'subdirectory "es-ES", which is the culture name of the 
'satellite assembly.
'
'4) Create a file named "rmc.es-ES.txt" that contains the 
'following resource strings:
'
'day=Viernes
'year=2006
'holiday="Cinco de Mayo"
'
'5) Use the resgen.exe tool to generate the "rmc.es-ES.resources" 
'resource file from the "rmc.es-ES.txt" input file.
'
'> resgen rmc.es-ES.txt
'
'6) Use the al.exe tool to create a satellite assembly. If the 
'base name of the application is "rmc", the satellite assembly 
'name must be "rmc.resources.dll". Also, specify the culture, 
'which is es-ES.
'
'> al /embed:rmc.es-ES.resources /c:es-ES /out:rmc.resources.dll 
'
'7) Assume the filename for this code example is "rmc.vb". Compile 
'rmc.vb and embed the main assembly resource file, rmc.resources, in 
'the executable assembly, rmc.exe:
'
'>vbc /res:rmc.resources rmc.vb
'
'8) Execute rmc.exe, which obtains and displays the embedded 
'resource strings.

Perform the following steps to use this code example:

Main assembly:
1) In a main directory, create a file named "rmc.txt" that 
contains the following resource strings:

day=Friday
year=2006
holiday="Cinco de Mayo"

2) Use the resgen.exe tool to generate the "rmc.resources" 
resource file from the "rmc.txt" input file.

> resgen rmc.txt

Satellite Assembly:
3) Create a subdirectory of the main directory and name the 
subdirectory "es-ES", which is the culture name of the 
satellite assembly.

4) Create a file named "rmc.es-ES.txt" that contains the 
following resource strings:

day=Viernes
year=2006
holiday="Cinco de Mayo"

5) Use the resgen.exe tool to generate the "rmc.es-ES.resources" 
resource file from the "rmc.es-ES.txt" input file.

> resgen rmc.es-ES.txt

6) Use the al.exe tool to create a satellite assembly. If the 
base name of the application is "rmc", the satellite assembly 
name must be "rmc.resources.dll". Also, specify the culture, 
which is es-ES.

> al /embed:rmc.es-ES.resources /c:es-ES /out:rmc.resources.dll 

7) Assume the filename for this code example is "rmc.cs". Compile 
rmc.cs and embed the main assembly resource file, rmc.resources, in 
the executable assembly, rmc.exe:

>csc /res:rmc.resources rmc.cs

8) Execute rmc.exe, which obtains and displays the embedded 
resource strings.
