[Visual Basic] NotInheritable Public Class ResourceWriter Implements IResourceWriter, IDisposable [C#] public sealed class ResourceWriter : IResourceWriter, IDisposable [C++] public __gc __sealed class ResourceWriter : public IResourceWriter, IDisposable [JScript] public class ResourceWriter implements IResourceWriter, IDisposable
Thread Safety
Any public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are thread safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.
Remarks
ResourceWriter provides a default implementation of the IResourceWriter interface.
Resources are specified as name and value pairs using the AddResource method. Resource names are case-sensitive when used for lookups, but to more easily support authoring tools and help eliminate bugs, ResourceWriter will not allow a .resources file to have names that vary only by case.
To create a resources file, create a ResourceWriter with a unique file name, call AddResource at least once, call Generate to write the resources file to disk, and then call Close to close the file. Calling Close will implicitly Generate the file if required.
The resources will not necessarily be written in the same order they were added.
Example
[Visual Basic, C#, C++] The following example writes several strings into the myResources.resources file.
[Visual Basic] Imports System Imports System.Resources Public Class WriteResources Public Shared Sub Main() ' Creates a resource writer. Dim writer As New ResourceWriter("myResources.resources") ' Adds resources to the resource writer. writer.AddResource("String 1", "First String") writer.AddResource("String 2", "Second String") writer.AddResource("String 3", "Third String") ' Writes the resources to the file or stream, and closes it. writer.Close() End Sub End Class [C#] using System; using System.Resources; public class WriteResources { public static void Main(string[] args) { // Creates a resource writer. IResourceWriter writer = new ResourceWriter("myResources.resources"); // Adds resources to the resource writer. writer.AddResource("String 1", "First String"); writer.AddResource("String 2", "Second String"); writer.AddResource("String 3", "Third String"); // Writes the resources to the file or stream, and closes it. writer.Close(); } } [C++] using namespace System; using namespace System::Resources; int main() { // Creates a resource writer. IResourceWriter* writer = new ResourceWriter(S"myResources.resources"); // Adds resources to the resource writer. writer->AddResource(S"String 1", S"First String"); writer->AddResource(S"String 2", S"Second String"); writer->AddResource(S"String 3", S"Third String"); // Writes the resources to the file or stream, and closes it. writer->Close(); }
