The ResXFileRef class is used to include references to files in an XML resource (.resx) file. A ResXFileRef object represents a link to an external resource. The resource manager loads the resource returned when the resource specified by the ResXFileRef object is queried.
In a data entry in a .resx file, the type is ResXFileRef, and the value is the path location on disk. When the resource manager deserializes the object, the ResXFileRef performs the I/O to get the file.
When you compile a .resx file with ResGen.exe, the resources specified in the .resx file are embedded in the resulting document resource file.
The following example shows typical contents of a .resx file.
<data name="iconclip" type="System.Resources.ResXFileRef, System.Windows.Forms"> <value>lookout.bmp;System.Drawing.Bitmap, System.Drawing</value> </data> <data name="mailbackground" type="System.Resources.ResXFileRef, System.Windows.Forms"> <value>mailbackground.bmp;System.Drawing.Bitmap, System.Drawing</value> </data> <data name="xplogo" type="System.Resources.ResXFileRef, System.Windows.Forms"> <value>xplogo.png;System.Drawing.Bitmap, System.Drawing</value> </data>
