For the project I'm currently working, I am creating resource files (.resx). I am using Resgen.exe and AL.exe to create .resource and .dll files. The Build Action for the .resx
files is set to "None".
The idea is to allow customers to provide their own localization if what we provide does not suit their needs.
The problem I'm having is that the .resource files are absolutely necessary in the delivered product. I was under the impression that the .resources.dll file be sufficient. Are the .resource files really needed in the finished product or am I doing something wrong?
EDIT: I have recently discovered that helper files were specifically looking for .resource files. I have modified the code to use the .dll, but now strings are not being returned. So now my question is "how do I access the .resources.dll to retrieve the strings?"
