Resources

Resources are .resx files with string values that we use for error messages and such. They live in src\<project>\resources folders.

At the moment dotnet cli doesn't support generating C# bindings (strongly typed resource files).

We are using our own Start-ResGen to generate them.

Usually it's called as part of the regular build with

Start-PSBuild -ResGen

Editing resx files

Don't edit resx files from Visual Studio. It will try to create .cs files for you and you will get whole bunch of hard-to-understand errors.

To edit resource file, use any plain text editor. Resource file is a simple xml, and it's easy to edit.

Add corresponding entries in Start-ResGen in .\build.psm1.
