Application Resource Designer Now it's easier to create and manage strongly-typed resources for your project by using Resource Designer in Visual Studio 2005. Resource Designer is language-neutral and supports projects in all of the Visual Studio languages. Supported resource types include strings, images, icons, and audio files. Items added to a project using Resource Designer are placed in the project's resources directory. Information is stored in Resources.resx and code for the resource is stored in Resources.Designer.cs, .vb, or .jsl. For Visual C# and Visual J#, Resource Designer generates strongly-typed resources in the project folder's default namespace; for Visual Basic, strongly-typed resources are generated in the My.Resources namespace. You can also use Resource Designer to edit stand-alone .resx files.
