Changing the Properties of a String

To change a string or its identifier

  1. Open the string table by double-clicking its icon in Resource View.

    Note

    If your project doesn't already contain an .rc file, please see Creating a New Resource Script File.

  2. Select the string you want to edit, and double-click the ID, Value, or Caption column. Now you can:

    • Select an ID from the ID drop-down list, or type an ID directly in place.

    • Type a different number in the Value column.

    • Type edits in the Caption column.

      Note

      You can also edit a string's properties in the Properties window.

For information on adding resources to managed projects (those that target the common language runtime), please see Resources in Applications in the .NET Framework Developer's Guide. For information on manually adding resource files to managed projects, accessing resources, displaying static resources, and assigning resources strings to properties, see Walkthrough: Localizing Windows Forms and Walkthrough: Using Resources for Localization with ASP.NET.
