ResXResourceWriter -- dotnet sdk

Hi Walter

Thanks for your reply.

What I have done is to write a couple of functoids for date conversion of
values from difference countries in different formats for BizTalk Server 2004
that allow conversion of data based on parameters for formats and CultureInfo
to allow easier Globalization and re-use. The Resource Editor is not very
good with images in VS2003. I saw an article which suggested using
resedit.exe but any attempts to find this were doomed as well.

The book by Scott Woodgate "BizTalk Server 2004 Unleashed" on page 119
states quite plainly that resedit.exe is available in the Globalization SDK,
so I went looking. You know the outcome.

The functoids work just fine but they do not display their image. I want to
tidy up for those following me.

I have some code that uses the ResXResourceWriter and Image.FromFile that
base64 encode the binary value. I gave the Windows.Forms namespace the
merest glance and discarded it as a notion as this issue would seem to be
common to both Web and Windows. Wrong huh!

If you have any better suggestions I would be pleased to hear them.

Thanks

Again, part of the problem is based on me assuming a resource issue would be
generic and not BizTalk specific.

And yes, you and WenJun have hit the nail on the head.

For each functoid I have a separate cs file and I had 3 separate resource
files as you would with forms programming. However BizTalk expects just one
resource file for the project, and so for 3 functoids I got one with text and
the rest with nothing. All worked but it was difficult to distinguish
between them.

Thanks to you and WenJun for your help.

Hi Peter,

Water just pinged me to discuss your issue. So the problem is: in the 3
versions of your functoids, only 1 of them can load the text and image from
its own resource file successfully but others cannot. Do we misunderstand
anything here?

Also, now explicitly calling SetupResourceAssembly with separate resource
filename resolved the issue, right?

Please let us know if there is any problem still persists.

Have a great day!

Sincerely,

WenJun Zhang

Hi WenJun

Using just one resource file, and after deploying to the gac, results in me
being able to add the functoids to the IDE and see the appropriate text for
name, description and list of parameters etc for each functoid whereas before
when I had 3 resource files, only one appeared to be loaded with the
appropriate text and none had images.

I tried to also get it to load the bitmap for each functoid but that is not
working although that does not affect whether the functoids do what they are
supposed to. It would just be nicer if they used the proper images.

It would just be nice to get that part working as well, but the functoids
are doing what they are supposed to in the maps, so that is by no means
important. I have written a little routine that allows me to create a base64
char array based on the image binary and then pasted that data into the resx
xml file which I thought should have done the job but not so. I must still
be doing something wrong.

Next time if it involves BizTalk I'll post to your newsgroups directly.

Thanks for you help.

cheers
