Resource File Manipulation

dotnet internationalization:

I have used ResourceWriter and ResourceReader for writing a reading resource
files.

What I want to know is, can I open a resource file in "Append" mode so that
I can read entries from it and add new entries that don't yet exist ?

Or will I have to open a ResourceReader, read and save all the entries in
some collection, then use a ResourceWriter to write these plus any
additional entries to the same file name? Seems very inefficient ....

Jez,

You are correct. There is no Append mode. As you say, you have to read all
of the entries in and then add the new ones.

OK thanks Guy. I'm worried about performance for large numbers of big
resource files but if this is the only way then so be it !

Jez,

You will need to make a judgement here but if performance is the most
important issue then you could reject the ResourceReader/ResourceWriter
classes and code the solution another way. I wouldn't recommend this though
and I haven't found their performance warrants bypassing them.
