Hi all,

I want to centralize my localized strings in an external assembly but still
want to benefit from the new intellisense feature of VS2005.

So I create a new class library project names 'MyStrings' and add a new
resource file named 'Glossary.resx' to it. I add some strings and
automatically ResXFileCodeGenerator generates a csharp file named
'Glossary.Design.cs'. This file contains a class named 'Glossary' that
provides me with a property for each of the strings. So far so good: I now
have intellisense everywhere inside the class library project.

Next I create a new Win Forms Application and set a reference to
'MyStrings.dll'. Here comes the problem: I cannot access the 'Glossary'
class defined in MyString.dll. The reason is simple: ResXFileCodeGenerator
made this class internal !

My question : Do you know a way to make ResXFileCodeGenerator generate a
public class instead? Is it configurable?

I want to draw your attention to the fact that ResGen has a command line
parameter for this:
eg: ResGen.exe glossary.resx /str:c# /publicClass generates exactly the same
code as ResXFileCodeGenerator except that the class is public ;-)

Thanks in advance for any clues

Regards
