Hello,

In VS2003, my Solution Explorer displayed a tree with only the .cs files
listed. Then when I clicked the "Show All Files" button, each .cs that is a
form would appear in the tree with a + beside it. Expanding that branch by
clicking the plus would then reveal the .resx file below.

In VS2005, "Show All Files" definitely shows and hides various files in each
assembly within the Solution Explorer. But it no longer shows and hides the
DependentUpon ResX relationship.

How do I configure the IDE to collapse the .cs/.resx combo into a single
Solution Explorer tree node?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Allan,

>longer shows and hides the DependentUpon ResX relationship.

Visual Studio 2005 will also show and hide the dependent .resx file just as
VS2003. But one difference here is VS2005 would not create the
corresponding localization resource file (.resx) by default. You need to
create that resx file at first.

In VS2005, for a Winform, just open the property sheet of that form, then
set the 'Design | Localizable' option to 'True'. For a web page, just
select the target web page in design view, then click 'Tools | Generate
Local Resource' to create that resx file at first.

I hope the above information helps, if you have any questions or concerns,
please do not hesitate to let me know. I am standing by to help you.

Thanks!

Hello Gary,

>>But it no longer shows and hides the DependentUpon ResX relationship.

This is what I was asking.
Makes me wonder why it went away. But at least I can stop searching for the
feature.

Thanks Gary.

I thought I was done with this thread.

However, I noticed the Pending Checkin pane still does collapse the .cs and
the .resx into a single node.

What is explantation for this discrepancy.
Why would it be one way in the Solution Explorer and another in the Pending
Checkins?

Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

Hi Ann,

I am afraid this behavior is by design, no particular reason for it. You
know the Pending Checkin window belongs to the source control part, it
seems designed by another team. :(

Thanks for your understanding!
