How to create , Resources.resx and Application.myapp in vb.net 2005?

I recently see these things come along with vb.net sample code everywhere. Suppose I try to create new project and I want the , Resources.resx and Application.myapp appear under "My Project", how can I do that?

many thanks for reviewing.

Generated

is right: VB projects generate these files for you. If you do not see them, click Show All Files on the Solution Explorer toolbar; IDE‑generated files (like those under My Project) then appear. Also note that the My Project node is a special entry that opens the Project Designer, not a normal folder you add items into via right‑click. Show All Files explanation. My Project entry.

To create or surface each file:

On the Windows Service question: ’s hint is spot‑on. A Service1.resx appears only when the designer needs to persist resources or component design‑time data (for example, when you drop components onto the service surface). Visual Studio writes that data to a .resx for you; if you truly need one manually, add a Resource File named Service1.resx and let the ResXFileCodeGenerator create the strongly‑typed wrapper on build. Designer persistence to .resx and ResXFileCodeGenerator. Add a resource file in Visual Studio.

Quick check at runtime:

Dim title = My.Application.Info.Title
Dim sample = My.Resources.MyStringName

My.Application.Info. Using My.Resources.

Thank you, I just don't know how to create them and what they use for because when I start a newproject in VS2005, I got none of them seen even is missing in my solution explorer.

And "My Project" don't have anything so when I tried to create inside "My Project" treeview by right click I just got "open" option.

Have you got "Show All Files" clicked on the toolbar?

Member Avatar for Dummi

yes, I think that's my problem. Thank you.
And also I've another new thing for me to know, I just follow your guide.

I got some looks about windows service, when I create it it did appear as as it default name and there's also Service1.designer.vb. The sample program I have has Service1.resx. Ofcourse I don't know what it's used for, but I can't create the Service1.resx. Please tell me how to create it too.

The structure is like:

.................---->
.................---->Service1.resx

I just start learning how to use the editor, cause all I've learned just the algorithm and code but don't know how it was created.

Thanks

the .resx file will be created by Visual studio when and if you need it.

Member Avatar for Dummi

so I can't create the Service1.resx, only VS does it. Thanks
But How and when the Service1.resx created by VS?

I really appreciate your help. Thanks again

if you drag a component from your toolbox (like a dataset or a bindingsource, the resx file will be created. it's for storing reference to non textual information, i think
