Inheritance

Object    ResXFileRef

The ResXFileRef class is used to include references to files in an XML resource (.resx) file. A ResXFileRef object represents a link to an external resource in an XML resource (.resx) file. You can add a ResXFileRef object to a .resx file programmatically by one of the following options:

• Call the ResXResourceWriter.AddResource(string, object) method where the second parameter is a ResXFileRef instance.
• Call the ResXResourceSet.SetObject(string, object) method where the second parameter is a ResXFileRef instance and then save the ResXResourceSet instance.
• Call the ResXResourceManager.SetObject(string, object, CultureInfo) method where the second parameter is a ResXFileRef instance and then save the ResXResourceManager instance.
• Call the HybridResourceManager.SetObject(string, object, CultureInfo) method where the second parameter is a ResXFileRef instance and then save the HybridResourceManager instance.
• Call the HybridResourceManager.SetObject(string, object, CultureInfo) method where the second parameter is a ResXFileRef instance and then save the DynamicResourceManager instance.

Comparison with System.Resources.ResXFileRef 

Incompatibility with System.Resources.ResXFileRef:

• The constructor is incompatible with System.Resources.ResXFileRef implementation. Unlike in system version you must specify the type by a Type instance instead of a string.

New features and improvements compared to System.Resources.ResXFileRef:

• Parsing – A string can be parsed to a ResXFileRef instance by Parse(String) and TryParse(String, ResXFileRef) methods.
