System.Windows.Forms 1.0.5000.0 2.0.0.0 System.Object System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter(typeof(System.Resources.ResXFileRef+Converter)) The class is used to include references to files in an XML resource (.resx) file. A object represents a link to an external resource in an XML resource (.resx) file. You add the object to a .resx file by calling the method. In a data entry in a .resx file, the type is , and the value is the path location on disk. When the resource manager deserializes the object, the performs the I/O to get the file. The following is an example of a .resx file. <data name="iconclip" type="System.Resources.ResXFileRef, System.Windows.Forms"> <value>lookout.bmp;System.Drawing.Bitmap, System.Drawing</value> </data> <data name="mailbackground" type="System.Resources.ResXFileRef, System.Windows.Forms"> <value>mailbackground.bmp;System.Drawing.Bitmap, System.Drawing</value> </data> <data name="xplogo" type="System.Resources.ResXFileRef, System.Windows.Forms"> <value>xplogo.png;System.Drawing.Bitmap, System.Drawing</value> </data> To add a object to a .resx file programmatically, you call the constructor to instantiate a object. You then pass this object to the method. When you compile a .resx file with Resgen.exe (Resource File Generator), the resources specified in the .resx file are embedded in the resulting document resource file. Represents a link to an external resource. Constructor The type referred to by the parameter must support a public constructor that accepts a object as a parameter.
