Remarks

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 add the ResXFileRef object to a .resx file by calling the ResXResourceWriter.AddResource(ResXDataNode) method.

In a data entry in a .resx file, the type is ResXFileRef, and the value is the path location on disk. When the resource manager deserializes the object, the ResXFileRef 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 ResXFileRef object to a .resx file programmatically, you call the ResXDataNode.ResXDataNode(String, ResXFileRef) constructor to instantiate a ResXDataNode object. You then pass this ResXDataNode object to the ResXResourceWriter.AddResource 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.
