Sample: Web resource utility

Manually creating Web resources one at a time using the customization tools can take a long time when you have to create many files. The Web Resource Utility is a WPF application project that you can compile and run to import many Web Resource eligible files from a folder structure with a consistent naming convention based on the folder structure.
