Dialogs as resource files

[harpreets77]

Hi,

In C# while creating a windows form, code is added to the .cs file which details out the creation procedure for controls .

Now through some setting is it possible to have the form as a resource file or an XML file. Which still details out the entire creation procedure.

Regards,
Harpreet

Sort-of.

In .NET, forms are classes, and their layout and appearance is set through code, not a .res file. So you could define an assembly to be a "resource" for your application, and in fact that's how Microsoft does it -- each form that is localized for a particular language is placed in a directory with the name of the locale (en-us, fr-ca, etc). The framework then knows to load that form based on the current thread/processes (I forget which) locale setting.
