Changing Resource files (resx) namespace and access modifier
c#, namespaces, resx, visual-studio-2008
Solution
The quick answer is: Just open the Properties of the resource file and change the `Custom Tool Namespace` to the namespace you need. Simple as that.
Problem
In my webproject I'm using 4 resources files in my `App_GlobalResources` folder. One of them (`lang.resx`) has been created before my arrival on the project. It has the correct namespace (`WebApplication.App_GlobalResources`) and access modifier : `public`. On the other hand, the three others Resource files that I just created have a different namespace (`Resources`) and `internal` access modifier, and I can't change it on the Resource File Form from Visual Studio because it's disabled. If I try to change it directly in the designer.cs file, the modifications are cancelled on the next save of the file. It's not a critical bug but it can be misleading for the others developers on the project to find different namespaces and access modifiers for the resources files they will use.
