Dear Sir,

I am using resources file to change the language of my Windows app, the problem is, when i compile it, the VS create a folder with only a file named "foo.resources.dll" for each language, like to this:
- /en_US/
- foo.resources.dll
- /es_ES/
- foo.resources.dll

How can i change resource filename and folder? i need create an structure similar to this:
- /Languages/
- en_US.dll
- es_ES.dll

Really appreciate your help!

As far as I can tell, if you want to do that you will have to add custom steps to build process to move the files at desired locations.

Also, in you application, you would need to write custom code to load and use the appropriate resources.

So in the end, it is a lot of effort for no benefits. The best solution is then to reconsider your requirements. Do you really want to invest extra time to do that while the default structure works perfectly well?

Why would you change that structure? One problem with your structure is that it assumes there is a single resources assembly...
