Moving a String from One Resource File to Another

Open the string tables in both .rc files. (For more information, see Viewing Resources in a Resource Script File Outside of a Project.)

Note

If your project doesn't already contain an .rc file, please see Creating a New Resource Script File.
Right-click the string you want to move and choose Cut from the shortcut menu.
Place the cursor in the target String Editor window.
In the .rc file to which you want to move the string, right-click and choose Paste from the shortcut menu.

Note

If the ID or value of the moved string conflicts with an existing ID or value in the destination file, either the ID or the value of the moved string changes. If a string exists with the same ID, the ID of the moved string changes. If a string exists with the same value, the value of the moved string changes.

For information on adding resources to managed projects (those that target the common language runtime), please see Resources in Applications in the .NET Framework Developer's Guide. For information on manually adding resource files to managed projects, accessing resources, displaying static resources, and assigning resources strings to properties, see Walkthrough: Localizing Windows Forms and Walkthrough: Using Resources for Localization with ASP.NET.
