LocBaml Tool Sample
This example demonstrates how to use the LocBaml Tool to parse input files to create localizable resources and generate a localized binary. The C# files build the tool and the Extensible Application Markup Language (XAML) files build a dynamic-link library (DLL) to use as input for the LocBaml tool. For information on how to use the tool see:How to: Localize an Application
