.NET resource editor

The .NET resource editor is similar to the VCL resource editor. It is displayed on the Resource tab too. You can use the editor to modify resource data directly. This can be useful if a resource has a property, which cannot be modified in the form designer or the property inspector. Direct editing of resource data also helps when a resource cannot be represented visually.

The resource editor has these columns:

  • Status – status of an object in a localization project (R, A, U)
  • Components/Properties – tree of resource objects
  • Type – type of an object
  • Original – property value in an original file
  • Translation – localized property value
The .NET resource editor cannot insert new data to a resource. However it can delete properties and components, which have been added to a resource by the form designer. You can do the latter by using the Delete option from the context menu (added objects are labeled as A or U).
