Hi, i want to createdifferent editions of my application with a customized ui (replaced icons and some images).
I'd like to use the (embedded) resources as usual in designers and not load them by hand.

My idea was some kind of "ProEditionReplacementResource" directory and to somehow modify the build process to e.G. replace the original icon with the replacement icon if there is any. Can i accomplish that somehow with msbuild?

Hi Daniel,

I am not sure I understood you clearly, ifI misunderstood you, please let me know. Based on my understanding, you'd better create a COPY <task> to copy the resources file to target directory. For more informaiton, please see:

I have a pretty usual Resources.resx file with
- Build Action: Embedded Resource
- Custom Tool: ResXFileCodeGenerator

-> The icons, bitmaps etc. specified in the Resources.resx file get compiled & *embedded* into my library when i build.

Now i want somehow to redirect the files that get compiled by ResXFileCodeGeneratorto another set of files for s specific build configuration.


Resources.resx -> Compile -> ResXFileCodeGenerator(embeds files, [[[with Magic replacement]]])-> Embedded into MyLibrary.dll


If that is possible :)

Hi Daniel,

As far as I know, it is impossible to achieve thisbyMSBuild. As a walkaround, you can modify.rc file or replace theoriginal icon file with same name with MSBuild COPY task.
