Event that is triggered when a string from the resourcefile is loaded

Question

I want a custom version of my strings in resource file but I dont want to create it completly new because it's just for a short period of time.

Is there any way to trigger an event when my program calls Properties.Resources.MyString so I can manipulate it before it is shown to the user?

Answer 1

You can do that by changing Resources class (look at generated code), but the drawback is that this class is regenerated each time you add/change something in resources file. You can omit that problem by implementing your own generation tool, read this: Extended Strongly Typed Resource Generator
