Overview:
ResXCop is a simple command line tool I use to enforce my no-binary-data-in-resx-files policy, among my dev team.
In its default mode, it simply warns of the presence of binary (base64) data
elements... in its aggressive mode (/v switch) it will remove those base64 elements,
and also back-port any CLR references it finds to the specified value. For example,
the /v=1.0.3300.0 switch is useful for preparing a build to target .NET v1.0.
For more information, see my accompanying blog entry on ResX files, localization, and down-level building.
Requirements:
- .NET Framework v1.1
History:
- v1.0
- Initial release.
Installation:
Simply copy ResXCop.exe into your %Path%, or wherever you
like, and you're good to go.
Usage:
ResXCop.exe <resxfile> [/v=1.0.3300.0] <resxfile> = the target ResX file to inspect, or clean
If no binary resources (base64 elements) are found, the return code will be zero. If one or more binary resources are found, or if any other errors occur, the return code will be non-zero.
