This tab of the Generate Resource Files Action action specifies input and output files.
Input + output files: The names of one or more input and output files (required).
For input files, the extension must be one of the following:
| • | .txt: Specifies the extension for a text file to convert to a .resources or a .resx file. Text files can only contain string resources. |
| • | .resx: Specifies the extension for an XML-based resource file to convert to a .resources or a .txt file. |
| • | .resources: Specifies the extension for a resource file to convert to a .resx or a .txt file. |
Output filenames are optional when converting from a .txt or .resx file. You can specify the .resources extension when converting a text or .resx file to a .resources file. If you do not specify an output file, the action appends a .resources extension to the input filename argument and writes the file to the directory that contains filename.
The output filenames are required when converting from a .resources file. Specify the .resx extension when converting a .resources file to an XML-based resource file. Specify the .txt extension when converting a .resources file to a text file. You should only convert a .resources file to a .txt file when the .resources file contains only string values.
