I find it very frustrating that there is no obvious way to have the .resx
generator mark members as public instead of internal. In my team's solution, we
have a need for these to be public. Here's how I solved it:
Add a nant target that can do a
find/replace in a file (I don't know of a shell command that will do that)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!--EXTERNAL_PROPERTIES:
filename;stringToReplace;newString-->
<project name="BuildTasks" xmlns="http://nant.sf.net/release/0.85-rc4/nant.xsd">
<target name="FindReplace">
<move file="${filename}" tofile="${filename}.bak">
<filterchain>
<replacestring from="${stringToReplace}" to="${newString}" />
</filterchain>
</move>
<move file="${filename}.bak" tofile="${filename}"/>
</target>
</project>
pushd .
cd "$(ProjectDir)..\..\"
bin\nant\nant.exe -buildfile:buildtasks.build FindReplace -D:filename="$(ProjectDir)\Properties\Icons.Designer.cs" -D:stringToReplace=internal -D:newString=public
bin\nant\nant.exe -buildfile:buildtasks.build FindReplace -D:filename="$(ProjectDir)\Properties\ToolbarIcons.Designer.cs" -D:stringToReplace=internal -D:newString=public
popd
Compile as you normally would and
note the output:
------ Build started: Project: MyProject, Configuration: Debug Any CPU ------
