• Visual Studio Changing default behaviour of GenerateResource

  Hi, The strongly typed resource class that's automatically generated by the designer from the .resx file results a in a class that's internal, whereas I'd like it to be public.  The background to this is in a message I posted earlier today: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=187755&SiteID=1 It seems the problem should be solvable by customizing the build process somehow.  This is what I've tried so far: 1) Modified GenerateResource task in the Microsoft.Common.Targets file so that PublicClass="true".  Doesn't work--generated class is still internal.  2) Changed the Build Action of the ...Show All

• .NET Development app.config xsd. (Invalid schema elements)
