Whats the difference between .Resx and .Resources file types?

Question

I\'ve got a lot of .resources files, that I need to open up and view. I downloaded Zeta Resource Editor but it only works with .Resx files. Is there a difference? Can I open .Re

Answer 1

I think resx file contains the non-compiled resources in XML based format. These resx files are compiled into .resource file. So .resource file contains resx data in binary format.

According to MSDN

The .resx (XML-based resource format) files are converted in to common language runtime binary .resources files that can be embedded in a runtime binary executable or compiled into satellite assemblies.
