No Support for DLL's #20

Closed RealDotNetDave closed 1 year ago

RealDotNetDave commented 1 year ago

After learning how to use the toolkit, as many articles state, what I have done in the past is to put all the resources for a solution in a DLL assembly for reuse by any project. When I tried to Enable selection, I got the following message:

Project 'Globalization.Resources' was not enabled - it is not a supported project type.

Why can't I use the toolkit in a DLL? This is a great tool, but I cannot use it for projects like this.

The structure of DLLs is more complex compared to resource files. This makes parsing and regenerating them a very difficult task. Please consider using resx or resw instead.
