Hi, I want to know what this form1.resx is all about. I read up this thread[http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-IE/Vsexpressvcs/thread/daf4be8a-5fb7-4c54-8152-b9afd340f4c4] and got to know more about the Program.cs(main() file), form1.cs(logical code) and form1.Designer.cs(UI related code) but not the form1.resx file. Is there any harm if I delete it. What is the purpose of the form1.resx file ??

Many Thanks

Solution 1

It holds resources such as images that are held by your form. If you open it with an XML editor you can see what it contains and decide if it's safe to delete.
