i am trying to add a list of values to my existing resource file
For example in my resource file i have key value pair like this....

"resourceTestKey1" - "resourceTestValue1"
"resourceTestKey2" - "resourceTestValue2"
"resourceTestKey3" - "resourceTestValue3"
"resourceTestKey4" - "resourceTestValue4"

Currently i am trying to add one more key value pair to my Resource File using below code

C#

System.Resources.ResXResourceWriter resWriter = new System.Resources.ResXResourceWriter(this.resourceFilePath);                                
resWriter.AddResource("resourceTestKey5","resourceTestValue5");

Now all my old resource file values are deleted..
and resource file contains only this entry "resourceTestKey5","resourceTestValue5"

How can i add a new resource key value pair by retaining the current values

Solution 1

To create a.resx file, create a ResXResourceWriter with a unique file name, call AddResource at least once, call Generate to write the resources file to disk, and then call Close to close the file. Calling Close will implicitly Generate the file if required.

Hope it helps
