Deploying .resx files

Posted by Darren Parr on 03-Oct-2012 17:44

Hi

I've noticed that when doing a project build, my resx files are not copied anywhere. I've set the paths correctly in the project and all of my .net objects get compiled correctly but the resx files are left in the source folder.

I really need an automatic way of dealing with this as other people are looking at my stuff (as I'm compiling the objects into a central area) and the webclient applications they are using are not able to see the resx files unless I move them manually.

Can anyone explain if this is possible in developer studio. This is 11.1

Thanks in advance

Darren

I'm not sure if it's possible or not.

I personally would solve this differently. I would not try to mix the responsibilities of a development environment with deployment tasks.

When you're saying a central location, does that mean a file server share? I've not made the best experiences - especially performance wise - with building Progress OO and specifically GUI for .NET code to a file server or when file server path's are in the propath. You'll find earlier posts from me in this forum that give more details.

So I'd build to a local folder.

To distribute r-code and resx files it to your colleagues, I'd write a batch file or ant script. This can then be executed as an "External Tool" from Progress Developer Studio.

Although I agree with Mike's remarks, the reason that your .resx files are not deployed in Architect/Studio is the difference between the Project Build Destination and the Static File Destination in the Build tab of your OpenEdge Project Properties.

If you enter a directory name in the Static File Destination (this can be the same directory als the Build Destination) your .resx files, images etc. will be copied there.

P.S. The names I am using are for OE 10.2B but something similar is available in 11.1.

Thanks. I've sorted that now
