Extract String to Resource

Extracts the string at the caret into a resource file.

#Availability

Available from the context menu or via shortcuts:

  • when the caret is on a string. This string shouldn’t be assigned to a constant, or be an attribute value.

#Notes

  • This refactoring automatically suggests the name for the newly created resource string. You can then modify this name in the Resources browser, and the code will be updated automatically.

#Example

string MyString = "My text";
Dim MyString As String = "My text"

Result:

string MyString = Properties.Resources1.MyStringValue;
Dim MyString As String = My.Resources.Resources.MyStringValue
