Resource Files

All the customizable strings for IBM® Cognos® Office products are in XML-based resource (.resx) files.

The .resx resource file format consists of XML entries that specify objects and strings inside XML tags. One advantage of a .resx file is that when opened with a text editor (such as Notepad) it can be written to, parsed, and manipulated. When viewing a .resx file, you can see the binary form of an embedded object, such as a picture when this binary information is a part of the resource manifest. Apart from this binary information, a .resx file is readable and maintainable.

A .resx file contains a standard set of header information that describes the format of the resource entries, and specifies the versioning information for the XML code that parses the data.

These files contain all the strings, labels, captions, and titles for all text in the three IBM Cognos Office components. For each language, there are three files, one for each component. The following table identifies each of the files.
