# Icon Placeholder
This extension needs an icon.png file (128x128 pixels) for the marketplace.
You can create an icon that represents:
- RESX files
- Auto-generation/refresh symbols
- .NET/C# related imagery
For now, you can:
1. Create a 128x128 PNG image
2. Name it `icon.png`
3. Place it in the root directory
The icon should be simple, clear, and recognizable at small sizes.

# RESX Designer Auto-Generator
A VS Code extension that automatically regenerates Designer.cs files when RESX resource files are saved.
## Features
- **Automatic Regeneration**: Watches for changes to .resx files and automatically regenerates corresponding Designer.cs files
- **Smart Detection**: Automatically finds ResGen.exe on your system across different .NET SDK and Visual Studio installations
- **Debounced Updates**: Prevents excessive regeneration during rapid file changes
- **Status Updates**: Shows progress in the status bar with visual indicators
- **Configurable**: Customizable settings for different project needs
- **Cross-Platform**: Works on Windows, macOS, and Linux (where .NET SDK is available)
## Requirements
- .NET SDK or Visual Studio installed (for ResGen.exe)
- VS Code 1.101.0 or higher
## Quick Start
1. Install the extension
2. Open a workspace containing .resx files
3. Edit and save a .resx file
4. Watch as the Designer.cs file is automatically regenerated!
## Configuration
The extension can be configured through VS Code settings:
### `resxDesignerAutoGenerator.enabled`
- **Type**: `boolean`
- **Default**: `true`
- **Description**: Enable/disable automatic regeneration
### `resxDesignerAutoGenerator.showNotifications`
- **Type**: `boolean`
- **Default**: `true`
- **Description**: Show success/error notifications
### `resxDesignerAutoGenerator.debounceDelay`
- **Type**: `number`
- **Default**: `2000`
- **Range**: 500-10000
- **Description**: Delay in milliseconds before regenerating after a file change
### `resxDesignerAutoGenerator.resGenPaths`
- **Type**: `array`
- **Default**: `[]`
- **Description**: Custom paths to ResGen.exe (auto-detected if empty)
### `resxDesignerAutoGenerator.watchPatterns`
- **Type**: `array`
- **Default**: `["**/*.resx"]`
- **Description**: Glob patterns for watching .resx files
## Commands
### `RESX Designer: Regenerate Designer.cs`
Manually regenerate the Designer.cs file for a selected .resx file. Available in:
- Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P)
- Explorer context menu (right-click on .resx files)
### `RESX Designer: Show Output`
Show the extension's output channel for debugging and monitoring.
### `RESX Designer: Reload Configuration`
Reload the extension configuration and restart file watchers.
## How It Works
1. **File Watching**: The extension monitors .resx files in your workspace using VS Code's FileSystemWatcher API
2. **Debouncing**: When a .resx file changes, the extension waits for the configured delay to avoid rapid-fire regenerations
3. **ResGen Detection**: Automatically finds ResGen.exe in common locations:
- .NET Framework SDK locations
- Visual Studio installations (2019, 2022)
- System PATH
4. **Namespace Detection**: Analyzes your project structure to determine the correct namespace for generated classes
5. **Code Generation**: Executes ResGen.exe with the appropriate parameters to generate strongly-typed Designer.cs files
6. **Cleanup**: Removes temporary .resources files that ResGen creates
## Supported File Patterns
By default, the extension watches for files matching:
- `**/*.resx` - All .resx files in the workspace
You can customize this in the settings to watch specific folders or file patterns.
## Troubleshooting
### ResGen.exe Not Found
If you see this error, try:
1. Install the .NET SDK from [https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download)
2. Install Visual Studio with .NET development workload
3. Manually specify the path in `resxDesignerAutoGenerator.resGenPaths` setting
### Designer.cs Not Generated
1. Check the Output panel (View → Output → RESX Designer Auto-Generator)
2. Ensure the .resx file is valid XML
3. Verify write permissions in the project directory
4. Try the manual regenerate command
### Performance Issues
1. Adjust the `debounceDelay` setting to a higher value
2. Use more specific `watchPatterns` to exclude unnecessary files
3. Add large folders to VS Code's `files.watcherExclude` setting
## Example Configuration
```json
{
"resxDesignerAutoGenerator.enabled": true,
"resxDesignerAutoGenerator.showNotifications": false,
"resxDesignerAutoGenerator.debounceDelay": 3000,
"resxDesignerAutoGenerator.watchPatterns": [
"**/Resources/**/*.resx",
"**/Properties/**/*.resx"
]
}
```
## Installation

2. Go to Extensions (Ctrl+Shift+X)
3. Search for "RESX Designer Auto-Generator"
4. Click Install

# Welcome to your VS Code Extension
## What's in the folder
* This folder contains all of the files necessary for your extension.
* `package.json` - this is the manifest file in which you declare your extension and command.
* The sample plugin registers a command and defines its title and command name. With this information VS Code can show the command in the command palette. It doesnt yet need to load the plugin.
* `src/extension.ts` - this is the main file where you will provide the implementation of your command.
* The file exports one function, `activate`, which is called the very first time your extension is activated (in this case by executing the command). Inside the `activate` function we call `registerCommand`.
* We pass the function containing the implementation of the command as the second parameter to `registerCommand`.
## Setup
* install the recommended extensions (amodio.tsl-problem-matcher, ms-vscode.extension-test-runner, and dbaeumer.vscode-eslint)
## Get up and running straight away
* Press `F5` to open a new window with your extension loaded.
* Run your command from the command palette by pressing (`Ctrl+Shift+P` or `Cmd+Shift+P` on Mac) and typing `Hello World`.
* Set breakpoints in your code inside `src/extension.ts` to debug your extension.
* Find output from your extension in the debug console.
## Make changes
* You can relaunch the extension from the debug toolbar after changing code in `src/extension.ts`.
* You can also reload (`Ctrl+R` or `Cmd+R` on Mac) the VS Code window with your extension to load your changes.
## Explore the API
* You can open the full set of our API when you open the file `node_modules/@types/vscode/index.d.ts`.
## Run tests
* Install the [Extension Test Runner](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-vscode.extension-test-runner)
* Run the "watch" task via the **Tasks: Run Task** command. Make sure this is running, or tests might not be discovered.
* Open the Testing view from the activity bar and click the Run Test" button, or use the hotkey `Ctrl/Cmd + ; A`
* See the output of the test result in the Test Results view.
* Make changes to `src/test/extension.test.ts` or create new test files inside the `test` folder.
* The provided test runner will only consider files matching the name pattern `**.test.ts`.
* You can create folders inside the `test` folder to structure your tests any way you want.
## Go further
* Reduce the extension size and improve the startup time by [bundling your extension](https://code.visualstudio.com/api/working-with-extensions/bundling-extension).
* [Publish your extension](https://code.visualstudio.com/api/working-with-extensions/publishing-extension) on the VS Code extension marketplace.
* Automate builds by setting up [Continuous Integration](https://code.visualstudio.com/api/working-with-extensions/continuous-integration).
