I got a programm that generates .resx resource files. Those resource files are used in other projects, that isnt in the same solution as the project that generates the resource files.

I wonder now, if its possible to generate a designer.cs file from the resource file, so that you can access the resources directly without using the resxresourcereader.

Open the resx file and on its toolbar there's an Access Modifier menu. Set this to Public. This will generate a *.Designer.cs file.
