Resx uses
TypeConverters
when available to convert data to/fromstring
andbyte[]
. The specific type converter used isn't recorded, it's only the active one fortypeof(T)
that is considered. For unwrapping it would be good to know the specific type converter used and attempt to use the exact one if possible and give diagnostic information of some sort.In order for this sort of change to have meaning, all copies of the Resx code need to be considered (MSBuild has their own, for example.)
