-  <!-- 
-    Microsoft ResX Schema 
-    
-    Version 2.0
-    
-    The primary goals of this format is to allow a simple XML format 
-    that is mostly human readable. The generation and parsing of the 
-    various data types are done through the TypeConverter classes 
-    associated with the data types.
-    
-    Example:
-    
-    ... ado.net/XML headers & schema ...
-    <resheader name="resmimetype">text/microsoft-resx</resheader>
-    <resheader name="version">2.0</resheader>
-    <resheader name="reader">System.Resources.ResXResourceReader, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <resheader name="writer">System.Resources.ResXResourceWriter, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <data name="Name1"><value>this is my long string</value><comment>this is a comment</comment></data>
-    <data name="Color1" type="System.Drawing.Color, System.Drawing">Blue</data>
-    <data name="Bitmap1" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded serialized .NET Framework object]</value>
-    </data>
-    <data name="Icon1" type="System.Drawing.Icon, System.Drawing" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded string representing a byte array form of the .NET Framework object]</value>
-        <comment>This is a comment</comment>
-    </data>
-                
-    There are any number of "resheader" rows that contain simple 
-    name/value pairs.
-    
-    Each data row contains a name, and value. The row also contains a 
-    type or mimetype. Type corresponds to a .NET class that support 
-    text/value conversion through the TypeConverter architecture. 
-    Classes that don't support this are serialized and stored with the 
-    mimetype set.
-    
-    The mimetype is used for serialized objects, and tells the 
-    ResXResourceReader how to depersist the object. This is currently not 
-    extensible. For a given mimetype the value must be set accordingly:
-    
-    Note - application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64 is the format 
-    that the ResXResourceWriter will generate, however the reader can 
-    read any of the formats listed below.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.soap.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Soap.SoapFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized into a byte array 
-            : using a System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.

-Better Fibonacci Sample
-================
-
-This sample is part of the [step-by-step tutorial](https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/core/tutorials/using-with-xplat-cli)
-for creating .NET Core Console Applications. Please see that topic for detailed steps on the code
-for this sample.
-
-Key Features
-------------
-
-This sample demonstrates a multiple source file project, adding recursion and caching previous
-results to the initial Fibonacci sample.
-
-Build and Run
--------------
-
-To build and run the sample, type the following command:
-
-To build and run the sample, type the following command:
-
-`dotnet run`
-
-`dotnet run` builds the sample and runs the output assembly. It implicitly calls `dotnet restore` on .NET Core 2.0 and later versions. If you're using a .NET Core 1.x SDK, you first have to call `dotnet restore` yourself.

-# Hello Sample
-
-This sample is part of the [step-by-step tutorial](https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/core/tutorials/using-with-xplat-cli)
-for creating .NET Core Console Applications. Please see that topic for detailed steps on the code
-for this sample.
-
-## Key Features
-
-This is the basic Hello World sample. It demonstrates the basics of the environment.
-
-## Build and Run
-
-To build and run the sample, type the following command:
-
-`dotnet run`
-
-`dotnet run` builds the sample and runs the output assembly. It implicitly calls `dotnet restore` on .NET Core 2.0 and later versions. If you're using a .NET Core 1.x SDK, you first have to call `dotnet restore` yourself.
-
-**Note:** Starting with .NET Core 2.0 SDK, you don't have to run [`dotnet restore`](https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/core/tools/dotnet-restore) because it's run implicitly by all commands that require a restore to occur, such as `dotnet new`, `dotnet build` and `dotnet run`. It's still a valid command in certain scenarios where doing an explicit restore makes sense, such as [continuous integration builds in Azure DevOps Services](https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/devops/build-release/apps/aspnet/build-aspnet-core) or in build systems that need to explicitly control the time at which the restore occurs.

-  <!-- 
-    Microsoft ResX Schema 
-    
-    Version 2.0
-    
-    The primary goals of this format is to allow a simple XML format 
-    that is mostly human readable. The generation and parsing of the 
-    various data types are done through the TypeConverter classes 
-    associated with the data types.
-    
-    Example:
-    
-    ... ado.net/XML headers & schema ...
-    <resheader name="resmimetype">text/microsoft-resx</resheader>
-    <resheader name="version">2.0</resheader>
-    <resheader name="reader">System.Resources.ResXResourceReader, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <resheader name="writer">System.Resources.ResXResourceWriter, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <data name="Name1"><value>this is my long string</value><comment>this is a comment</comment></data>
-    <data name="Color1" type="System.Drawing.Color, System.Drawing">Blue</data>
-    <data name="Bitmap1" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded serialized .NET Framework object]</value>
-    </data>
-    <data name="Icon1" type="System.Drawing.Icon, System.Drawing" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded string representing a byte array form of the .NET Framework object]</value>
-        <comment>This is a comment</comment>
-    </data>
-                
-    There are any number of "resheader" rows that contain simple 
-    name/value pairs.
-    
-    Each data row contains a name, and value. The row also contains a 
-    type or mimetype. Type corresponds to a .NET class that support 
-    text/value conversion through the TypeConverter architecture. 
-    Classes that don't support this are serialized and stored with the 
-    mimetype set.
-    
-    The mimetype is used for serialized objects, and tells the 
-    ResXResourceReader how to depersist the object. This is currently not 
-    extensible. For a given mimetype the value must be set accordingly:
-    
-    Note - application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64 is the format 
-    that the ResXResourceWriter will generate, however the reader can 
-    read any of the formats listed below.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.soap.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Soap.SoapFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized into a byte array 
-            : using a System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.

-  <!-- 
-    Microsoft ResX Schema 
-    
-    Version 2.0
-    
-    The primary goals of this format is to allow a simple XML format 
-    that is mostly human readable. The generation and parsing of the 
-    various data types are done through the TypeConverter classes 
-    associated with the data types.
-    
-    Example:
-    
-    ... ado.net/XML headers & schema ...
-    <resheader name="resmimetype">text/microsoft-resx</resheader>
-    <resheader name="version">2.0</resheader>
-    <resheader name="reader">System.Resources.ResXResourceReader, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <resheader name="writer">System.Resources.ResXResourceWriter, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <data name="Name1"><value>this is my long string</value><comment>this is a comment</comment></data>
-    <data name="Color1" type="System.Drawing.Color, System.Drawing">Blue</data>
-    <data name="Bitmap1" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded serialized .NET Framework object]</value>
-    </data>
-    <data name="Icon1" type="System.Drawing.Icon, System.Drawing" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded string representing a byte array form of the .NET Framework object]</value>
-        <comment>This is a comment</comment>
-    </data>
-                
-    There are any number of "resheader" rows that contain simple 
-    name/value pairs.
-    
-    Each data row contains a name, and value. The row also contains a 
-    type or mimetype. Type corresponds to a .NET class that support 
-    text/value conversion through the TypeConverter architecture. 
-    Classes that don't support this are serialized and stored with the 
-    mimetype set.
-    
-    The mimetype is used for serialized objects, and tells the 
-    ResXResourceReader how to depersist the object. This is currently not 
-    extensible. For a given mimetype the value must be set accordingly:
-    
-    Note - application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64 is the format 
-    that the ResXResourceWriter will generate, however the reader can 
-    read any of the formats listed below.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.soap.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Soap.SoapFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized into a byte array 
-            : using a System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.

-              Spacing between paragraphs is caused by margins set on the paragraphs.  Two adjacent margins
-              will "collapse" to the larger of the two margin widths, rather than doubling up.

-            <Paragraph>
-              To eliminate extra spacing between two paragraphs, just set the paragraph margins to 0.

-        Brushes have two transformation properties: <Bold>RelativeTransform</Bold> and <Bold>Transform</Bold>.
-        When you set the RelativeTransform property with a transform, it is applied before the brush is
-        stretched to fill the output area. When you set the Transform property, the transform is applied
-        after the brush is stretched to fill the output area. In the following examples, RotateTransforms are applied
-        to the RelativeTransform and Transform properties to demonstrate their differences.

-        There are a variety of syntax options for describing a SolidColorBrush. You may use
-        hexadecimal syntax, specify a predefined brush by name, or use property tag notation and specify ARGB or ScRGB values.
-        The following example shows some of the different ways to paint an area with a SolidColorBrush.
-        Each rectangle is painted with a blue SolidColorBrush; each SolidColorBrush
-        is described using a different format.

-  <!-- 
-    Microsoft ResX Schema 
-    
-    Version 2.0
-    
-    The primary goals of this format is to allow a simple XML format 
-    that is mostly human readable. The generation and parsing of the 
-    various data types are done through the TypeConverter classes 
-    associated with the data types.
-    
-    Example:
-    
-    ... ado.net/XML headers & schema ...
-    <resheader name="resmimetype">text/microsoft-resx</resheader>
-    <resheader name="version">2.0</resheader>
-    <resheader name="reader">System.Resources.ResXResourceReader, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <resheader name="writer">System.Resources.ResXResourceWriter, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <data name="Name1"><value>this is my long string</value><comment>this is a comment</comment></data>
-    <data name="Color1" type="System.Drawing.Color, System.Drawing">Blue</data>
-    <data name="Bitmap1" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded serialized .NET Framework object]</value>
-    </data>
-    <data name="Icon1" type="System.Drawing.Icon, System.Drawing" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded string representing a byte array form of the .NET Framework object]</value>
-        <comment>This is a comment</comment>
-    </data>
-                
-    There are any number of "resheader" rows that contain simple 
-    name/value pairs.
-    
-    Each data row contains a name, and value. The row also contains a 
-    type or mimetype. Type corresponds to a .NET class that support 
-    text/value conversion through the TypeConverter architecture. 
-    Classes that don't support this are serialized and stored with the 
-    mimetype set.
-    
-    The mimetype is used for serialized objects, and tells the 
-    ResXResourceReader how to depersist the object. This is currently not 
-    extensible. For a given mimetype the value must be set accordingly:
-    
-    Note - application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64 is the format 
-    that the ResXResourceWriter will generate, however the reader can 
-    read any of the formats listed below.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.soap.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Soap.SoapFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized into a byte array 
-            : using a System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.

-  <!-- 
-    Microsoft ResX Schema 
-    
-    Version 2.0
-    
-    The primary goals of this format is to allow a simple XML format 
-    that is mostly human readable. The generation and parsing of the 
-    various data types are done through the TypeConverter classes 
-    associated with the data types.
-    
-    Example:
-    
-    ... ado.net/XML headers & schema ...
-    <resheader name="resmimetype">text/microsoft-resx</resheader>
-    <resheader name="version">2.0</resheader>
-    <resheader name="reader">System.Resources.ResXResourceReader, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <resheader name="writer">System.Resources.ResXResourceWriter, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <data name="Name1"><value>this is my long string</value><comment>this is a comment</comment></data>
-    <data name="Color1" type="System.Drawing.Color, System.Drawing">Blue</data>
-    <data name="Bitmap1" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded serialized .NET Framework object]</value>
-    </data>
-    <data name="Icon1" type="System.Drawing.Icon, System.Drawing" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded string representing a byte array form of the .NET Framework object]</value>
-        <comment>This is a comment</comment>
-    </data>
-                
-    There are any number of "resheader" rows that contain simple 
-    name/value pairs.
-    
-    Each data row contains a name, and value. The row also contains a 
-    type or mimetype. Type corresponds to a .NET class that support 
-    text/value conversion through the TypeConverter architecture. 
-    Classes that don't support this are serialized and stored with the 
-    mimetype set.
-    
-    The mimetype is used for serialized objects, and tells the 
-    ResXResourceReader how to depersist the object. This is currently not 
-    extensible. For a given mimetype the value must be set accordingly:
-    
-    Note - application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64 is the format 
-    that the ResXResourceWriter will generate, however the reader can 
-    read any of the formats listed below.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.soap.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Soap.SoapFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized into a byte array 
-            : using a System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.

-  <!-- 
-    Microsoft ResX Schema 
-    
-    Version 2.0
-    
-    The primary goals of this format is to allow a simple XML format 
-    that is mostly human readable. The generation and parsing of the 
-    various data types are done through the TypeConverter classes 
-    associated with the data types.
-    
-    Example:
-    
-    ... ado.net/XML headers & schema ...
-    <resheader name="resmimetype">text/microsoft-resx</resheader>
-    <resheader name="version">2.0</resheader>
-    <resheader name="reader">System.Resources.ResXResourceReader, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <resheader name="writer">System.Resources.ResXResourceWriter, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <data name="Name1"><value>this is my long string</value><comment>this is a comment</comment></data>
-    <data name="Color1" type="System.Drawing.Color, System.Drawing">Blue</data>
-    <data name="Bitmap1" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded serialized .NET Framework object]</value>
-    </data>
-    <data name="Icon1" type="System.Drawing.Icon, System.Drawing" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded string representing a byte array form of the .NET Framework object]</value>
-        <comment>This is a comment</comment>
-    </data>
-                
-    There are any number of "resheader" rows that contain simple 
-    name/value pairs.
-    
-    Each data row contains a name, and value. The row also contains a 
-    type or mimetype. Type corresponds to a .NET class that support 
-    text/value conversion through the TypeConverter architecture. 
-    Classes that don't support this are serialized and stored with the 
-    mimetype set.
-    
-    The mimetype is used for serialized objects, and tells the 
-    ResXResourceReader how to depersist the object. This is currently not 
-    extensible. For a given mimetype the value must be set accordingly:
-    
-    Note - application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64 is the format 
-    that the ResXResourceWriter will generate, however the reader can 
-    read any of the formats listed below.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.soap.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Soap.SoapFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized into a byte array 
-            : using a System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.

-WinFX Web Browser Application Readme
-----------------------------------
-Web Browser Applications run in a sandbox with "Internet Permissions".
-Only those WinFX features that have been successfully security reviewed and validated as safe by the WinFX team will run inside the sandbox.
-
-WinFX Item Templates - which work in the sandbox?
---------------------------------------------------------
-Won't work by design - WinFX Window - In the internet zone, you don't have the permission to "popup" new windows.
-
-Debugging Web Browser Applications - (F5)
---------------------------------------------------------
-In order to successfully debug an Web Browser Application in Visual Studio, you must enable unmanaged code debugging
-via the Debug page in the Properties view.
-
-Developers using Visual C# and Visual Basic Express do not need to do this - however, they do
-need to save any newly created Web Browser Application project.  Close the Solution.  Then open
-it, or F5 will not work.
-
-The first time that this project is debugged, a dialog may appear stating that there 
-is no debug information available for PresentationHost.exe.  This dialog can be
-safely dismissed.

-WinFX Web Browser Application Readme
-----------------------------------
-Web Browser Applications run in a sandbox with "Internet Permissions".
-Only those WinFX features that have been successfully security reviewed and validated as safe by the WinFX team will run inside the sandbox.
-
-WinFX Item Templates - which work in the sandbox?
---------------------------------------------------------
-Won't work by design - WinFX Window - In the internet zone, you don't have the permission to "popup" new windows.
-
-Debugging Web Browser Applications - (F5)
---------------------------------------------------------
-In order to successfully debug an Web Browser Application in Visual Studio, you must enable unmanaged code debugging
-via the Debug page in the Properties view.
-
-Developers using Visual C# and Visual Basic Express do not need to do this - however, they do
-need to save any newly created Web Browser Application project.  Close the Solution.  Then open
-it, or F5 will not work.
-
-The first time that this project is debugged, a dialog may appear stating that there 
-is no debug information available for PresentationHost.exe.  This dialog can be
-safely dismissed.

-  <!-- 
-    Microsoft ResX Schema 
-    
-    Version 2.0
-    
-    The primary goals of this format is to allow a simple XML format 
-    that is mostly human readable. The generation and parsing of the 
-    various data types are done through the TypeConverter classes 
-    associated with the data types.
-    
-    Example:
-    
-    ... ado.net/XML headers & schema ...
-    <resheader name="resmimetype">text/microsoft-resx</resheader>
-    <resheader name="version">2.0</resheader>
-    <resheader name="reader">System.Resources.ResXResourceReader, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <resheader name="writer">System.Resources.ResXResourceWriter, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <data name="Name1"><value>this is my long string</value><comment>this is a comment</comment></data>
-    <data name="Color1" type="System.Drawing.Color, System.Drawing">Blue</data>
-    <data name="Bitmap1" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded serialized .NET Framework object]</value>
-    </data>
-    <data name="Icon1" type="System.Drawing.Icon, System.Drawing" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded string representing a byte array form of the .NET Framework object]</value>
-        <comment>This is a comment</comment>
-    </data>
-                
-    There are any number of "resheader" rows that contain simple 
-    name/value pairs.
-    
-    Each data row contains a name, and value. The row also contains a 
-    type or mimetype. Type corresponds to a .NET class that support 
-    text/value conversion through the TypeConverter architecture. 
-    Classes that don't support this are serialized and stored with the 
-    mimetype set.
-    
-    The mimetype is used for serialized objects, and tells the 
-    ResXResourceReader how to depersist the object. This is currently not 
-    extensible. For a given mimetype the value must be set accordingly:
-    
-    Note - application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64 is the format 
-    that the ResXResourceWriter will generate, however the reader can 
-    read any of the formats listed below.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.soap.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Soap.SoapFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized into a byte array 
-            : using a System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.

-<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

-  <!-- 
-    Microsoft ResX Schema 
-    
-    Version 2.0
-    
-    The primary goals of this format is to allow a simple XML format 
-    that is mostly human readable. The generation and parsing of the 
-    various data types are done through the TypeConverter classes 
-    associated with the data types.
-    
-    Example:
-    
-    ... ado.net/XML headers & schema ...
-    <resheader name="resmimetype">text/microsoft-resx</resheader>
-    <resheader name="version">2.0</resheader>
-    <resheader name="reader">System.Resources.ResXResourceReader, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <resheader name="writer">System.Resources.ResXResourceWriter, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <data name="Name1"><value>this is my long string</value><comment>this is a comment</comment></data>
-    <data name="Color1" type="System.Drawing.Color, System.Drawing">Blue</data>
-    <data name="Bitmap1" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded serialized .NET Framework object]</value>
-    </data>
-    <data name="Icon1" type="System.Drawing.Icon, System.Drawing" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded string representing a byte array form of the .NET Framework object]</value>
-        <comment>This is a comment</comment>
-    </data>
-                
-    There are any number of "resheader" rows that contain simple 
-    name/value pairs.
-    
-    Each data row contains a name, and value. The row also contains a 
-    type or mimetype. Type corresponds to a .NET class that support 
-    text/value conversion through the TypeConverter architecture. 
-    Classes that don't support this are serialized and stored with the 
-    mimetype set.
-    
-    The mimetype is used for serialized objects, and tells the 
-    ResXResourceReader how to depersist the object. This is currently not 
-    extensible. For a given mimetype the value must be set accordingly:
-    
-    Note - application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64 is the format 
-    that the ResXResourceWriter will generate, however the reader can 
-    read any of the formats listed below.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.soap.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Soap.SoapFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized into a byte array 
-            : using a System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.

-  <!-- 
-    Microsoft ResX Schema 
-    
-    Version 2.0
-    
-    The primary goals of this format is to allow a simple XML format 
-    that is mostly human readable. The generation and parsing of the 
-    various data types are done through the TypeConverter classes 
-    associated with the data types.
-    
-    Example:
-    
-    ... ado.net/XML headers & schema ...
-    <resheader name="resmimetype">text/microsoft-resx</resheader>
-    <resheader name="version">2.0</resheader>
-    <resheader name="reader">System.Resources.ResXResourceReader, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <resheader name="writer">System.Resources.ResXResourceWriter, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <data name="Name1"><value>this is my long string</value><comment>this is a comment</comment></data>
-    <data name="Color1" type="System.Drawing.Color, System.Drawing">Blue</data>
-    <data name="Bitmap1" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded serialized .NET Framework object]</value>
-    </data>
-    <data name="Icon1" type="System.Drawing.Icon, System.Drawing" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded string representing a byte array form of the .NET Framework object]</value>
-        <comment>This is a comment</comment>
-    </data>
-                
-    There are any number of "resheader" rows that contain simple 
-    name/value pairs.
-    
-    Each data row contains a name, and value. The row also contains a 
-    type or mimetype. Type corresponds to a .NET class that support 
-    text/value conversion through the TypeConverter architecture. 
-    Classes that don't support this are serialized and stored with the 
-    mimetype set.
-    
-    The mimetype is used for serialized objects, and tells the 
-    ResXResourceReader how to depersist the object. This is currently not 
-    extensible. For a given mimetype the value must be set accordingly:
-    
-    Note - application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64 is the format 
-    that the ResXResourceWriter will generate, however the reader can 
-    read any of the formats listed below.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.soap.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Soap.SoapFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized into a byte array 
-            : using a System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.

-  <!-- 
-    Microsoft ResX Schema 
-    
-    Version 2.0
-    
-    The primary goals of this format is to allow a simple XML format 
-    that is mostly human readable. The generation and parsing of the 
-    various data types are done through the TypeConverter classes 
-    associated with the data types.
-    
-    Example:
-    
-    ... ado.net/XML headers & schema ...
-    <resheader name="resmimetype">text/microsoft-resx</resheader>
-    <resheader name="version">2.0</resheader>
-    <resheader name="reader">System.Resources.ResXResourceReader, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <resheader name="writer">System.Resources.ResXResourceWriter, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <data name="Name1"><value>this is my long string</value><comment>this is a comment</comment></data>
-    <data name="Color1" type="System.Drawing.Color, System.Drawing">Blue</data>
-    <data name="Bitmap1" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded serialized .NET Framework object]</value>
-    </data>
-    <data name="Icon1" type="System.Drawing.Icon, System.Drawing" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded string representing a byte array form of the .NET Framework object]</value>
-        <comment>This is a comment</comment>
-    </data>
-                
-    There are any number of "resheader" rows that contain simple 
-    name/value pairs.
-    
-    Each data row contains a name, and value. The row also contains a 
-    type or mimetype. Type corresponds to a .NET class that support 
-    text/value conversion through the TypeConverter architecture. 
-    Classes that don't support this are serialized and stored with the 
-    mimetype set.
-    
-    The mimetype is used for serialized objects, and tells the 
-    ResXResourceReader how to depersist the object. This is currently not 
-    extensible. For a given mimetype the value must be set accordingly:
-    
-    Note - application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64 is the format 
-    that the ResXResourceWriter will generate, however the reader can 
-    read any of the formats listed below.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.soap.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Soap.SoapFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized into a byte array 
-            : using a System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.

-  <!-- 
-    Microsoft ResX Schema 
-    
-    Version 2.0
-    
-    The primary goals of this format is to allow a simple XML format 
-    that is mostly human readable. The generation and parsing of the 
-    various data types are done through the TypeConverter classes 
-    associated with the data types.
-    
-    Example:
-    
-    ... ado.net/XML headers & schema ...
-    <resheader name="resmimetype">text/microsoft-resx</resheader>
-    <resheader name="version">2.0</resheader>
-    <resheader name="reader">System.Resources.ResXResourceReader, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <resheader name="writer">System.Resources.ResXResourceWriter, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <data name="Name1"><value>this is my long string</value><comment>this is a comment</comment></data>
-    <data name="Color1" type="System.Drawing.Color, System.Drawing">Blue</data>
-    <data name="Bitmap1" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded serialized .NET Framework object]</value>
-    </data>
-    <data name="Icon1" type="System.Drawing.Icon, System.Drawing" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded string representing a byte array form of the .NET Framework object]</value>
-        <comment>This is a comment</comment>
-    </data>
-                
-    There are any number of "resheader" rows that contain simple 
-    name/value pairs.
-    
-    Each data row contains a name, and value. The row also contains a 
-    type or mimetype. Type corresponds to a .NET class that support 
-    text/value conversion through the TypeConverter architecture. 
-    Classes that don't support this are serialized and stored with the 
-    mimetype set.
-    
-    The mimetype is used for serialized objects, and tells the 
-    ResXResourceReader how to depersist the object. This is currently not 
-    extensible. For a given mimetype the value must be set accordingly:
-    
-    Note - application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64 is the format 
-    that the ResXResourceWriter will generate, however the reader can 
-    read any of the formats listed below.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.soap.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Soap.SoapFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized into a byte array 
-            : using a System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.

-  <!-- 
-    Microsoft ResX Schema 
-    
-    Version 2.0
-    
-    The primary goals of this format is to allow a simple XML format 
-    that is mostly human readable. The generation and parsing of the 
-    various data types are done through the TypeConverter classes 
-    associated with the data types.
-    
-    Example:
-    
-    ... ado.net/XML headers & schema ...
-    <resheader name="resmimetype">text/microsoft-resx</resheader>
-    <resheader name="version">2.0</resheader>
-    <resheader name="reader">System.Resources.ResXResourceReader, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <resheader name="writer">System.Resources.ResXResourceWriter, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <data name="Name1"><value>this is my long string</value><comment>this is a comment</comment></data>
-    <data name="Color1" type="System.Drawing.Color, System.Drawing">Blue</data>
-    <data name="Bitmap1" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded serialized .NET Framework object]</value>
-    </data>
-    <data name="Icon1" type="System.Drawing.Icon, System.Drawing" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded string representing a byte array form of the .NET Framework object]</value>
-        <comment>This is a comment</comment>
-    </data>
-                
-    There are any number of "resheader" rows that contain simple 
-    name/value pairs.
-    
-    Each data row contains a name, and value. The row also contains a 
-    type or mimetype. Type corresponds to a .NET class that support 
-    text/value conversion through the TypeConverter architecture. 
-    Classes that don't support this are serialized and stored with the 
-    mimetype set.
-    
-    The mimetype is used for serialized objects, and tells the 
-    ResXResourceReader how to depersist the object. This is currently not 
-    extensible. For a given mimetype the value must be set accordingly:
-    
-    Note - application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64 is the format 
-    that the ResXResourceWriter will generate, however the reader can 
-    read any of the formats listed below.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.soap.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Soap.SoapFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized into a byte array 
-            : using a System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.

-    Microsoft ResX Schema 
-    
-    Version 2.0
-    
-    The primary goals of this format is to allow a simple XML format 
-    that is mostly human readable. The generation and parsing of the 
-    various data types are done through the TypeConverter classes 
-    associated with the data types.
-    
-    Example:
-    
-    ... ado.net/XML headers & schema ...
-    <resheader name="resmimetype">text/microsoft-resx</resheader>
-    <resheader name="version">2.0</resheader>
-    <resheader name="reader">System.Resources.ResXResourceReader, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <resheader name="writer">System.Resources.ResXResourceWriter, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <data name="Name1"><value>this is my long string</value><comment>this is a comment</comment></data>
-    <data name="Color1" type="System.Drawing.Color, System.Drawing">Blue</data>
-    <data name="Bitmap1" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded serialized .NET Framework object]</value>
-    </data>
-    <data name="Icon1" type="System.Drawing.Icon, System.Drawing" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded string representing a byte array form of the .NET Framework object]</value>
-        <comment>This is a comment</comment>
-    </data>
-                
-    There are any number of "resheader" rows that contain simple 
-    name/value pairs.
-    
-    Each data row contains a name, and value. The row also contains a 
-    type or mimetype. Type corresponds to a .NET class that support 
-    text/value conversion through the TypeConverter architecture. 
-    Classes that don't support this are serialized and stored with the 
-    mimetype set.
-    
-    The mimetype is used for serialized objects, and tells the 
-    ResXResourceReader how to depersist the object. This is currently not 
-    extensible. For a given mimetype the value must be set accordingly:
-    
-    Note - application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64 is the format 
-    that the ResXResourceWriter will generate, however the reader can 
-    read any of the formats listed below.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.soap.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Soap.SoapFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized into a byte array 
-            : using a System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.

-  <!-- 
-    Microsoft ResX Schema 
-    
-    Version 2.0
-    
-    The primary goals of this format is to allow a simple XML format 
-    that is mostly human readable. The generation and parsing of the 
-    various data types are done through the TypeConverter classes 
-    associated with the data types.
-    
-    Example:
-    
-    ... ado.net/XML headers & schema ...
-    <resheader name="resmimetype">text/microsoft-resx</resheader>
-    <resheader name="version">2.0</resheader>
-    <resheader name="reader">System.Resources.ResXResourceReader, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <resheader name="writer">System.Resources.ResXResourceWriter, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <data name="Name1"><value>this is my long string</value><comment>this is a comment</comment></data>
-    <data name="Color1" type="System.Drawing.Color, System.Drawing">Blue</data>
-    <data name="Bitmap1" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded serialized .NET Framework object]</value>
-    </data>
-    <data name="Icon1" type="System.Drawing.Icon, System.Drawing" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded string representing a byte array form of the .NET Framework object]</value>
-        <comment>This is a comment</comment>
-    </data>
-                
-    There are any number of "resheader" rows that contain simple 
-    name/value pairs.
-    
-    Each data row contains a name, and value. The row also contains a 
-    type or mimetype. Type corresponds to a .NET class that support 
-    text/value conversion through the TypeConverter architecture. 
-    Classes that don't support this are serialized and stored with the 
-    mimetype set.
-    
-    The mimetype is used for serialized objects, and tells the 
-    ResXResourceReader how to depersist the object. This is currently not 
-    extensible. For a given mimetype the value must be set accordingly:
-    
-    Note - application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64 is the format 
-    that the ResXResourceWriter will generate, however the reader can 
-    read any of the formats listed below.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.soap.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Soap.SoapFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized into a byte array 
-            : using a System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.

-    Microsoft ResX Schema 
-    
-    Version 2.0
-    
-    The primary goals of this format is to allow a simple XML format 
-    that is mostly human readable. The generation and parsing of the 
-    various data types are done through the TypeConverter classes 
-    associated with the data types.
-    
-    Example:
-    
-    ... ado.net/XML headers & schema ...
-    <resheader name="resmimetype">text/microsoft-resx</resheader>
-    <resheader name="version">2.0</resheader>
-    <resheader name="reader">System.Resources.ResXResourceReader, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <resheader name="writer">System.Resources.ResXResourceWriter, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <data name="Name1"><value>this is my long string</value><comment>this is a comment</comment></data>
-    <data name="Color1" type="System.Drawing.Color, System.Drawing">Blue</data>
-    <data name="Bitmap1" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded serialized .NET Framework object]</value>
-    </data>
-    <data name="Icon1" type="System.Drawing.Icon, System.Drawing" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded string representing a byte array form of the .NET Framework object]</value>
-        <comment>This is a comment</comment>
-    </data>
-                
-    There are any number of "resheader" rows that contain simple 
-    name/value pairs.
-    
-    Each data row contains a name, and value. The row also contains a 
-    type or mimetype. Type corresponds to a .NET class that support 
-    text/value conversion through the TypeConverter architecture. 
-    Classes that don't support this are serialized and stored with the 
-    mimetype set.
-    
-    The mimetype is used for serialized objects, and tells the 
-    ResXResourceReader how to depersist the object. This is currently not 
-    extensible. For a given mimetype the value must be set accordingly:
-    
-    Note - application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64 is the format 
-    that the ResXResourceWriter will generate, however the reader can 
-    read any of the formats listed below.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.soap.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Soap.SoapFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized into a byte array 
-            : using a System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.

-        <value>[base64 mime encoded string representing a byte array form of the .NET Framework object]</value>

-    </data>
-                
-    There are any number of "resheader" rows that contain simple 
-    name/value pairs.
-    
-    Each data row contains a name, and value. The row also contains a 
-    type or mimetype. Type corresponds to a .NET class that support 
-    text/value conversion through the TypeConverter architecture. 
-    Classes that don't support this are serialized and stored with the 
-    mimetype set.
-    
-    The mimetype is used for serialized objects, and tells the 
-    ResXResourceReader how to depersist the object. This is currently not 
-    extensible. For a given mimetype the value must be set accordingly:
-    
-    Note - application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64 is the format 
-    that the ResXResourceWriter will generate, however the reader can 
-    read any of the formats listed below.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.soap.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Soap.SoapFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized into a byte array 
-            : using a System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.

-  <!-- 
-    Microsoft ResX Schema 
-    
-    Version 2.0
-    
-    The primary goals of this format is to allow a simple XML format 
-    that is mostly human readable. The generation and parsing of the 
-    various data types are done through the TypeConverter classes 
-    associated with the data types.
-    
-    Example:
-    
-    ... ado.net/XML headers & schema ...
-    <resheader name="resmimetype">text/microsoft-resx</resheader>
-    <resheader name="version">2.0</resheader>
-    <resheader name="reader">System.Resources.ResXResourceReader, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <resheader name="writer">System.Resources.ResXResourceWriter, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <data name="Name1"><value>this is my long string</value><comment>this is a comment</comment></data>
-    <data name="Color1" type="System.Drawing.Color, System.Drawing">Blue</data>
-    <data name="Bitmap1" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded serialized .NET Framework object]</value>
-    </data>
-    <data name="Icon1" type="System.Drawing.Icon, System.Drawing" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded string representing a byte array form of the .NET Framework object]</value>
-        <comment>This is a comment</comment>
-    </data>
-                
-    There are any number of "resheader" rows that contain simple 
-    name/value pairs.
-    
-    Each data row contains a name, and value. The row also contains a 
-    type or mimetype. Type corresponds to a .NET class that support 
-    text/value conversion through the TypeConverter architecture. 
-    Classes that don't support this are serialized and stored with the 
-    mimetype set.
-    
-    The mimetype is used for serialized objects, and tells the 
-    ResXResourceReader how to depersist the object. This is currently not 
-    extensible. For a given mimetype the value must be set accordingly:
-    
-    Note - application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64 is the format 
-    that the ResXResourceWriter will generate, however the reader can 
-    read any of the formats listed below.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.soap.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Soap.SoapFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized into a byte array 
-            : using a System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.

-    The primary goals of this format is to allow a simple XML format 
-    that is mostly human readable. The generation and parsing of the 
-    various data types are done through the TypeConverter classes 
-    associated with the data types.
-    
-    Example:

-                
-    There are any number of "resheader" rows that contain simple 
-    name/value pairs.
-    
-    Each data row contains a name, and value. The row also contains a 
-    type or mimetype. Type corresponds to a .NET class that support 
-    text/value conversion through the TypeConverter architecture. 
-    Classes that don't support this are serialized and stored with the 
-    mimetype set.
-    
-    The mimetype is used for serialized objects, and tells the 
-    ResXResourceReader how to depersist the object. This is currently not 
-    extensible. For a given mimetype the value must be set accordingly:
-    
-    Note - application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64 is the format 
-    that the ResXResourceWriter will generate, however the reader can 
-    read any of the formats listed below.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.soap.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Soap.SoapFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64

-            : using a System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter

-  <!-- 
-    Microsoft ResX Schema 
-    
-    Version 2.0
-    
-    The primary goals of this format is to allow a simple XML format 
-    that is mostly human readable. The generation and parsing of the 
-    various data types are done through the TypeConverter classes 
-    associated with the data types.
-    
-    Example:
-    
-    ... ado.net/XML headers & schema ...
-    <resheader name="resmimetype">text/microsoft-resx</resheader>
-    <resheader name="version">2.0</resheader>
-    <resheader name="reader">System.Resources.ResXResourceReader, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <resheader name="writer">System.Resources.ResXResourceWriter, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <data name="Name1"><value>this is my long string</value><comment>this is a comment</comment></data>
-    <data name="Color1" type="System.Drawing.Color, System.Drawing">Blue</data>
-    <data name="Bitmap1" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded serialized .NET Framework object]</value>
-    </data>
-    <data name="Icon1" type="System.Drawing.Icon, System.Drawing" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded string representing a byte array form of the .NET Framework object]</value>
-        <comment>This is a comment</comment>
-    </data>
-                
-    There are any number of "resheader" rows that contain simple 
-    name/value pairs.
-    
-    Each data row contains a name, and value. The row also contains a 
-    type or mimetype. Type corresponds to a .NET class that support 
-    text/value conversion through the TypeConverter architecture. 
-    Classes that don't support this are serialized and stored with the 
-    mimetype set.
-    
-    The mimetype is used for serialized objects, and tells the 
-    ResXResourceReader how to depersist the object. This is currently not 
-    extensible. For a given mimetype the value must be set accordingly:
-    
-    Note - application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64 is the format 
-    that the ResXResourceWriter will generate, however the reader can 
-    read any of the formats listed below.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.soap.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Soap.SoapFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized into a byte array 
-            : using a System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.

-  <!-- 
-    Microsoft ResX Schema 
-    
-    Version 2.0
-    
-    The primary goals of this format is to allow a simple XML format 
-    that is mostly human readable. The generation and parsing of the 
-    various data types are done through the TypeConverter classes 
-    associated with the data types.
-    
-    Example:
-    
-    ... ado.net/XML headers & schema ...
-    <resheader name="resmimetype">text/microsoft-resx</resheader>
-    <resheader name="version">2.0</resheader>
-    <resheader name="reader">System.Resources.ResXResourceReader, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <resheader name="writer">System.Resources.ResXResourceWriter, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <data name="Name1"><value>this is my long string</value><comment>this is a comment</comment></data>
-    <data name="Color1" type="System.Drawing.Color, System.Drawing">Blue</data>
-    <data name="Bitmap1" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded serialized .NET Framework object]</value>
-    </data>
-    <data name="Icon1" type="System.Drawing.Icon, System.Drawing" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded string representing a byte array form of the .NET Framework object]</value>
-        <comment>This is a comment</comment>
-    </data>
-                
-    There are any number of "resheader" rows that contain simple 
-    name/value pairs.
-    
-    Each data row contains a name, and value. The row also contains a 
-    type or mimetype. Type corresponds to a .NET class that support 
-    text/value conversion through the TypeConverter architecture. 
-    Classes that don't support this are serialized and stored with the 
-    mimetype set.
-    
-    The mimetype is used for serialized objects, and tells the 
-    ResXResourceReader how to depersist the object. This is currently not 
-    extensible. For a given mimetype the value must be set accordingly:
-    
-    Note - application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64 is the format 
-    that the ResXResourceWriter will generate, however the reader can 
-    read any of the formats listed below.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.soap.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Soap.SoapFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized into a byte array 
-            : using a System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.

-.NET Framework 3.0 XAML Browser Application Readme
-----------------------------------
-XAML Browser Applications run in a sandbox with "Internet Permissions".
-Only those .NET Framework 3.0 features that have been successfully security reviewed and validated as safe by the .NET Framework 3.0 team will run inside the sandbox.
-
-.NET Framework 3.0 Item Templates - which work in the sandbox?
---------------------------------------------------------
-Won't work by design - .NET Framework 3.0 Window - In the internet zone, you don't have the permission to "popup" new windows.
-
-Debugging XAML Browser Applications - (F5)
---------------------------------------------------------
-In order to successfully debug an XAML Browser Application in Visual Studio, you must enable unmanaged code debugging
-via the Debug page in the Properties view. Developers using Visual C# and Visual Basic Express do not need to do this.
-
-The first time that this project is debugged, a dialog may appear stating that there 
-is no debug information available for PresentationHost.exe.  This dialog can be
-safely dismissed.

-    The primary goals of this format is to allow a simple XML format 
-    that is mostly human readable. The generation and parsing of the 
-    various data types are done through the TypeConverter classes 
-    associated with the data types.
-    
-    Example:
-    
-    ... ado.net/XML headers & schema ...
-    <resheader name="resmimetype">text/microsoft-resx</resheader>
-    <resheader name="version">2.0</resheader>
-    <resheader name="reader">System.Resources.ResXResourceReader, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <resheader name="writer">System.Resources.ResXResourceWriter, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <data name="Name1"><value>this is my long string</value><comment>this is a comment</comment></data>

-        <value>[base64 mime encoded string representing a byte array form of the .NET Framework object]</value>
-        <comment>This is a comment</comment>
-    </data>
-                
-    There are any number of "resheader" rows that contain simple 
-    name/value pairs.
-    
-    Each data row contains a name, and value. The row also contains a 
-    type or mimetype. Type corresponds to a .NET class that support 
-    text/value conversion through the TypeConverter architecture. 
-    Classes that don't support this are serialized and stored with the 
-    mimetype set.
-    
-    The mimetype is used for serialized objects, and tells the 
-    ResXResourceReader how to depersist the object. This is currently not 
-    extensible. For a given mimetype the value must be set accordingly:
-    
-    Note - application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64 is the format 
-    that the ResXResourceWriter will generate, however the reader can 
-    read any of the formats listed below.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.soap.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Soap.SoapFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized into a byte array 
-            : using a System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter

-<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

-  <!-- 
-    Microsoft ResX Schema 
-    
-    Version 2.0
-    
-    The primary goals of this format is to allow a simple XML format 
-    that is mostly human readable. The generation and parsing of the 
-    various data types are done through the TypeConverter classes 
-    associated with the data types.
-    
-    Example:
-    
-    ... ado.net/XML headers & schema ...
-    <resheader name="resmimetype">text/microsoft-resx</resheader>
-    <resheader name="version">2.0</resheader>
-    <resheader name="reader">System.Resources.ResXResourceReader, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <resheader name="writer">System.Resources.ResXResourceWriter, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <data name="Name1"><value>this is my long string</value><comment>this is a comment</comment></data>
-    <data name="Color1" type="System.Drawing.Color, System.Drawing">Blue</data>
-    <data name="Bitmap1" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded serialized .NET Framework object]</value>
-    </data>
-    <data name="Icon1" type="System.Drawing.Icon, System.Drawing" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded string representing a byte array form of the .NET Framework object]</value>
-        <comment>This is a comment</comment>
-    </data>
-                
-    There are any number of "resheader" rows that contain simple 
-    name/value pairs.
-    
-    Each data row contains a name, and value. The row also contains a 
-    type or mimetype. Type corresponds to a .NET class that support 
-    text/value conversion through the TypeConverter architecture. 
-    Classes that don't support this are serialized and stored with the 
-    mimetype set.
-    
-    The mimetype is used for serialized objects, and tells the 
-    ResXResourceReader how to depersist the object. This is currently not 
-    extensible. For a given mimetype the value must be set accordingly:
-    
-    Note - application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64 is the format 
-    that the ResXResourceWriter will generate, however the reader can 
-    read any of the formats listed below.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.soap.base64

-    Microsoft ResX Schema 
-    
-    Version 2.0
-    
-    The primary goals of this format is to allow a simple XML format 
-    that is mostly human readable. The generation and parsing of the 
-    various data types are done through the TypeConverter classes 
-    associated with the data types.
-    
-    Example:
-    
-    ... ado.net/XML headers & schema ...
-    <resheader name="resmimetype">text/microsoft-resx</resheader>
-    <resheader name="version">2.0</resheader>
-    <resheader name="reader">System.Resources.ResXResourceReader, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <resheader name="writer">System.Resources.ResXResourceWriter, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <data name="Name1"><value>this is my long string</value><comment>this is a comment</comment></data>
-    <data name="Color1" type="System.Drawing.Color, System.Drawing">Blue</data>
-    <data name="Bitmap1" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded serialized .NET Framework object]</value>
-    </data>
-    <data name="Icon1" type="System.Drawing.Icon, System.Drawing" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded string representing a byte array form of the .NET Framework object]</value>
-        <comment>This is a comment</comment>
-    </data>
-                
-    There are any number of "resheader" rows that contain simple 
-    name/value pairs.
-    
-    Each data row contains a name, and value. The row also contains a 
-    type or mimetype. Type corresponds to a .NET class that support 
-    text/value conversion through the TypeConverter architecture. 
-    Classes that don't support this are serialized and stored with the 
-    mimetype set.
-    
-    The mimetype is used for serialized objects, and tells the 
-    ResXResourceReader how to depersist the object. This is currently not 
-    extensible. For a given mimetype the value must be set accordingly:
-    
-    Note - application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64 is the format 
-    that the ResXResourceWriter will generate, however the reader can 
-    read any of the formats listed below.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.soap.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Soap.SoapFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized into a byte array 
-            : using a System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.

-  <!-- 
-    Microsoft ResX Schema 
-    
-    Version 2.0
-    
-    The primary goals of this format is to allow a simple XML format 
-    that is mostly human readable. The generation and parsing of the 
-    various data types are done through the TypeConverter classes 
-    associated with the data types.
-    
-    Example:
-    
-    ... ado.net/XML headers & schema ...
-    <resheader name="resmimetype">text/microsoft-resx</resheader>
-    <resheader name="version">2.0</resheader>
-    <resheader name="reader">System.Resources.ResXResourceReader, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <resheader name="writer">System.Resources.ResXResourceWriter, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <data name="Name1"><value>this is my long string</value><comment>this is a comment</comment></data>
-    <data name="Color1" type="System.Drawing.Color, System.Drawing">Blue</data>
-    <data name="Bitmap1" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded serialized .NET Framework object]</value>
-    </data>
-    <data name="Icon1" type="System.Drawing.Icon, System.Drawing" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded string representing a byte array form of the .NET Framework object]</value>
-        <comment>This is a comment</comment>
-    </data>
-                
-    There are any number of "resheader" rows that contain simple 
-    name/value pairs.
-    
-    Each data row contains a name, and value. The row also contains a 
-    type or mimetype. Type corresponds to a .NET class that support 
-    text/value conversion through the TypeConverter architecture. 
-    Classes that don't support this are serialized and stored with the 
-    mimetype set.
-    
-    The mimetype is used for serialized objects, and tells the 
-    ResXResourceReader how to depersist the object. This is currently not 
-    extensible. For a given mimetype the value must be set accordingly:
-    
-    Note - application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64 is the format 
-    that the ResXResourceWriter will generate, however the reader can 
-    read any of the formats listed below.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.soap.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Soap.SoapFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized into a byte array 
-            : using a System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.

-           This sample shows how to use DrawingVisual objects -- 
-           in this case, a rectangle, text, and circle object. 
-           The three DrawingVisual objects displayed below are 
-           contained by a user-defined host visual object.
-           
-           Although the DrawingVisual objects do not support event handling, 
-           the host visual object can handle events and provide hit testing
-           for the child DrawingVisual objects. Try clicking 
-           on all three DrawingVisual objects -- the opacity value switches
-           between 1.0 and 0.4 on a successful hit test for the object.</TextBlock>

-  <!-- 
-    Microsoft ResX Schema 
-    
-    Version 2.0
-    
-    The primary goals of this format is to allow a simple XML format 
-    that is mostly human readable. The generation and parsing of the 
-    various data types are done through the TypeConverter classes 
-    associated with the data types.
-    
-    Example:
-    
-    ... ado.net/XML headers & schema ...
-    <resheader name="resmimetype">text/microsoft-resx</resheader>
-    <resheader name="version">2.0</resheader>
-    <resheader name="reader">System.Resources.ResXResourceReader, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <resheader name="writer">System.Resources.ResXResourceWriter, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <data name="Name1"><value>this is my long string</value><comment>this is a comment</comment></data>
-    <data name="Color1" type="System.Drawing.Color, System.Drawing">Blue</data>
-    <data name="Bitmap1" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded serialized .NET Framework object]</value>
-    </data>
-    <data name="Icon1" type="System.Drawing.Icon, System.Drawing" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded string representing a byte array form of the .NET Framework object]</value>
-        <comment>This is a comment</comment>
-    </data>
-                
-    There are any number of "resheader" rows that contain simple 
-    name/value pairs.
-    
-    Each data row contains a name, and value. The row also contains a 
-    type or mimetype. Type corresponds to a .NET class that support 
-    text/value conversion through the TypeConverter architecture. 
-    Classes that don't support this are serialized and stored with the 
-    mimetype set.
-    
-    The mimetype is used for serialized objects, and tells the 
-    ResXResourceReader how to depersist the object. This is currently not 
-    extensible. For a given mimetype the value must be set accordingly:
-    
-    Note - application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64 is the format 
-    that the ResXResourceWriter will generate, however the reader can 
-    read any of the formats listed below.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.soap.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Soap.SoapFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized into a byte array 
-            : using a System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.

-  <!-- 
-    Microsoft ResX Schema 
-    
-    Version 2.0
-    
-    The primary goals of this format is to allow a simple XML format 
-    that is mostly human readable. The generation and parsing of the 
-    various data types are done through the TypeConverter classes 
-    associated with the data types.
-    
-    Example:
-    
-    ... ado.net/XML headers & schema ...
-    <resheader name="resmimetype">text/microsoft-resx</resheader>
-    <resheader name="version">2.0</resheader>
-    <resheader name="reader">System.Resources.ResXResourceReader, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <resheader name="writer">System.Resources.ResXResourceWriter, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <data name="Name1"><value>this is my long string</value><comment>this is a comment</comment></data>
-    <data name="Color1" type="System.Drawing.Color, System.Drawing">Blue</data>
-    <data name="Bitmap1" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded serialized .NET Framework object]</value>
-    </data>
-    <data name="Icon1" type="System.Drawing.Icon, System.Drawing" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded string representing a byte array form of the .NET Framework object]</value>
-        <comment>This is a comment</comment>
-    </data>
-                
-    There are any number of "resheader" rows that contain simple 
-    name/value pairs.
-    
-    Each data row contains a name, and value. The row also contains a 
-    type or mimetype. Type corresponds to a .NET class that support 
-    text/value conversion through the TypeConverter architecture. 
-    Classes that don't support this are serialized and stored with the 
-    mimetype set.
-    
-    The mimetype is used for serialized objects, and tells the 
-    ResXResourceReader how to depersist the object. This is currently not 
-    extensible. For a given mimetype the value must be set accordingly:
-    
-    Note - application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64 is the format 
-    that the ResXResourceWriter will generate, however the reader can 
-    read any of the formats listed below.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.soap.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Soap.SoapFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized into a byte array 
-            : using a System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.

-  <!-- 
-    Microsoft ResX Schema 
-    
-    Version 2.0
-    
-    The primary goals of this format is to allow a simple XML format 
-    that is mostly human readable. The generation and parsing of the 
-    various data types are done through the TypeConverter classes 
-    associated with the data types.
-    
-    Example:
-    
-    ... ado.net/XML headers & schema ...
-    <resheader name="resmimetype">text/microsoft-resx</resheader>
-    <resheader name="version">2.0</resheader>
-    <resheader name="reader">System.Resources.ResXResourceReader, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <resheader name="writer">System.Resources.ResXResourceWriter, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <data name="Name1"><value>this is my long string</value><comment>this is a comment</comment></data>
-    <data name="Color1" type="System.Drawing.Color, System.Drawing">Blue</data>
-    <data name="Bitmap1" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded serialized .NET Framework object]</value>
-    </data>
-    <data name="Icon1" type="System.Drawing.Icon, System.Drawing" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded string representing a byte array form of the .NET Framework object]</value>
-        <comment>This is a comment</comment>
-    </data>
-                
-    There are any number of "resheader" rows that contain simple 
-    name/value pairs.
-    
-    Each data row contains a name, and value. The row also contains a 
-    type or mimetype. Type corresponds to a .NET class that support 
-    text/value conversion through the TypeConverter architecture. 
-    Classes that don't support this are serialized and stored with the 
-    mimetype set.
-    
-    The mimetype is used for serialized objects, and tells the 
-    ResXResourceReader how to depersist the object. This is currently not 
-    extensible. For a given mimetype the value must be set accordingly:
-    
-    Note - application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64 is the format 
-    that the ResXResourceWriter will generate, however the reader can 
-    read any of the formats listed below.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.soap.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Soap.SoapFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized into a byte array 
-            : using a System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.

-.NET Framework 3.0 XAML Browser Application Readme
-----------------------------------
-XAML Browser Applications run in a sandbox with "Internet Permissions".
-Only those .NET Framework 3.0 features that have been successfully security reviewed and validated as safe by the .NET Framework 3.0 team will run inside the sandbox.
-
-.NET Framework 3.0 Item Templates - which work in the sandbox?
---------------------------------------------------------
-Won't work by design - .NET Framework 3.0 Window - In the internet zone, you don't have the permission to "popup" new windows.
-
-Debugging XAML Browser Applications - (F5)
---------------------------------------------------------
-In order to successfully debug an XAML Browser Application in Visual Studio, you must enable unmanaged code debugging
-via the Debug page in the Properties view. Developers using Visual C# and Visual Basic Express do not need to do this.
-
-The first time that this project is debugged, a dialog may appear stating that there 
-is no debug information available for PresentationHost.exe.  This dialog can be
-safely dismissed.

-  <!-- 
-    Microsoft ResX Schema 
-    
-    Version 2.0
-    
-    The primary goals of this format is to allow a simple XML format 
-    that is mostly human readable. The generation and parsing of the 
-    various data types are done through the TypeConverter classes 
-    associated with the data types.
-    
-    Example:
-    
-    ... ado.net/XML headers & schema ...
-    <resheader name="resmimetype">text/microsoft-resx</resheader>
-    <resheader name="version">2.0</resheader>
-    <resheader name="reader">System.Resources.ResXResourceReader, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <resheader name="writer">System.Resources.ResXResourceWriter, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <data name="Name1"><value>this is my long string</value><comment>this is a comment</comment></data>
-    <data name="Color1" type="System.Drawing.Color, System.Drawing">Blue</data>
-    <data name="Bitmap1" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded serialized .NET Framework object]</value>
-    </data>
-    <data name="Icon1" type="System.Drawing.Icon, System.Drawing" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded string representing a byte array form of the .NET Framework object]</value>
-        <comment>This is a comment</comment>
-    </data>
-                
-    There are any number of "resheader" rows that contain simple 
-    name/value pairs.
-    
-    Each data row contains a name, and value. The row also contains a 
-    type or mimetype. Type corresponds to a .NET class that support 
-    text/value conversion through the TypeConverter architecture. 
-    Classes that don't support this are serialized and stored with the 
-    mimetype set.
-    
-    The mimetype is used for serialized objects, and tells the 
-    ResXResourceReader how to depersist the object. This is currently not 
-    extensible. For a given mimetype the value must be set accordingly:
-    
-    Note - application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64 is the format 
-    that the ResXResourceWriter will generate, however the reader can 
-    read any of the formats listed below.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.soap.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Soap.SoapFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized into a byte array 
-            : using a System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.

-  <!-- 
-    Microsoft ResX Schema 
-    
-    Version 2.0
-    
-    The primary goals of this format is to allow a simple XML format 
-    that is mostly human readable. The generation and parsing of the 
-    various data types are done through the TypeConverter classes 
-    associated with the data types.
-    
-    Example:
-    
-    ... ado.net/XML headers & schema ...
-    <resheader name="resmimetype">text/microsoft-resx</resheader>
-    <resheader name="version">2.0</resheader>
-    <resheader name="reader">System.Resources.ResXResourceReader, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <resheader name="writer">System.Resources.ResXResourceWriter, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <data name="Name1"><value>this is my long string</value><comment>this is a comment</comment></data>
-    <data name="Color1" type="System.Drawing.Color, System.Drawing">Blue</data>
-    <data name="Bitmap1" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded serialized .NET Framework object]</value>
-    </data>
-    <data name="Icon1" type="System.Drawing.Icon, System.Drawing" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded string representing a byte array form of the .NET Framework object]</value>
-        <comment>This is a comment</comment>
-    </data>
-                
-    There are any number of "resheader" rows that contain simple 
-    name/value pairs.
-    
-    Each data row contains a name, and value. The row also contains a 
-    type or mimetype. Type corresponds to a .NET class that support 
-    text/value conversion through the TypeConverter architecture. 
-    Classes that don't support this are serialized and stored with the 
-    mimetype set.
-    
-    The mimetype is used for serialized objects, and tells the 
-    ResXResourceReader how to depersist the object. This is currently not 
-    extensible. For a given mimetype the value must be set accordingly:
-    
-    Note - application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64 is the format 
-    that the ResXResourceWriter will generate, however the reader can 
-    read any of the formats listed below.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.soap.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Soap.SoapFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized into a byte array 
-            : using a System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.

-name: "Async Sample: Asynchronous Programming with Async and Await in C#"
-urlFragment: "async-and-await-cs"
-description: "A .NET Core WPF application that contains the example method from Asynchronous Progamming with Async and Await in C#."
----
-# Async programming with async and await in C\#
-
-This sample is a WPF application written in C# that contains the example method from [Task asynchronous programming model](https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/csharp/programming-guide/concepts/async/task-asynchronous-programming-model). The article gives an overview of asynchronous programming, including when to use it and how to write an async method. This sample contains an async function that is used as an illustration.
-
-[async](https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/csharp/language-reference/keywords/async) and [await](https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/csharp/language-reference/keywords/await) provide all the advantages of traditional asynchronous programming, but with much less effort from the developer. The compiler does the difficult work that the developer used to do, yet the code retains a logical structure that resembles synchronous code.
-
-The example async function in this sample (named `GetStringAsync`) uses an [HttpClient](https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/api/system.net.http.httpclient) method to download the contents of a website.
-
-The code for the *MainWindow.xaml.cs* file from this sample is included in the article.
-
-## Sample prerequisites
-
-This sample is written in C# and targets .NET Core 3.1 running on Windows. It requires the [.NET Core 3.1 SDK](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet/3.1).
-
-## Building the sample
-
-To download and run the sample, follow these steps:
-
-1. Download and unzip the sample.
-
-2. In Visual Studio (2019 or later):
-
-    1. On the menu bar, choose **File** > **Open** > **Project/Solution**.
-
-    2. Navigate to the folder that holds the unzipped sample code, and open the c# project (.csproj) file.
-
-    3. Choose the <kbd>F5</kbd> key to run with debugging, or <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>F5</kbd> keys to run the project without debugging.
-
-3. From the command line:
-
-   1. Navigate to the folder that holds the unzipped sample code.
-
-   2. At the command line, type `dotnet run`.

-    Microsoft ResX Schema 
-    
-    Version 2.0
-    
-    The primary goals of this format is to allow a simple XML format 
-    that is mostly human readable. The generation and parsing of the 
-    various data types are done through the TypeConverter classes 
-    associated with the data types.
-    
-    Example:
-    
-    ... ado.net/XML headers & schema ...
-    <resheader name="resmimetype">text/microsoft-resx</resheader>
-    <resheader name="version">2.0</resheader>
-    <resheader name="reader">System.Resources.ResXResourceReader, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <resheader name="writer">System.Resources.ResXResourceWriter, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <data name="Name1"><value>this is my long string</value><comment>this is a comment</comment></data>
-    <data name="Color1" type="System.Drawing.Color, System.Drawing">Blue</data>
-    <data name="Bitmap1" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded serialized .NET Framework object]</value>
-    </data>
-    <data name="Icon1" type="System.Drawing.Icon, System.Drawing" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded string representing a byte array form of the .NET Framework object]</value>
-        <comment>This is a comment</comment>
-    </data>
-                
-    There are any number of "resheader" rows that contain simple 
-    name/value pairs.
-    
-    Each data row contains a name, and value. The row also contains a 
-    type or mimetype. Type corresponds to a .NET class that support 
-    text/value conversion through the TypeConverter architecture. 
-    Classes that don't support this are serialized and stored with the 
-    mimetype set.
-    
-    The mimetype is used for serialized objects, and tells the 
-    ResXResourceReader how to depersist the object. This is currently not 
-    extensible. For a given mimetype the value must be set accordingly:
-    
-    Note - application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64 is the format 
-    that the ResXResourceWriter will generate, however the reader can 
-    read any of the formats listed below.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.soap.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Soap.SoapFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized into a byte array 
-            : using a System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter

-    Microsoft ResX Schema 
-    
-    Version 2.0
-    
-    The primary goals of this format is to allow a simple XML format 
-    that is mostly human readable. The generation and parsing of the 
-    various data types are done through the TypeConverter classes 
-    associated with the data types.
-    
-    Example:
-    
-    ... ado.net/XML headers & schema ...
-    <resheader name="resmimetype">text/microsoft-resx</resheader>
-    <resheader name="version">2.0</resheader>
-    <resheader name="reader">System.Resources.ResXResourceReader, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <resheader name="writer">System.Resources.ResXResourceWriter, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <data name="Name1"><value>this is my long string</value><comment>this is a comment</comment></data>
-    <data name="Color1" type="System.Drawing.Color, System.Drawing">Blue</data>
-    <data name="Bitmap1" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded serialized .NET Framework object]</value>
-    </data>
-    <data name="Icon1" type="System.Drawing.Icon, System.Drawing" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded string representing a byte array form of the .NET Framework object]</value>
-        <comment>This is a comment</comment>
-    </data>
-                
-    There are any number of "resheader" rows that contain simple 
-    name/value pairs.
-    
-    Each data row contains a name, and value. The row also contains a 
-    type or mimetype. Type corresponds to a .NET class that support 
-    text/value conversion through the TypeConverter architecture. 
-    Classes that don't support this are serialized and stored with the 
-    mimetype set.
-    
-    The mimetype is used for serialized objects, and tells the 
-    ResXResourceReader how to depersist the object. This is currently not 
-    extensible. For a given mimetype the value must be set accordingly:
-    
-    Note - application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64 is the format 
-    that the ResXResourceWriter will generate, however the reader can 
-    read any of the formats listed below.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.soap.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Soap.SoapFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized into a byte array 
-            : using a System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.

-  <!-- 
-    Microsoft ResX Schema 
-    
-    Version 2.0
-    
-    The primary goals of this format is to allow a simple XML format 
-    that is mostly human readable. The generation and parsing of the 
-    various data types are done through the TypeConverter classes 
-    associated with the data types.
-    
-    Example:
-    
-    ... ado.net/XML headers & schema ...
-    <resheader name="resmimetype">text/microsoft-resx</resheader>
-    <resheader name="version">2.0</resheader>
-    <resheader name="reader">System.Resources.ResXResourceReader, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <resheader name="writer">System.Resources.ResXResourceWriter, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <data name="Name1"><value>this is my long string</value><comment>this is a comment</comment></data>
-    <data name="Color1" type="System.Drawing.Color, System.Drawing">Blue</data>
-    <data name="Bitmap1" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded serialized .NET Framework object]</value>
-    </data>
-    <data name="Icon1" type="System.Drawing.Icon, System.Drawing" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded string representing a byte array form of the .NET Framework object]</value>
-        <comment>This is a comment</comment>
-    </data>
-                
-    There are any number of "resheader" rows that contain simple 
-    name/value pairs.
-    
-    Each data row contains a name, and value. The row also contains a 
-    type or mimetype. Type corresponds to a .NET class that support 
-    text/value conversion through the TypeConverter architecture. 
-    Classes that don't support this are serialized and stored with the 
-    mimetype set.
-    
-    The mimetype is used for serialized objects, and tells the 
-    ResXResourceReader how to depersist the object. This is currently not 
-    extensible. For a given mimetype the value must be set accordingly:
-    
-    Note - application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64 is the format 
-    that the ResXResourceWriter will generate, however the reader can 
-    read any of the formats listed below.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.soap.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Soap.SoapFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized into a byte array 
-            : using a System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.

-  <!-- 
-    Microsoft ResX Schema 
-    
-    Version 2.0
-    
-    The primary goals of this format is to allow a simple XML format 
-    that is mostly human readable. The generation and parsing of the 
-    various data types are done through the TypeConverter classes 
-    associated with the data types.
-    
-    Example:
-    
-    ... ado.net/XML headers & schema ...
-    <resheader name="resmimetype">text/microsoft-resx</resheader>
-    <resheader name="version">2.0</resheader>
-    <resheader name="reader">System.Resources.ResXResourceReader, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <resheader name="writer">System.Resources.ResXResourceWriter, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <data name="Name1"><value>this is my long string</value><comment>this is a comment</comment></data>
-    <data name="Color1" type="System.Drawing.Color, System.Drawing">Blue</data>
-    <data name="Bitmap1" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded serialized .NET Framework object]</value>
-    </data>
-    <data name="Icon1" type="System.Drawing.Icon, System.Drawing" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded string representing a byte array form of the .NET Framework object]</value>
-        <comment>This is a comment</comment>
-    </data>
-                
-    There are any number of "resheader" rows that contain simple 
-    name/value pairs.
-    
-    Each data row contains a name, and value. The row also contains a 
-    type or mimetype. Type corresponds to a .NET class that support 
-    text/value conversion through the TypeConverter architecture. 
-    Classes that don't support this are serialized and stored with the 
-    mimetype set.
-    
-    The mimetype is used for serialized objects, and tells the 
-    ResXResourceReader how to depersist the object. This is currently not 
-    extensible. For a given mimetype the value must be set accordingly:
-    
-    Note - application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64 is the format 
-    that the ResXResourceWriter will generate, however the reader can 
-    read any of the formats listed below.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.soap.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Soap.SoapFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized into a byte array 
-            : using a System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.

-  <!-- 
-    Microsoft ResX Schema 
-    
-    Version 2.0
-    
-    The primary goals of this format is to allow a simple XML format 
-    that is mostly human readable. The generation and parsing of the 
-    various data types are done through the TypeConverter classes 
-    associated with the data types.
-    
-    Example:
-    
-    ... ado.net/XML headers & schema ...
-    <resheader name="resmimetype">text/microsoft-resx</resheader>
-    <resheader name="version">2.0</resheader>
-    <resheader name="reader">System.Resources.ResXResourceReader, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <resheader name="writer">System.Resources.ResXResourceWriter, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <data name="Name1"><value>this is my long string</value><comment>this is a comment</comment></data>
-    <data name="Color1" type="System.Drawing.Color, System.Drawing">Blue</data>
-    <data name="Bitmap1" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded serialized .NET Framework object]</value>
-    </data>
-    <data name="Icon1" type="System.Drawing.Icon, System.Drawing" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded string representing a byte array form of the .NET Framework object]</value>
-        <comment>This is a comment</comment>
-    </data>
-                
-    There are any number of "resheader" rows that contain simple 
-    name/value pairs.
-    
-    Each data row contains a name, and value. The row also contains a 
-    type or mimetype. Type corresponds to a .NET class that support 
-    text/value conversion through the TypeConverter architecture. 
-    Classes that don't support this are serialized and stored with the 
-    mimetype set.
-    
-    The mimetype is used for serialized objects, and tells the 
-    ResXResourceReader how to depersist the object. This is currently not 
-    extensible. For a given mimetype the value must be set accordingly:
-    
-    Note - application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64 is the format 
-    that the ResXResourceWriter will generate, however the reader can 
-    read any of the formats listed below.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.soap.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Soap.SoapFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized into a byte array 
-            : using a System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.

-  <!-- 
-    Microsoft ResX Schema 
-    
-    Version 2.0
-    
-    The primary goals of this format is to allow a simple XML format 
-    that is mostly human readable. The generation and parsing of the 
-    various data types are done through the TypeConverter classes 
-    associated with the data types.
-    
-    Example:
-    
-    ... ado.net/XML headers & schema ...
-    <resheader name="resmimetype">text/microsoft-resx</resheader>
-    <resheader name="version">2.0</resheader>
-    <resheader name="reader">System.Resources.ResXResourceReader, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <resheader name="writer">System.Resources.ResXResourceWriter, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <data name="Name1"><value>this is my long string</value><comment>this is a comment</comment></data>
-    <data name="Color1" type="System.Drawing.Color, System.Drawing">Blue</data>
-    <data name="Bitmap1" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded serialized .NET Framework object]</value>
-    </data>
-    <data name="Icon1" type="System.Drawing.Icon, System.Drawing" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded string representing a byte array form of the .NET Framework object]</value>
-        <comment>This is a comment</comment>
-    </data>
-                
-    There are any number of "resheader" rows that contain simple 
-    name/value pairs.
-    
-    Each data row contains a name, and value. The row also contains a 
-    type or mimetype. Type corresponds to a .NET class that support 
-    text/value conversion through the TypeConverter architecture. 
-    Classes that don't support this are serialized and stored with the 
-    mimetype set.
-    
-    The mimetype is used for serialized objects, and tells the 
-    ResXResourceReader how to depersist the object. This is currently not 
-    extensible. For a given mimetype the value must be set accordingly:
-    
-    Note - application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64 is the format 
-    that the ResXResourceWriter will generate, however the reader can 
-    read any of the formats listed below.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.soap.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Soap.SoapFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized into a byte array 
-            : using a System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.

-  <!-- 
-    Microsoft ResX Schema 
-    
-    Version 2.0
-    
-    The primary goals of this format is to allow a simple XML format 
-    that is mostly human readable. The generation and parsing of the 
-    various data types are done through the TypeConverter classes 
-    associated with the data types.
-    
-    Example:
-    
-    ... ado.net/XML headers & schema ...
-    <resheader name="resmimetype">text/microsoft-resx</resheader>
-    <resheader name="version">2.0</resheader>
-    <resheader name="reader">System.Resources.ResXResourceReader, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <resheader name="writer">System.Resources.ResXResourceWriter, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <data name="Name1"><value>this is my long string</value><comment>this is a comment</comment></data>
-    <data name="Color1" type="System.Drawing.Color, System.Drawing">Blue</data>
-    <data name="Bitmap1" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded serialized .NET Framework object]</value>
-    </data>
-    <data name="Icon1" type="System.Drawing.Icon, System.Drawing" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded string representing a byte array form of the .NET Framework object]</value>
-        <comment>This is a comment</comment>
-    </data>
-                
-    There are any number of "resheader" rows that contain simple 
-    name/value pairs.
-    
-    Each data row contains a name, and value. The row also contains a 
-    type or mimetype. Type corresponds to a .NET class that support 
-    text/value conversion through the TypeConverter architecture. 
-    Classes that don't support this are serialized and stored with the 
-    mimetype set.
-    
-    The mimetype is used for serialized objects, and tells the 
-    ResXResourceReader how to depersist the object. This is currently not 
-    extensible. For a given mimetype the value must be set accordingly:
-    
-    Note - application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64 is the format 
-    that the ResXResourceWriter will generate, however the reader can 
-    read any of the formats listed below.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.soap.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Soap.SoapFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized into a byte array 
-            : using a System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.

-  <!-- 
-    Microsoft ResX Schema 
-    
-    Version 2.0
-    
-    The primary goals of this format is to allow a simple XML format 
-    that is mostly human readable. The generation and parsing of the 
-    various data types are done through the TypeConverter classes 
-    associated with the data types.
-    
-    Example:
-    
-    ... ado.net/XML headers & schema ...
-    <resheader name="resmimetype">text/microsoft-resx</resheader>
-    <resheader name="version">2.0</resheader>
-    <resheader name="reader">System.Resources.ResXResourceReader, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <resheader name="writer">System.Resources.ResXResourceWriter, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <data name="Name1"><value>this is my long string</value><comment>this is a comment</comment></data>
-    <data name="Color1" type="System.Drawing.Color, System.Drawing">Blue</data>
-    <data name="Bitmap1" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded serialized .NET Framework object]</value>
-    </data>
-    <data name="Icon1" type="System.Drawing.Icon, System.Drawing" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded string representing a byte array form of the .NET Framework object]</value>
-        <comment>This is a comment</comment>
-    </data>
-                
-    There are any number of "resheader" rows that contain simple 
-    name/value pairs.
-    
-    Each data row contains a name, and value. The row also contains a 
-    type or mimetype. Type corresponds to a .NET class that support 
-    text/value conversion through the TypeConverter architecture. 
-    Classes that don't support this are serialized and stored with the 
-    mimetype set.
-    
-    The mimetype is used for serialized objects, and tells the 
-    ResXResourceReader how to depersist the object. This is currently not 
-    extensible. For a given mimetype the value must be set accordingly:
-    
-    Note - application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64 is the format 
-    that the ResXResourceWriter will generate, however the reader can 
-    read any of the formats listed below.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.soap.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Soap.SoapFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized into a byte array 
-            : using a System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.

-  <!-- 
-    Microsoft ResX Schema 
-    
-    Version 2.0
-    
-    The primary goals of this format is to allow a simple XML format 
-    that is mostly human readable. The generation and parsing of the 
-    various data types are done through the TypeConverter classes 
-    associated with the data types.
-    
-    Example:
-    
-    ... ado.net/XML headers & schema ...
-    <resheader name="resmimetype">text/microsoft-resx</resheader>
-    <resheader name="version">2.0</resheader>
-    <resheader name="reader">System.Resources.ResXResourceReader, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <resheader name="writer">System.Resources.ResXResourceWriter, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <data name="Name1"><value>this is my long string</value><comment>this is a comment</comment></data>
-    <data name="Color1" type="System.Drawing.Color, System.Drawing">Blue</data>
-    <data name="Bitmap1" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded serialized .NET Framework object]</value>
-    </data>
-    <data name="Icon1" type="System.Drawing.Icon, System.Drawing" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded string representing a byte array form of the .NET Framework object]</value>
-        <comment>This is a comment</comment>
-    </data>
-                
-    There are any number of "resheader" rows that contain simple 
-    name/value pairs.
-    
-    Each data row contains a name, and value. The row also contains a 
-    type or mimetype. Type corresponds to a .NET class that support 
-    text/value conversion through the TypeConverter architecture. 
-    Classes that don't support this are serialized and stored with the 
-    mimetype set.
-    
-    The mimetype is used for serialized objects, and tells the 
-    ResXResourceReader how to depersist the object. This is currently not 
-    extensible. For a given mimetype the value must be set accordingly:
-    
-    Note - application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64 is the format 
-    that the ResXResourceWriter will generate, however the reader can 
-    read any of the formats listed below.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.soap.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Soap.SoapFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized into a byte array 
-            : using a System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.

-    Microsoft ResX Schema 
-    
-    Version 2.0
-    
-    The primary goals of this format is to allow a simple XML format 
-    that is mostly human readable. The generation and parsing of the 
-    various data types are done through the TypeConverter classes 
-    associated with the data types.
-    
-    Example:
-    
-    ... ado.net/XML headers & schema ...
-    <resheader name="resmimetype">text/microsoft-resx</resheader>
-    <resheader name="version">2.0</resheader>
-    <resheader name="reader">System.Resources.ResXResourceReader, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <resheader name="writer">System.Resources.ResXResourceWriter, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <data name="Name1"><value>this is my long string</value><comment>this is a comment</comment></data>
-    <data name="Color1" type="System.Drawing.Color, System.Drawing">Blue</data>
-    <data name="Bitmap1" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded serialized .NET Framework object]</value>
-    </data>
-    <data name="Icon1" type="System.Drawing.Icon, System.Drawing" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded string representing a byte array form of the .NET Framework object]</value>
-        <comment>This is a comment</comment>
-    </data>
-                
-    There are any number of "resheader" rows that contain simple 
-    name/value pairs.
-    
-    Each data row contains a name, and value. The row also contains a 
-    type or mimetype. Type corresponds to a .NET class that support 
-    text/value conversion through the TypeConverter architecture. 
-    Classes that don't support this are serialized and stored with the 
-    mimetype set.
-    
-    The mimetype is used for serialized objects, and tells the 
-    ResXResourceReader how to depersist the object. This is currently not 
-    extensible. For a given mimetype the value must be set accordingly:
-    
-    Note - application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64 is the format 
-    that the ResXResourceWriter will generate, however the reader can 
-    read any of the formats listed below.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.soap.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Soap.SoapFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized into a byte array 
-            : using a System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.

-    There are any number of "resheader" rows that contain simple 
-    name/value pairs.
-    
-    Each data row contains a name, and value. The row also contains a 
-    type or mimetype. Type corresponds to a .NET class that support 
-    text/value conversion through the TypeConverter architecture. 
-    Classes that don't support this are serialized and stored with the 
-    mimetype set.
-    
-    The mimetype is used for serialized objects, and tells the 
-    ResXResourceReader how to depersist the object. This is currently not 
-    extensible. For a given mimetype the value must be set accordingly:
-    
-    Note - application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64 is the format 
-    that the ResXResourceWriter will generate, however the reader can 
-    read any of the formats listed below.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.soap.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Soap.SoapFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized into a byte array 
-            : using a System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.

-    Microsoft ResX Schema 
-    
-    Version 2.0
-    
-    The primary goals of this format is to allow a simple XML format 
-    that is mostly human readable. The generation and parsing of the 
-    various data types are done through the TypeConverter classes 
-    associated with the data types.
-    
-    Example:
-    
-    ... ado.net/XML headers & schema ...
-    <resheader name="resmimetype">text/microsoft-resx</resheader>
-    <resheader name="version">2.0</resheader>
-    <resheader name="reader">System.Resources.ResXResourceReader, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <resheader name="writer">System.Resources.ResXResourceWriter, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <data name="Name1"><value>this is my long string</value><comment>this is a comment</comment></data>
-    <data name="Color1" type="System.Drawing.Color, System.Drawing">Blue</data>
-    <data name="Bitmap1" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded serialized .NET Framework object]</value>
-    </data>
-    <data name="Icon1" type="System.Drawing.Icon, System.Drawing" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded string representing a byte array form of the .NET Framework object]</value>
-        <comment>This is a comment</comment>
-    </data>
-                
-    There are any number of "resheader" rows that contain simple 
-    name/value pairs.
-    
-    Each data row contains a name, and value. The row also contains a 
-    type or mimetype. Type corresponds to a .NET class that support 
-    text/value conversion through the TypeConverter architecture. 
-    Classes that don't support this are serialized and stored with the 
-    mimetype set.
-    
-    The mimetype is used for serialized objects, and tells the 
-    ResXResourceReader how to depersist the object. This is currently not 
-    extensible. For a given mimetype the value must be set accordingly:
-    
-    Note - application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64 is the format 
-    that the ResXResourceWriter will generate, however the reader can 
-    read any of the formats listed below.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.soap.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Soap.SoapFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized into a byte array 
-            : using a System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.

-  <!-- 
-    Microsoft ResX Schema 
-    
-    Version 2.0
-    
-    The primary goals of this format is to allow a simple XML format 
-    that is mostly human readable. The generation and parsing of the 
-    various data types are done through the TypeConverter classes 
-    associated with the data types.
-    
-    Example:
-    
-    ... ado.net/XML headers & schema ...
-    <resheader name="resmimetype">text/microsoft-resx</resheader>
-    <resheader name="version">2.0</resheader>
-    <resheader name="reader">System.Resources.ResXResourceReader, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <resheader name="writer">System.Resources.ResXResourceWriter, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <data name="Name1"><value>this is my long string</value><comment>this is a comment</comment></data>
-    <data name="Color1" type="System.Drawing.Color, System.Drawing">Blue</data>
-    <data name="Bitmap1" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded serialized .NET Framework object]</value>
-    </data>
-    <data name="Icon1" type="System.Drawing.Icon, System.Drawing" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded string representing a byte array form of the .NET Framework object]</value>
-        <comment>This is a comment</comment>
-    </data>
-                
-    There are any number of "resheader" rows that contain simple 
-    name/value pairs.
-    
-    Each data row contains a name, and value. The row also contains a 
-    type or mimetype. Type corresponds to a .NET class that support 
-    text/value conversion through the TypeConverter architecture. 
-    Classes that don't support this are serialized and stored with the 
-    mimetype set.
-    
-    The mimetype is used for serialized objects, and tells the 
-    ResXResourceReader how to depersist the object. This is currently not 
-    extensible. For a given mimetype the value must be set accordingly:
-    
-    Note - application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64 is the format 
-    that the ResXResourceWriter will generate, however the reader can 
-    read any of the formats listed below.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.soap.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Soap.SoapFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized into a byte array 
-            : using a System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.

-    Microsoft ResX Schema 
-    
-    Version 2.0
-    
-    The primary goals of this format is to allow a simple XML format 
-    that is mostly human readable. The generation and parsing of the 
-    various data types are done through the TypeConverter classes 
-    associated with the data types.
-    
-    Example:
-    
-    ... ado.net/XML headers & schema ...
-    <resheader name="resmimetype">text/microsoft-resx</resheader>
-    <resheader name="version">2.0</resheader>
-    <resheader name="reader">System.Resources.ResXResourceReader, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <resheader name="writer">System.Resources.ResXResourceWriter, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <data name="Name1"><value>this is my long string</value><comment>this is a comment</comment></data>
-    <data name="Color1" type="System.Drawing.Color, System.Drawing">Blue</data>
-    <data name="Bitmap1" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded serialized .NET Framework object]</value>
-    </data>
-    <data name="Icon1" type="System.Drawing.Icon, System.Drawing" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded string representing a byte array form of the .NET Framework object]</value>
-        <comment>This is a comment</comment>
-    </data>
-                
-    There are any number of "resheader" rows that contain simple 
-    name/value pairs.
-    
-    Each data row contains a name, and value. The row also contains a 
-    type or mimetype. Type corresponds to a .NET class that support 
-    text/value conversion through the TypeConverter architecture. 
-    Classes that don't support this are serialized and stored with the 
-    mimetype set.
-    
-    The mimetype is used for serialized objects, and tells the 
-    ResXResourceReader how to depersist the object. This is currently not 
-    extensible. For a given mimetype the value must be set accordingly:
-    
-    Note - application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64 is the format 
-    that the ResXResourceWriter will generate, however the reader can 
-    read any of the formats listed below.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.soap.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Soap.SoapFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized into a byte array 
-            : using a System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.

-  <!-- 
-    Microsoft ResX Schema 
-    
-    Version 2.0
-    
-    The primary goals of this format is to allow a simple XML format 
-    that is mostly human readable. The generation and parsing of the 
-    various data types are done through the TypeConverter classes 
-    associated with the data types.
-    
-    Example:
-    
-    ... ado.net/XML headers & schema ...
-    <resheader name="resmimetype">text/microsoft-resx</resheader>
-    <resheader name="version">2.0</resheader>
-    <resheader name="reader">System.Resources.ResXResourceReader, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <resheader name="writer">System.Resources.ResXResourceWriter, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <data name="Name1"><value>this is my long string</value><comment>this is a comment</comment></data>
-    <data name="Color1" type="System.Drawing.Color, System.Drawing">Blue</data>
-    <data name="Bitmap1" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded serialized .NET Framework object]</value>
-    </data>
-    <data name="Icon1" type="System.Drawing.Icon, System.Drawing" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded string representing a byte array form of the .NET Framework object]</value>
-        <comment>This is a comment</comment>
-    </data>
-                
-    There are any number of "resheader" rows that contain simple 
-    name/value pairs.
-    
-    Each data row contains a name, and value. The row also contains a 
-    type or mimetype. Type corresponds to a .NET class that support 
-    text/value conversion through the TypeConverter architecture. 
-    Classes that don't support this are serialized and stored with the 
-    mimetype set.
-    
-    The mimetype is used for serialized objects, and tells the 
-    ResXResourceReader how to depersist the object. This is currently not 
-    extensible. For a given mimetype the value must be set accordingly:
-    
-    Note - application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64 is the format 
-    that the ResXResourceWriter will generate, however the reader can 
-    read any of the formats listed below.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.soap.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Soap.SoapFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized into a byte array 
-            : using a System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.

-  <!-- 
-    Microsoft ResX Schema 
-    
-    Version 2.0
-    
-    The primary goals of this format is to allow a simple XML format 
-    that is mostly human readable. The generation and parsing of the 
-    various data types are done through the TypeConverter classes 
-    associated with the data types.
-    
-    Example:
-    
-    ... ado.net/XML headers & schema ...
-    <resheader name="resmimetype">text/microsoft-resx</resheader>
-    <resheader name="version">2.0</resheader>
-    <resheader name="reader">System.Resources.ResXResourceReader, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <resheader name="writer">System.Resources.ResXResourceWriter, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <data name="Name1"><value>this is my long string</value><comment>this is a comment</comment></data>
-    <data name="Color1" type="System.Drawing.Color, System.Drawing">Blue</data>
-    <data name="Bitmap1" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded serialized .NET Framework object]</value>
-    </data>
-    <data name="Icon1" type="System.Drawing.Icon, System.Drawing" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded string representing a byte array form of the .NET Framework object]</value>
-        <comment>This is a comment</comment>
-    </data>
-                
-    There are any number of "resheader" rows that contain simple 
-    name/value pairs.
-    
-    Each data row contains a name, and value. The row also contains a 
-    type or mimetype. Type corresponds to a .NET class that support 
-    text/value conversion through the TypeConverter architecture. 
-    Classes that don't support this are serialized and stored with the 
-    mimetype set.
-    
-    The mimetype is used for serialized objects, and tells the 
-    ResXResourceReader how to depersist the object. This is currently not 
-    extensible. For a given mimetype the value must be set accordingly:
-    
-    Note - application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64 is the format 
-    that the ResXResourceWriter will generate, however the reader can 
-    read any of the formats listed below.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.soap.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Soap.SoapFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized into a byte array 
-            : using a System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.

-  <!-- 
-    Microsoft ResX Schema 
-    
-    Version 2.0
-    
-    The primary goals of this format is to allow a simple XML format 
-    that is mostly human readable. The generation and parsing of the 
-    various data types are done through the TypeConverter classes 
-    associated with the data types.
-    
-    Example:
-    
-    ... ado.net/XML headers & schema ...
-    <resheader name="resmimetype">text/microsoft-resx</resheader>
-    <resheader name="version">2.0</resheader>
-    <resheader name="reader">System.Resources.ResXResourceReader, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <resheader name="writer">System.Resources.ResXResourceWriter, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <data name="Name1"><value>this is my long string</value><comment>this is a comment</comment></data>
-    <data name="Color1" type="System.Drawing.Color, System.Drawing">Blue</data>
-    <data name="Bitmap1" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded serialized .NET Framework object]</value>
-    </data>
-    <data name="Icon1" type="System.Drawing.Icon, System.Drawing" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded string representing a byte array form of the .NET Framework object]</value>
-        <comment>This is a comment</comment>
-    </data>
-                
-    There are any number of "resheader" rows that contain simple 
-    name/value pairs.
-    
-    Each data row contains a name, and value. The row also contains a 
-    type or mimetype. Type corresponds to a .NET class that support 
-    text/value conversion through the TypeConverter architecture. 
-    Classes that don't support this are serialized and stored with the 
-    mimetype set.
-    
-    The mimetype is used for serialized objects, and tells the 
-    ResXResourceReader how to depersist the object. This is currently not 
-    extensible. For a given mimetype the value must be set accordingly:
-    
-    Note - application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64 is the format 
-    that the ResXResourceWriter will generate, however the reader can 
-    read any of the formats listed below.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.soap.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Soap.SoapFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized into a byte array 
-            : using a System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.

-        Brushes have two transformation properties: <Bold>RelativeTransform</Bold> and <Bold>Transform</Bold>.
-        When you set the RelativeTransform property with a transform, it is applied before the brush is
-        stretched to fill the output area. When you set the Transform property, the transform is applied
-        after the brush is stretched to fill the output area. In the following examples, RotateTransforms are applied
-        to the RelativeTransform and Transform properties to demonstrate their differences.

-<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
-<root>
-  <!-- 
-    Microsoft ResX Schema 
-    
-    Version 2.0
-    
-    The primary goals of this format is to allow a simple XML format 
-    that is mostly human readable. The generation and parsing of the 
-    various data types are done through the TypeConverter classes 
-    associated with the data types.
-    
-    Example:
-    
-    ... ado.net/XML headers & schema ...
-    <resheader name="resmimetype">text/microsoft-resx</resheader>
-    <resheader name="version">2.0</resheader>
-    <resheader name="reader">System.Resources.ResXResourceReader, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <resheader name="writer">System.Resources.ResXResourceWriter, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <data name="Name1"><value>this is my long string</value><comment>this is a comment</comment></data>
-    <data name="Color1" type="System.Drawing.Color, System.Drawing">Blue</data>
-    <data name="Bitmap1" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded serialized .NET Framework object]</value>
-    </data>
-    <data name="Icon1" type="System.Drawing.Icon, System.Drawing" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded string representing a byte array form of the .NET Framework object]</value>
-        <comment>This is a comment</comment>
-    </data>
-                
-    There are any number of "resheader" rows that contain simple 
-    name/value pairs.
-    
-    Each data row contains a name, and value. The row also contains a 
-    type or mimetype. Type corresponds to a .NET class that support 
-    text/value conversion through the TypeConverter architecture. 
-    Classes that don't support this are serialized and stored with the 
-    mimetype set.
-    
-    The mimetype is used for serialized objects, and tells the 
-    ResXResourceReader how to depersist the object. This is currently not 
-    extensible. For a given mimetype the value must be set accordingly:
-    
-    Note - application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64 is the format 
-    that the ResXResourceWriter will generate, however the reader can 
-    read any of the formats listed below.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.soap.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Soap.SoapFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized into a byte array 
-            : using a System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.

-  <!-- 
-    Microsoft ResX Schema 
-    
-    Version 2.0
-    
-    The primary goals of this format is to allow a simple XML format 
-    that is mostly human readable. The generation and parsing of the 
-    various data types are done through the TypeConverter classes 
-    associated with the data types.
-    
-    Example:
-    
-    ... ado.net/XML headers & schema ...
-    <resheader name="resmimetype">text/microsoft-resx</resheader>
-    <resheader name="version">2.0</resheader>
-    <resheader name="reader">System.Resources.ResXResourceReader, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <resheader name="writer">System.Resources.ResXResourceWriter, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <data name="Name1"><value>this is my long string</value><comment>this is a comment</comment></data>
-    <data name="Color1" type="System.Drawing.Color, System.Drawing">Blue</data>
-    <data name="Bitmap1" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded serialized .NET Framework object]</value>
-    </data>
-    <data name="Icon1" type="System.Drawing.Icon, System.Drawing" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded string representing a byte array form of the .NET Framework object]</value>
-        <comment>This is a comment</comment>
-    </data>
-                
-    There are any number of "resheader" rows that contain simple 
-    name/value pairs.
-    
-    Each data row contains a name, and value. The row also contains a 
-    type or mimetype. Type corresponds to a .NET class that support 
-    text/value conversion through the TypeConverter architecture. 
-    Classes that don't support this are serialized and stored with the 
-    mimetype set.
-    
-    The mimetype is used for serialized objects, and tells the 
-    ResXResourceReader how to depersist the object. This is currently not 
-    extensible. For a given mimetype the value must be set accordingly:
-    
-    Note - application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64 is the format 
-    that the ResXResourceWriter will generate, however the reader can 
-    read any of the formats listed below.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.soap.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Soap.SoapFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized into a byte array 
-            : using a System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.

-    Microsoft ResX Schema 
-    
-    Version 2.0
-    
-    The primary goals of this format is to allow a simple XML format 
-    that is mostly human readable. The generation and parsing of the 
-    various data types are done through the TypeConverter classes 
-    associated with the data types.
-    
-    Example:
-    
-    ... ado.net/XML headers & schema ...
-    <resheader name="resmimetype">text/microsoft-resx</resheader>
-    <resheader name="version">2.0</resheader>
-    <resheader name="reader">System.Resources.ResXResourceReader, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <resheader name="writer">System.Resources.ResXResourceWriter, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <data name="Name1"><value>this is my long string</value><comment>this is a comment</comment></data>
-    <data name="Color1" type="System.Drawing.Color, System.Drawing">Blue</data>
-    <data name="Bitmap1" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded serialized .NET Framework object]</value>
-    </data>
-    <data name="Icon1" type="System.Drawing.Icon, System.Drawing" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded string representing a byte array form of the .NET Framework object]</value>
-        <comment>This is a comment</comment>
-    </data>
-                
-    There are any number of "resheader" rows that contain simple 
-    name/value pairs.
-    
-    Each data row contains a name, and value. The row also contains a 
-    type or mimetype. Type corresponds to a .NET class that support 
-    text/value conversion through the TypeConverter architecture. 
-    Classes that don't support this are serialized and stored with the 
-    mimetype set.
-    
-    The mimetype is used for serialized objects, and tells the 
-    ResXResourceReader how to depersist the object. This is currently not 
-    extensible. For a given mimetype the value must be set accordingly:
-    
-    Note - application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64 is the format 
-    that the ResXResourceWriter will generate, however the reader can 
-    read any of the formats listed below.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.soap.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Soap.SoapFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized into a byte array 
-            : using a System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.

-  <!-- 
-    Microsoft ResX Schema 
-    
-    Version 2.0
-    
-    The primary goals of this format is to allow a simple XML format 
-    that is mostly human readable. The generation and parsing of the 
-    various data types are done through the TypeConverter classes 
-    associated with the data types.
-    
-    Example:
-    
-    ... ado.net/XML headers & schema ...
-    <resheader name="resmimetype">text/microsoft-resx</resheader>
-    <resheader name="version">2.0</resheader>
-    <resheader name="reader">System.Resources.ResXResourceReader, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <resheader name="writer">System.Resources.ResXResourceWriter, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <data name="Name1"><value>this is my long string</value><comment>this is a comment</comment></data>
-    <data name="Color1" type="System.Drawing.Color, System.Drawing">Blue</data>
-    <data name="Bitmap1" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded serialized .NET Framework object]</value>
-    </data>
-    <data name="Icon1" type="System.Drawing.Icon, System.Drawing" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded string representing a byte array form of the .NET Framework object]</value>
-        <comment>This is a comment</comment>
-    </data>
-                
-    There are any number of "resheader" rows that contain simple 
-    name/value pairs.
-    
-    Each data row contains a name, and value. The row also contains a 
-    type or mimetype. Type corresponds to a .NET class that support 
-    text/value conversion through the TypeConverter architecture. 
-    Classes that don't support this are serialized and stored with the 
-    mimetype set.
-    
-    The mimetype is used for serialized objects, and tells the 
-    ResXResourceReader how to depersist the object. This is currently not 
-    extensible. For a given mimetype the value must be set accordingly:
-    
-    Note - application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64 is the format 
-    that the ResXResourceWriter will generate, however the reader can 
-    read any of the formats listed below.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.soap.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Soap.SoapFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized into a byte array 
-            : using a System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.

-  <!-- 
-    Microsoft ResX Schema 
-    
-    Version 2.0
-    
-    The primary goals of this format is to allow a simple XML format 
-    that is mostly human readable. The generation and parsing of the 
-    various data types are done through the TypeConverter classes 
-    associated with the data types.
-    
-    Example:
-    
-    ... ado.net/XML headers & schema ...
-    <resheader name="resmimetype">text/microsoft-resx</resheader>
-    <resheader name="version">2.0</resheader>
-    <resheader name="reader">System.Resources.ResXResourceReader, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <resheader name="writer">System.Resources.ResXResourceWriter, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <data name="Name1"><value>this is my long string</value><comment>this is a comment</comment></data>
-    <data name="Color1" type="System.Drawing.Color, System.Drawing">Blue</data>
-    <data name="Bitmap1" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded serialized .NET Framework object]</value>
-    </data>
-    <data name="Icon1" type="System.Drawing.Icon, System.Drawing" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded string representing a byte array form of the .NET Framework object]</value>
-        <comment>This is a comment</comment>
-    </data>
-                
-    There are any number of "resheader" rows that contain simple 
-    name/value pairs.
-    
-    Each data row contains a name, and value. The row also contains a 
-    type or mimetype. Type corresponds to a .NET class that support 
-    text/value conversion through the TypeConverter architecture. 
-    Classes that don't support this are serialized and stored with the 
-    mimetype set.
-    
-    The mimetype is used for serialized objects, and tells the 
-    ResXResourceReader how to depersist the object. This is currently not 
-    extensible. For a given mimetype the value must be set accordingly:
-    
-    Note - application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64 is the format 
-    that the ResXResourceWriter will generate, however the reader can 
-    read any of the formats listed below.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.soap.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Soap.SoapFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized into a byte array 
-            : using a System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.

-  <!-- 
-    Microsoft ResX Schema 
-    
-    Version 2.0
-    
-    The primary goals of this format is to allow a simple XML format 
-    that is mostly human readable. The generation and parsing of the 
-    various data types are done through the TypeConverter classes 
-    associated with the data types.
-    
-    Example:
-    
-    ... ado.net/XML headers & schema ...
-    <resheader name="resmimetype">text/microsoft-resx</resheader>
-    <resheader name="version">2.0</resheader>
-    <resheader name="reader">System.Resources.ResXResourceReader, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <resheader name="writer">System.Resources.ResXResourceWriter, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <data name="Name1"><value>this is my long string</value><comment>this is a comment</comment></data>
-    <data name="Color1" type="System.Drawing.Color, System.Drawing">Blue</data>
-    <data name="Bitmap1" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded serialized .NET Framework object]</value>
-    </data>
-    <data name="Icon1" type="System.Drawing.Icon, System.Drawing" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded string representing a byte array form of the .NET Framework object]</value>
-        <comment>This is a comment</comment>
-    </data>
-                
-    There are any number of "resheader" rows that contain simple 
-    name/value pairs.
-    
-    Each data row contains a name, and value. The row also contains a 
-    type or mimetype. Type corresponds to a .NET class that support 
-    text/value conversion through the TypeConverter architecture. 
-    Classes that don't support this are serialized and stored with the 
-    mimetype set.
-    
-    The mimetype is used for serialized objects, and tells the 
-    ResXResourceReader how to depersist the object. This is currently not 
-    extensible. For a given mimetype the value must be set accordingly:
-    
-    Note - application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64 is the format 
-    that the ResXResourceWriter will generate, however the reader can 
-    read any of the formats listed below.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.soap.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Soap.SoapFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized into a byte array 
-            : using a System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.

-  <!-- 
-    Microsoft ResX Schema 
-    
-    Version 2.0
-    
-    The primary goals of this format is to allow a simple XML format 
-    that is mostly human readable. The generation and parsing of the 
-    various data types are done through the TypeConverter classes 
-    associated with the data types.
-    
-    Example:
-    
-    ... ado.net/XML headers & schema ...
-    <resheader name="resmimetype">text/microsoft-resx</resheader>
-    <resheader name="version">2.0</resheader>
-    <resheader name="reader">System.Resources.ResXResourceReader, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <resheader name="writer">System.Resources.ResXResourceWriter, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <data name="Name1"><value>this is my long string</value><comment>this is a comment</comment></data>
-    <data name="Color1" type="System.Drawing.Color, System.Drawing">Blue</data>
-    <data name="Bitmap1" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded serialized .NET Framework object]</value>
-    </data>
-    <data name="Icon1" type="System.Drawing.Icon, System.Drawing" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded string representing a byte array form of the .NET Framework object]</value>
-        <comment>This is a comment</comment>
-    </data>
-                
-    There are any number of "resheader" rows that contain simple 
-    name/value pairs.
-    
-    Each data row contains a name, and value. The row also contains a 
-    type or mimetype. Type corresponds to a .NET class that support 
-    text/value conversion through the TypeConverter architecture. 
-    Classes that don't support this are serialized and stored with the 
-    mimetype set.
-    
-    The mimetype is used for serialized objects, and tells the 
-    ResXResourceReader how to depersist the object. This is currently not 
-    extensible. For a given mimetype the value must be set accordingly:
-    
-    Note - application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64 is the format 
-    that the ResXResourceWriter will generate, however the reader can 
-    read any of the formats listed below.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.soap.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Soap.SoapFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized into a byte array 
-            : using a System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.

-    Microsoft ResX Schema 
-    
-    Version 2.0
-    
-    The primary goals of this format is to allow a simple XML format 
-    that is mostly human readable. The generation and parsing of the 
-    various data types are done through the TypeConverter classes 
-    associated with the data types.
-    
-    Example:
-    
-    ... ado.net/XML headers & schema ...
-    <resheader name="resmimetype">text/microsoft-resx</resheader>
-    <resheader name="version">2.0</resheader>
-    <resheader name="reader">System.Resources.ResXResourceReader, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <resheader name="writer">System.Resources.ResXResourceWriter, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <data name="Name1"><value>this is my long string</value><comment>this is a comment</comment></data>
-    <data name="Color1" type="System.Drawing.Color, System.Drawing">Blue</data>
-    <data name="Bitmap1" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded serialized .NET Framework object]</value>
-    </data>
-    <data name="Icon1" type="System.Drawing.Icon, System.Drawing" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded string representing a byte array form of the .NET Framework object]</value>
-        <comment>This is a comment</comment>
-    </data>
-                
-    There are any number of "resheader" rows that contain simple 
-    name/value pairs.
-    
-    Each data row contains a name, and value. The row also contains a 
-    type or mimetype. Type corresponds to a .NET class that support 
-    text/value conversion through the TypeConverter architecture. 
-    Classes that don't support this are serialized and stored with the 
-    mimetype set.
-    
-    The mimetype is used for serialized objects, and tells the 
-    ResXResourceReader how to depersist the object. This is currently not 
-    extensible. For a given mimetype the value must be set accordingly:
-    
-    Note - application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64 is the format 
-    that the ResXResourceWriter will generate, however the reader can 
-    read any of the formats listed below.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.soap.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Soap.SoapFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized into a byte array 
-            : using a System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.

-    various data types are done through the TypeConverter classes 
-    associated with the data types.
-    
-    Example:
-    
-    ... ado.net/XML headers & schema ...
-    <resheader name="resmimetype">text/microsoft-resx</resheader>
-    <resheader name="version">2.0</resheader>
-    <resheader name="reader">System.Resources.ResXResourceReader, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <resheader name="writer">System.Resources.ResXResourceWriter, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <data name="Name1"><value>this is my long string</value><comment>this is a comment</comment></data>
-    <data name="Color1" type="System.Drawing.Color, System.Drawing">Blue</data>
-    <data name="Bitmap1" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded serialized .NET Framework object]</value>
-    </data>
-    <data name="Icon1" type="System.Drawing.Icon, System.Drawing" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded string representing a byte array form of the .NET Framework object]</value>
-        <comment>This is a comment</comment>
-    </data>
-                
-    There are any number of "resheader" rows that contain simple 
-    name/value pairs.
-    
-    Each data row contains a name, and value. The row also contains a 
-    type or mimetype. Type corresponds to a .NET class that support 
-    text/value conversion through the TypeConverter architecture. 
-    Classes that don't support this are serialized and stored with the 
-    mimetype set.
-    
-    The mimetype is used for serialized objects, and tells the 
-    ResXResourceReader how to depersist the object. This is currently not 
-    extensible. For a given mimetype the value must be set accordingly:
-    
-    Note - application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64 is the format 
-    that the ResXResourceWriter will generate, however the reader can 
-    read any of the formats listed below.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.soap.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Soap.SoapFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized into a byte array 
-            : using a System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.

-  <!-- 
-    Microsoft ResX Schema 
-    
-    Version 2.0
-    
-    The primary goals of this format is to allow a simple XML format 
-    that is mostly human readable. The generation and parsing of the 
-    various data types are done through the TypeConverter classes 
-    associated with the data types.
-    
-    Example:
-    
-    ... ado.net/XML headers & schema ...
-    <resheader name="resmimetype">text/microsoft-resx</resheader>
-    <resheader name="version">2.0</resheader>
-    <resheader name="reader">System.Resources.ResXResourceReader, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <resheader name="writer">System.Resources.ResXResourceWriter, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <data name="Name1"><value>this is my long string</value><comment>this is a comment</comment></data>
-    <data name="Color1" type="System.Drawing.Color, System.Drawing">Blue</data>
-    <data name="Bitmap1" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded serialized .NET Framework object]</value>
-    </data>
-    <data name="Icon1" type="System.Drawing.Icon, System.Drawing" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded string representing a byte array form of the .NET Framework object]</value>
-        <comment>This is a comment</comment>
-    </data>
-                
-    There are any number of "resheader" rows that contain simple 
-    name/value pairs.
-    
-    Each data row contains a name, and value. The row also contains a 
-    type or mimetype. Type corresponds to a .NET class that support 
-    text/value conversion through the TypeConverter architecture. 
-    Classes that don't support this are serialized and stored with the 
-    mimetype set.
-    
-    The mimetype is used for serialized objects, and tells the 
-    ResXResourceReader how to depersist the object. This is currently not 
-    extensible. For a given mimetype the value must be set accordingly:
-    
-    Note - application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64 is the format 
-    that the ResXResourceWriter will generate, however the reader can 
-    read any of the formats listed below.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.soap.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Soap.SoapFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized into a byte array 
-            : using a System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.

-  <!-- 
-    Microsoft ResX Schema 
-    
-    Version 2.0
-    
-    The primary goals of this format is to allow a simple XML format 
-    that is mostly human readable. The generation and parsing of the 
-    various data types are done through the TypeConverter classes 
-    associated with the data types.
-    
-    Example:
-    
-    ... ado.net/XML headers & schema ...
-    <resheader name="resmimetype">text/microsoft-resx</resheader>
-    <resheader name="version">2.0</resheader>
-    <resheader name="reader">System.Resources.ResXResourceReader, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <resheader name="writer">System.Resources.ResXResourceWriter, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <data name="Name1"><value>this is my long string</value><comment>this is a comment</comment></data>
-    <data name="Color1" type="System.Drawing.Color, System.Drawing">Blue</data>
-    <data name="Bitmap1" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded serialized .NET Framework object]</value>
-    </data>
-    <data name="Icon1" type="System.Drawing.Icon, System.Drawing" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded string representing a byte array form of the .NET Framework object]</value>
-        <comment>This is a comment</comment>
-    </data>
-                
-    There are any number of "resheader" rows that contain simple 
-    name/value pairs.
-    
-    Each data row contains a name, and value. The row also contains a 
-    type or mimetype. Type corresponds to a .NET class that support 
-    text/value conversion through the TypeConverter architecture. 
-    Classes that don't support this are serialized and stored with the 
-    mimetype set.
-    
-    The mimetype is used for serialized objects, and tells the 
-    ResXResourceReader how to depersist the object. This is currently not 
-    extensible. For a given mimetype the value must be set accordingly:
-    
-    Note - application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64 is the format 
-    that the ResXResourceWriter will generate, however the reader can 
-    read any of the formats listed below.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.soap.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Soap.SoapFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized into a byte array 
-            : using a System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.

-  <!-- 
-    Microsoft ResX Schema 
-    
-    Version 2.0
-    
-    The primary goals of this format is to allow a simple XML format 
-    that is mostly human readable. The generation and parsing of the 
-    various data types are done through the TypeConverter classes 
-    associated with the data types.
-    
-    Example:
-    
-    ... ado.net/XML headers & schema ...
-    <resheader name="resmimetype">text/microsoft-resx</resheader>
-    <resheader name="version">2.0</resheader>
-    <resheader name="reader">System.Resources.ResXResourceReader, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <resheader name="writer">System.Resources.ResXResourceWriter, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <data name="Name1"><value>this is my long string</value><comment>this is a comment</comment></data>
-    <data name="Color1" type="System.Drawing.Color, System.Drawing">Blue</data>
-    <data name="Bitmap1" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded serialized .NET Framework object]</value>
-    </data>
-    <data name="Icon1" type="System.Drawing.Icon, System.Drawing" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded string representing a byte array form of the .NET Framework object]</value>
-        <comment>This is a comment</comment>
-    </data>
-                
-    There are any number of "resheader" rows that contain simple 
-    name/value pairs.
-    
-    Each data row contains a name, and value. The row also contains a 
-    type or mimetype. Type corresponds to a .NET class that support 
-    text/value conversion through the TypeConverter architecture. 
-    Classes that don't support this are serialized and stored with the 
-    mimetype set.
-    
-    The mimetype is used for serialized objects, and tells the 
-    ResXResourceReader how to depersist the object. This is currently not 
-    extensible. For a given mimetype the value must be set accordingly:
-    
-    Note - application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64 is the format 
-    that the ResXResourceWriter will generate, however the reader can 
-    read any of the formats listed below.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.soap.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Soap.SoapFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized into a byte array 
-            : using a System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.

-  <!-- 
-    Microsoft ResX Schema 
-    
-    Version 2.0
-    
-    The primary goals of this format is to allow a simple XML format 
-    that is mostly human readable. The generation and parsing of the 
-    various data types are done through the TypeConverter classes 
-    associated with the data types.
-    
-    Example:
-    
-    ... ado.net/XML headers & schema ...
-    <resheader name="resmimetype">text/microsoft-resx</resheader>
-    <resheader name="version">2.0</resheader>
-    <resheader name="reader">System.Resources.ResXResourceReader, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <resheader name="writer">System.Resources.ResXResourceWriter, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <data name="Name1"><value>this is my long string</value><comment>this is a comment</comment></data>
-    <data name="Color1" type="System.Drawing.Color, System.Drawing">Blue</data>
-    <data name="Bitmap1" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded serialized .NET Framework object]</value>
-    </data>
-    <data name="Icon1" type="System.Drawing.Icon, System.Drawing" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded string representing a byte array form of the .NET Framework object]</value>
-        <comment>This is a comment</comment>
-    </data>
-                
-    There are any number of "resheader" rows that contain simple 
-    name/value pairs.
-    
-    Each data row contains a name, and value. The row also contains a 
-    type or mimetype. Type corresponds to a .NET class that support 
-    text/value conversion through the TypeConverter architecture. 
-    Classes that don't support this are serialized and stored with the 
-    mimetype set.
-    
-    The mimetype is used for serialized objects, and tells the 
-    ResXResourceReader how to depersist the object. This is currently not 
-    extensible. For a given mimetype the value must be set accordingly:
-    
-    Note - application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64 is the format 
-    that the ResXResourceWriter will generate, however the reader can 
-    read any of the formats listed below.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.soap.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Soap.SoapFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized into a byte array 
-            : using a System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.

-  <!-- 
-    Microsoft ResX Schema 
-    
-    Version 2.0
-    
-    The primary goals of this format is to allow a simple XML format 
-    that is mostly human readable. The generation and parsing of the 
-    various data types are done through the TypeConverter classes 
-    associated with the data types.
-    
-    Example:
-    
-    ... ado.net/XML headers & schema ...
-    <resheader name="resmimetype">text/microsoft-resx</resheader>
-    <resheader name="version">2.0</resheader>
-    <resheader name="reader">System.Resources.ResXResourceReader, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <resheader name="writer">System.Resources.ResXResourceWriter, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <data name="Name1"><value>this is my long string</value><comment>this is a comment</comment></data>
-    <data name="Color1" type="System.Drawing.Color, System.Drawing">Blue</data>
-    <data name="Bitmap1" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded serialized .NET Framework object]</value>
-    </data>
-    <data name="Icon1" type="System.Drawing.Icon, System.Drawing" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded string representing a byte array form of the .NET Framework object]</value>
-        <comment>This is a comment</comment>
-    </data>
-                
-    There are any number of "resheader" rows that contain simple 
-    name/value pairs.
-    
-    Each data row contains a name, and value. The row also contains a 
-    type or mimetype. Type corresponds to a .NET class that support 
-    text/value conversion through the TypeConverter architecture. 
-    Classes that don't support this are serialized and stored with the 
-    mimetype set.
-    
-    The mimetype is used for serialized objects, and tells the 
-    ResXResourceReader how to depersist the object. This is currently not 
-    extensible. For a given mimetype the value must be set accordingly:
-    
-    Note - application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64 is the format 
-    that the ResXResourceWriter will generate, however the reader can 
-    read any of the formats listed below.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.soap.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Soap.SoapFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized into a byte array 
-            : using a System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.

-  <!-- 
-    Microsoft ResX Schema 
-    
-    Version 2.0
-    
-    The primary goals of this format is to allow a simple XML format 
-    that is mostly human readable. The generation and parsing of the 
-    various data types are done through the TypeConverter classes 
-    associated with the data types.
-    
-    Example:
-    
-    ... ado.net/XML headers & schema ...
-    <resheader name="resmimetype">text/microsoft-resx</resheader>
-    <resheader name="version">2.0</resheader>
-    <resheader name="reader">System.Resources.ResXResourceReader, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <resheader name="writer">System.Resources.ResXResourceWriter, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <data name="Name1"><value>this is my long string</value><comment>this is a comment</comment></data>
-    <data name="Color1" type="System.Drawing.Color, System.Drawing">Blue</data>
-    <data name="Bitmap1" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded serialized .NET Framework object]</value>
-    </data>
-    <data name="Icon1" type="System.Drawing.Icon, System.Drawing" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded string representing a byte array form of the .NET Framework object]</value>
-        <comment>This is a comment</comment>
-    </data>
-                
-    There are any number of "resheader" rows that contain simple 
-    name/value pairs.
-    
-    Each data row contains a name, and value. The row also contains a 
-    type or mimetype. Type corresponds to a .NET class that support 
-    text/value conversion through the TypeConverter architecture. 
-    Classes that don't support this are serialized and stored with the 
-    mimetype set.
-    
-    The mimetype is used for serialized objects, and tells the 
-    ResXResourceReader how to depersist the object. This is currently not 
-    extensible. For a given mimetype the value must be set accordingly:
-    
-    Note - application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64 is the format 
-    that the ResXResourceWriter will generate, however the reader can 
-    read any of the formats listed below.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.soap.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Soap.SoapFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized into a byte array 
-            : using a System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.

-  <!-- 
-    Microsoft ResX Schema 
-    
-    Version 2.0
-    
-    The primary goals of this format is to allow a simple XML format 
-    that is mostly human readable. The generation and parsing of the 
-    various data types are done through the TypeConverter classes 
-    associated with the data types.
-    
-    Example:
-    
-    ... ado.net/XML headers & schema ...
-    <resheader name="resmimetype">text/microsoft-resx</resheader>
-    <resheader name="version">2.0</resheader>
-    <resheader name="reader">System.Resources.ResXResourceReader, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <resheader name="writer">System.Resources.ResXResourceWriter, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <data name="Name1"><value>this is my long string</value><comment>this is a comment</comment></data>
-    <data name="Color1" type="System.Drawing.Color, System.Drawing">Blue</data>
-    <data name="Bitmap1" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded serialized .NET Framework object]</value>
-    </data>
-    <data name="Icon1" type="System.Drawing.Icon, System.Drawing" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded string representing a byte array form of the .NET Framework object]</value>
-        <comment>This is a comment</comment>
-    </data>
-                
-    There are any number of "resheader" rows that contain simple 
-    name/value pairs.
-    
-    Each data row contains a name, and value. The row also contains a 
-    type or mimetype. Type corresponds to a .NET class that support 
-    text/value conversion through the TypeConverter architecture. 
-    Classes that don't support this are serialized and stored with the 
-    mimetype set.
-    
-    The mimetype is used for serialized objects, and tells the 
-    ResXResourceReader how to depersist the object. This is currently not 
-    extensible. For a given mimetype the value must be set accordingly:
-    
-    Note - application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64 is the format 
-    that the ResXResourceWriter will generate, however the reader can 
-    read any of the formats listed below.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.soap.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Soap.SoapFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized into a byte array 
-            : using a System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.

-WinFX Item Templates - which work in the sandbox?
---------------------------------------------------------
-Won't work by design - WinFX Window - In the internet zone, you don't have the permission to "popup" new windows.

-Debugging Web Browser Applications - (F5)
---------------------------------------------------------
-In order to successfully debug an Web Browser Application in Visual Studio, you must enable unmanaged code debugging
-via the Debug page in the Properties view.
-
-Developers using Visual C# and Visual Basic Express do not need to do this - however, they do
-need to save any newly created Web Browser Application project.  Close the Solution.  Then open
-it, or F5 will not work.
-
-The first time that this project is debugged, a dialog may appear stating that there 
-is no debug information available for PresentationHost.exe.  This dialog can be
-safely dismissed.

-WinFX Web Browser Application Readme
-----------------------------------
-Web Browser Applications run in a sandbox with "Internet Permissions".
-Only those WinFX features that have been successfully security reviewed and validated as safe by the WinFX team will run inside the sandbox.
-
-WinFX Item Templates - which work in the sandbox?
---------------------------------------------------------
-Won't work by design - WinFX Window - In the internet zone, you don't have the permission to "popup" new windows.
-
-Debugging Web Browser Applications - (F5)
---------------------------------------------------------
-In order to successfully debug an Web Browser Application in Visual Studio, you must enable unmanaged code debugging
-via the Debug page in the Properties view.
-
-Developers using Visual C# and Visual Basic Express do not need to do this - however, they do
-need to save any newly created Web Browser Application project.  Close the Solution.  Then open
-it, or F5 will not work.
-
-The first time that this project is debugged, a dialog may appear stating that there 
-is no debug information available for PresentationHost.exe.  This dialog can be
-safely dismissed.

-    Microsoft ResX Schema 
-    
-    Version 2.0
-    
-    The primary goals of this format is to allow a simple XML format 
-    that is mostly human readable. The generation and parsing of the 
-    various data types are done through the TypeConverter classes 
-    associated with the data types.
-    
-    Example:
-    
-    ... ado.net/XML headers & schema ...
-    <resheader name="resmimetype">text/microsoft-resx</resheader>
-    <resheader name="version">2.0</resheader>
-    <resheader name="reader">System.Resources.ResXResourceReader, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <resheader name="writer">System.Resources.ResXResourceWriter, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <data name="Name1"><value>this is my long string</value><comment>this is a comment</comment></data>
-    <data name="Color1" type="System.Drawing.Color, System.Drawing">Blue</data>
-    <data name="Bitmap1" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded serialized .NET Framework object]</value>
-    </data>
-    <data name="Icon1" type="System.Drawing.Icon, System.Drawing" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded string representing a byte array form of the .NET Framework object]</value>
-        <comment>This is a comment</comment>
-    </data>
-                
-    There are any number of "resheader" rows that contain simple 
-    name/value pairs.
-    
-    Each data row contains a name, and value. The row also contains a 
-    type or mimetype. Type corresponds to a .NET class that support 
-    text/value conversion through the TypeConverter architecture. 
-    Classes that don't support this are serialized and stored with the 
-    mimetype set.
-    
-    The mimetype is used for serialized objects, and tells the 
-    ResXResourceReader how to depersist the object. This is currently not 
-    extensible. For a given mimetype the value must be set accordingly:
-    
-    Note - application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64 is the format 
-    that the ResXResourceWriter will generate, however the reader can 
-    read any of the formats listed below.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.soap.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Soap.SoapFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized into a byte array 
-            : using a System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.

-<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

-  <!-- 
-    Microsoft ResX Schema 
-    
-    Version 2.0
-    
-    The primary goals of this format is to allow a simple XML format 
-    that is mostly human readable. The generation and parsing of the 
-    various data types are done through the TypeConverter classes 
-    associated with the data types.
-    
-    Example:
-    
-    ... ado.net/XML headers & schema ...
-    <resheader name="resmimetype">text/microsoft-resx</resheader>
-    <resheader name="version">2.0</resheader>
-    <resheader name="reader">System.Resources.ResXResourceReader, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <resheader name="writer">System.Resources.ResXResourceWriter, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <data name="Name1"><value>this is my long string</value><comment>this is a comment</comment></data>
-    <data name="Color1" type="System.Drawing.Color, System.Drawing">Blue</data>
-    <data name="Bitmap1" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded serialized .NET Framework object]</value>
-    </data>
-    <data name="Icon1" type="System.Drawing.Icon, System.Drawing" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded string representing a byte array form of the .NET Framework object]</value>
-        <comment>This is a comment</comment>
-    </data>
-                
-    There are any number of "resheader" rows that contain simple 
-    name/value pairs.
-    
-    Each data row contains a name, and value. The row also contains a 
-    type or mimetype. Type corresponds to a .NET class that support 
-    text/value conversion through the TypeConverter architecture. 
-    Classes that don't support this are serialized and stored with the 
-    mimetype set.
-    
-    The mimetype is used for serialized objects, and tells the 
-    ResXResourceReader how to depersist the object. This is currently not 
-    extensible. For a given mimetype the value must be set accordingly:
-    
-    Note - application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64 is the format 
-    that the ResXResourceWriter will generate, however the reader can 
-    read any of the formats listed below.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.soap.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Soap.SoapFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized into a byte array 
-            : using a System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.

-<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

-  <!-- 
-    Microsoft ResX Schema 
-    
-    Version 2.0
-    
-    The primary goals of this format is to allow a simple XML format 
-    that is mostly human readable. The generation and parsing of the 
-    various data types are done through the TypeConverter classes 
-    associated with the data types.
-    
-    Example:
-    
-    ... ado.net/XML headers & schema ...
-    <resheader name="resmimetype">text/microsoft-resx</resheader>
-    <resheader name="version">2.0</resheader>
-    <resheader name="reader">System.Resources.ResXResourceReader, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <resheader name="writer">System.Resources.ResXResourceWriter, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <data name="Name1"><value>this is my long string</value><comment>this is a comment</comment></data>
-    <data name="Color1" type="System.Drawing.Color, System.Drawing">Blue</data>
-    <data name="Bitmap1" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded serialized .NET Framework object]</value>
-    </data>
-    <data name="Icon1" type="System.Drawing.Icon, System.Drawing" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded string representing a byte array form of the .NET Framework object]</value>
-        <comment>This is a comment</comment>
-    </data>
-                
-    There are any number of "resheader" rows that contain simple 
-    name/value pairs.
-    
-    Each data row contains a name, and value. The row also contains a 
-    type or mimetype. Type corresponds to a .NET class that support 
-    text/value conversion through the TypeConverter architecture. 
-    Classes that don't support this are serialized and stored with the 
-    mimetype set.
-    
-    The mimetype is used for serialized objects, and tells the 
-    ResXResourceReader how to depersist the object. This is currently not 
-    extensible. For a given mimetype the value must be set accordingly:
-    
-    Note - application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64 is the format 
-    that the ResXResourceWriter will generate, however the reader can 
-    read any of the formats listed below.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.soap.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Soap.SoapFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized into a byte array 
-            : using a System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.

-<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
-<root>
-  <!-- 
-    Microsoft ResX Schema 
-    
-    Version 2.0
-    
-    The primary goals of this format is to allow a simple XML format 
-    that is mostly human readable. The generation and parsing of the 
-    various data types are done through the TypeConverter classes 
-    associated with the data types.
-    
-    Example:
-    
-    ... ado.net/XML headers & schema ...
-    <resheader name="resmimetype">text/microsoft-resx</resheader>
-    <resheader name="version">2.0</resheader>
-    <resheader name="reader">System.Resources.ResXResourceReader, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <resheader name="writer">System.Resources.ResXResourceWriter, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <data name="Name1"><value>this is my long string</value><comment>this is a comment</comment></data>
-    <data name="Color1" type="System.Drawing.Color, System.Drawing">Blue</data>
-    <data name="Bitmap1" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded serialized .NET Framework object]</value>
-    </data>
-    <data name="Icon1" type="System.Drawing.Icon, System.Drawing" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded string representing a byte array form of the .NET Framework object]</value>
-        <comment>This is a comment</comment>
-    </data>
-                
-    There are any number of "resheader" rows that contain simple 
-    name/value pairs.
-    
-    Each data row contains a name, and value. The row also contains a 
-    type or mimetype. Type corresponds to a .NET class that support 
-    text/value conversion through the TypeConverter architecture. 
-    Classes that don't support this are serialized and stored with the 
-    mimetype set.
-    
-    The mimetype is used for serialized objects, and tells the 
-    ResXResourceReader how to depersist the object. This is currently not 
-    extensible. For a given mimetype the value must be set accordingly:
-    
-    Note - application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64 is the format 
-    that the ResXResourceWriter will generate, however the reader can 
-    read any of the formats listed below.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.soap.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Soap.SoapFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized into a byte array 
-            : using a System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.

-    Microsoft ResX Schema 
-    
-    Version 2.0
-    
-    The primary goals of this format is to allow a simple XML format 
-    that is mostly human readable. The generation and parsing of the 
-    various data types are done through the TypeConverter classes 
-    associated with the data types.
-    
-    Example:
-    
-    ... ado.net/XML headers & schema ...
-    <resheader name="resmimetype">text/microsoft-resx</resheader>
-    <resheader name="version">2.0</resheader>
-    <resheader name="reader">System.Resources.ResXResourceReader, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <resheader name="writer">System.Resources.ResXResourceWriter, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <data name="Name1"><value>this is my long string</value><comment>this is a comment</comment></data>
-    <data name="Color1" type="System.Drawing.Color, System.Drawing">Blue</data>
-    <data name="Bitmap1" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded serialized .NET Framework object]</value>
-    </data>
-    <data name="Icon1" type="System.Drawing.Icon, System.Drawing" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded string representing a byte array form of the .NET Framework object]</value>
-        <comment>This is a comment</comment>
-    </data>
-                
-    There are any number of "resheader" rows that contain simple 
-    name/value pairs.
-    
-    Each data row contains a name, and value. The row also contains a 
-    type or mimetype. Type corresponds to a .NET class that support 
-    text/value conversion through the TypeConverter architecture. 
-    Classes that don't support this are serialized and stored with the 
-    mimetype set.
-    
-    The mimetype is used for serialized objects, and tells the 
-    ResXResourceReader how to depersist the object. This is currently not 
-    extensible. For a given mimetype the value must be set accordingly:
-    
-    Note - application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64 is the format 
-    that the ResXResourceWriter will generate, however the reader can 
-    read any of the formats listed below.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.soap.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Soap.SoapFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized into a byte array 
-            : using a System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.

-  <!-- 
-    Microsoft ResX Schema 
-    
-    Version 2.0
-    
-    The primary goals of this format is to allow a simple XML format 
-    that is mostly human readable. The generation and parsing of the 
-    various data types are done through the TypeConverter classes 
-    associated with the data types.
-    
-    Example:
-    
-    ... ado.net/XML headers & schema ...
-    <resheader name="resmimetype">text/microsoft-resx</resheader>
-    <resheader name="version">2.0</resheader>
-    <resheader name="reader">System.Resources.ResXResourceReader, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <resheader name="writer">System.Resources.ResXResourceWriter, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <data name="Name1"><value>this is my long string</value><comment>this is a comment</comment></data>
-    <data name="Color1" type="System.Drawing.Color, System.Drawing">Blue</data>
-    <data name="Bitmap1" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded serialized .NET Framework object]</value>
-    </data>
-    <data name="Icon1" type="System.Drawing.Icon, System.Drawing" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded string representing a byte array form of the .NET Framework object]</value>
-        <comment>This is a comment</comment>
-    </data>
-                
-    There are any number of "resheader" rows that contain simple 
-    name/value pairs.
-    
-    Each data row contains a name, and value. The row also contains a 
-    type or mimetype. Type corresponds to a .NET class that support 
-    text/value conversion through the TypeConverter architecture. 
-    Classes that don't support this are serialized and stored with the 
-    mimetype set.
-    
-    The mimetype is used for serialized objects, and tells the 
-    ResXResourceReader how to depersist the object. This is currently not 
-    extensible. For a given mimetype the value must be set accordingly:
-    
-    Note - application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64 is the format 
-    that the ResXResourceWriter will generate, however the reader can 
-    read any of the formats listed below.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.soap.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Soap.SoapFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized into a byte array 
-            : using a System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.

-<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

-  <!-- 
-    Microsoft ResX Schema 
-    
-    Version 2.0
-    
-    The primary goals of this format is to allow a simple XML format 
-    that is mostly human readable. The generation and parsing of the 
-    various data types are done through the TypeConverter classes 
-    associated with the data types.
-    
-    Example:
-    
-    ... ado.net/XML headers & schema ...
-    <resheader name="resmimetype">text/microsoft-resx</resheader>
-    <resheader name="version">2.0</resheader>
-    <resheader name="reader">System.Resources.ResXResourceReader, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <resheader name="writer">System.Resources.ResXResourceWriter, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <data name="Name1"><value>this is my long string</value><comment>this is a comment</comment></data>
-    <data name="Color1" type="System.Drawing.Color, System.Drawing">Blue</data>
-    <data name="Bitmap1" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded serialized .NET Framework object]</value>
-    </data>
-    <data name="Icon1" type="System.Drawing.Icon, System.Drawing" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded string representing a byte array form of the .NET Framework object]</value>
-        <comment>This is a comment</comment>
-    </data>
-                
-    There are any number of "resheader" rows that contain simple 
-    name/value pairs.
-    
-    Each data row contains a name, and value. The row also contains a 
-    type or mimetype. Type corresponds to a .NET class that support 
-    text/value conversion through the TypeConverter architecture. 
-    Classes that don't support this are serialized and stored with the 
-    mimetype set.
-    
-    The mimetype is used for serialized objects, and tells the 
-    ResXResourceReader how to depersist the object. This is currently not 
-    extensible. For a given mimetype the value must be set accordingly:
-    
-    Note - application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64 is the format 
-    that the ResXResourceWriter will generate, however the reader can 
-    read any of the formats listed below.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.soap.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Soap.SoapFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized into a byte array 
-            : using a System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.

-  <!-- 
-    Microsoft ResX Schema 
-    
-    Version 2.0
-    
-    The primary goals of this format is to allow a simple XML format 
-    that is mostly human readable. The generation and parsing of the 
-    various data types are done through the TypeConverter classes 
-    associated with the data types.
-    
-    Example:
-    
-    ... ado.net/XML headers & schema ...
-    <resheader name="resmimetype">text/microsoft-resx</resheader>
-    <resheader name="version">2.0</resheader>
-    <resheader name="reader">System.Resources.ResXResourceReader, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <resheader name="writer">System.Resources.ResXResourceWriter, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <data name="Name1"><value>this is my long string</value><comment>this is a comment</comment></data>
-    <data name="Color1" type="System.Drawing.Color, System.Drawing">Blue</data>
-    <data name="Bitmap1" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded serialized .NET Framework object]</value>
-    </data>
-    <data name="Icon1" type="System.Drawing.Icon, System.Drawing" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded string representing a byte array form of the .NET Framework object]</value>
-        <comment>This is a comment</comment>
-    </data>
-                
-    There are any number of "resheader" rows that contain simple 
-    name/value pairs.
-    
-    Each data row contains a name, and value. The row also contains a 
-    type or mimetype. Type corresponds to a .NET class that support 
-    text/value conversion through the TypeConverter architecture. 
-    Classes that don't support this are serialized and stored with the 
-    mimetype set.
-    
-    The mimetype is used for serialized objects, and tells the 
-    ResXResourceReader how to depersist the object. This is currently not 
-    extensible. For a given mimetype the value must be set accordingly:
-    
-    Note - application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64 is the format 
-    that the ResXResourceWriter will generate, however the reader can 
-    read any of the formats listed below.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.soap.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Soap.SoapFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized into a byte array 
-            : using a System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.

-  <!-- 
-    Microsoft ResX Schema 
-    
-    Version 2.0
-    
-    The primary goals of this format is to allow a simple XML format 
-    that is mostly human readable. The generation and parsing of the 
-    various data types are done through the TypeConverter classes 
-    associated with the data types.
-    
-    Example:
-    
-    ... ado.net/XML headers & schema ...
-    <resheader name="resmimetype">text/microsoft-resx</resheader>
-    <resheader name="version">2.0</resheader>
-    <resheader name="reader">System.Resources.ResXResourceReader, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <resheader name="writer">System.Resources.ResXResourceWriter, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <data name="Name1"><value>this is my long string</value><comment>this is a comment</comment></data>
-    <data name="Color1" type="System.Drawing.Color, System.Drawing">Blue</data>
-    <data name="Bitmap1" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded serialized .NET Framework object]</value>
-    </data>
-    <data name="Icon1" type="System.Drawing.Icon, System.Drawing" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded string representing a byte array form of the .NET Framework object]</value>
-        <comment>This is a comment</comment>
-    </data>
-                
-    There are any number of "resheader" rows that contain simple 
-    name/value pairs.
-    
-    Each data row contains a name, and value. The row also contains a 
-    type or mimetype. Type corresponds to a .NET class that support 
-    text/value conversion through the TypeConverter architecture. 
-    Classes that don't support this are serialized and stored with the 
-    mimetype set.
-    
-    The mimetype is used for serialized objects, and tells the 
-    ResXResourceReader how to depersist the object. This is currently not

-  <!-- 
-    Microsoft ResX Schema 
-    
-    Version 2.0
-    
-    The primary goals of this format is to allow a simple XML format 
-    that is mostly human readable. The generation and parsing of the 
-    various data types are done through the TypeConverter classes 
-    associated with the data types.
-    
-    Example:
-    
-    ... ado.net/XML headers & schema ...
-    <resheader name="resmimetype">text/microsoft-resx</resheader>
-    <resheader name="version">2.0</resheader>
-    <resheader name="reader">System.Resources.ResXResourceReader, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <resheader name="writer">System.Resources.ResXResourceWriter, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <data name="Name1"><value>this is my long string</value><comment>this is a comment</comment></data>
-    <data name="Color1" type="System.Drawing.Color, System.Drawing">Blue</data>
-    <data name="Bitmap1" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded serialized .NET Framework object]</value>
-    </data>
-    <data name="Icon1" type="System.Drawing.Icon, System.Drawing" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded string representing a byte array form of the .NET Framework object]</value>
-        <comment>This is a comment</comment>
-    </data>
-                
-    There are any number of "resheader" rows that contain simple 
-    name/value pairs.
-    
-    Each data row contains a name, and value. The row also contains a 
-    type or mimetype. Type corresponds to a .NET class that support 
-    text/value conversion through the TypeConverter architecture. 
-    Classes that don't support this are serialized and stored with the 
-    mimetype set.
-    
-    The mimetype is used for serialized objects, and tells the 
-    ResXResourceReader how to depersist the object. This is currently not 
-    extensible. For a given mimetype the value must be set accordingly:
-    
-    Note - application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64 is the format 
-    that the ResXResourceWriter will generate, however the reader can 
-    read any of the formats listed below.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.soap.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Soap.SoapFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized into a byte array 
-            : using a System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.

-  <!-- 
-    Microsoft ResX Schema 
-    
-    Version 2.0
-    
-    The primary goals of this format is to allow a simple XML format 
-    that is mostly human readable. The generation and parsing of the 
-    various data types are done through the TypeConverter classes 
-    associated with the data types.
-    
-    Example:
-    
-    ... ado.net/XML headers & schema ...
-    <resheader name="resmimetype">text/microsoft-resx</resheader>
-    <resheader name="version">2.0</resheader>
-    <resheader name="reader">System.Resources.ResXResourceReader, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <resheader name="writer">System.Resources.ResXResourceWriter, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <data name="Name1"><value>this is my long string</value><comment>this is a comment</comment></data>
-    <data name="Color1" type="System.Drawing.Color, System.Drawing">Blue</data>
-    <data name="Bitmap1" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded serialized .NET Framework object]</value>
-    </data>
-    <data name="Icon1" type="System.Drawing.Icon, System.Drawing" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded string representing a byte array form of the .NET Framework object]</value>
-        <comment>This is a comment</comment>
-    </data>
-                
-    There are any number of "resheader" rows that contain simple 
-    name/value pairs.
-    
-    Each data row contains a name, and value. The row also contains a 
-    type or mimetype. Type corresponds to a .NET class that support 
-    text/value conversion through the TypeConverter architecture. 
-    Classes that don't support this are serialized and stored with the 
-    mimetype set.
-    
-    The mimetype is used for serialized objects, and tells the 
-    ResXResourceReader how to depersist the object. This is currently not 
-    extensible. For a given mimetype the value must be set accordingly:
-    
-    Note - application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64 is the format 
-    that the ResXResourceWriter will generate, however the reader can 
-    read any of the formats listed below.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.soap.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Soap.SoapFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized into a byte array 
-            : using a System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.

-  <!-- 
-    Microsoft ResX Schema 
-    
-    Version 2.0
-    
-    The primary goals of this format is to allow a simple XML format 
-    that is mostly human readable. The generation and parsing of the 
-    various data types are done through the TypeConverter classes 
-    associated with the data types.
-    
-    Example:
-    
-    ... ado.net/XML headers & schema ...
-    <resheader name="resmimetype">text/microsoft-resx</resheader>
-    <resheader name="version">2.0</resheader>
-    <resheader name="reader">System.Resources.ResXResourceReader, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <resheader name="writer">System.Resources.ResXResourceWriter, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <data name="Name1"><value>this is my long string</value><comment>this is a comment</comment></data>
-    <data name="Color1" type="System.Drawing.Color, System.Drawing">Blue</data>
-    <data name="Bitmap1" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded serialized .NET Framework object]</value>
-    </data>
-    <data name="Icon1" type="System.Drawing.Icon, System.Drawing" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded string representing a byte array form of the .NET Framework object]</value>
-        <comment>This is a comment</comment>
-    </data>
-                
-    There are any number of "resheader" rows that contain simple 
-    name/value pairs.
-    
-    Each data row contains a name, and value. The row also contains a 
-    type or mimetype. Type corresponds to a .NET class that support 
-    text/value conversion through the TypeConverter architecture. 
-    Classes that don't support this are serialized and stored with the 
-    mimetype set.
-    
-    The mimetype is used for serialized objects, and tells the 
-    ResXResourceReader how to depersist the object. This is currently not 
-    extensible. For a given mimetype the value must be set accordingly:
-    
-    Note - application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64 is the format 
-    that the ResXResourceWriter will generate, however the reader can 
-    read any of the formats listed below.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.soap.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Soap.SoapFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized into a byte array 
-            : using a System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.

-  <!-- 
-    Microsoft ResX Schema 
-    
-    Version 2.0
-    
-    The primary goals of this format is to allow a simple XML format 
-    that is mostly human readable. The generation and parsing of the 
-    various data types are done through the TypeConverter classes 
-    associated with the data types.
-    
-    Example:
-    
-    ... ado.net/XML headers & schema ...
-    <resheader name="resmimetype">text/microsoft-resx</resheader>
-    <resheader name="version">2.0</resheader>
-    <resheader name="reader">System.Resources.ResXResourceReader, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <resheader name="writer">System.Resources.ResXResourceWriter, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <data name="Name1"><value>this is my long string</value><comment>this is a comment</comment></data>
-    <data name="Color1" type="System.Drawing.Color, System.Drawing">Blue</data>
-    <data name="Bitmap1" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded serialized .NET Framework object]</value>
-    </data>
-    <data name="Icon1" type="System.Drawing.Icon, System.Drawing" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded string representing a byte array form of the .NET Framework object]</value>
-        <comment>This is a comment</comment>
-    </data>
-                
-    There are any number of "resheader" rows that contain simple 
-    name/value pairs.
-    
-    Each data row contains a name, and value. The row also contains a 
-    type or mimetype. Type corresponds to a .NET class that support 
-    text/value conversion through the TypeConverter architecture. 
-    Classes that don't support this are serialized and stored with the 
-    mimetype set.
-    
-    The mimetype is used for serialized objects, and tells the 
-    ResXResourceReader how to depersist the object. This is currently not 
-    extensible. For a given mimetype the value must be set accordingly:
-    
-    Note - application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64 is the format 
-    that the ResXResourceWriter will generate, however the reader can 
-    read any of the formats listed below.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.soap.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Soap.SoapFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized into a byte array 
-            : using a System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.

-  <!-- 
-    Microsoft ResX Schema 
-    
-    Version 2.0
-    
-    The primary goals of this format is to allow a simple XML format 
-    that is mostly human readable. The generation and parsing of the 
-    various data types are done through the TypeConverter classes 
-    associated with the data types.
-    
-    Example:
-    
-    ... ado.net/XML headers & schema ...
-    <resheader name="resmimetype">text/microsoft-resx</resheader>
-    <resheader name="version">2.0</resheader>
-    <resheader name="reader">System.Resources.ResXResourceReader, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <resheader name="writer">System.Resources.ResXResourceWriter, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <data name="Name1"><value>this is my long string</value><comment>this is a comment</comment></data>
-    <data name="Color1" type="System.Drawing.Color, System.Drawing">Blue</data>
-    <data name="Bitmap1" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded serialized .NET Framework object]</value>
-    </data>
-    <data name="Icon1" type="System.Drawing.Icon, System.Drawing" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded string representing a byte array form of the .NET Framework object]</value>
-        <comment>This is a comment</comment>
-    </data>
-                
-    There are any number of "resheader" rows that contain simple 
-    name/value pairs.
-    
-    Each data row contains a name, and value. The row also contains a 
-    type or mimetype. Type corresponds to a .NET class that support 
-    text/value conversion through the TypeConverter architecture. 
-    Classes that don't support this are serialized and stored with the 
-    mimetype set.
-    
-    The mimetype is used for serialized objects, and tells the 
-    ResXResourceReader how to depersist the object. This is currently not 
-    extensible. For a given mimetype the value must be set accordingly:
-    
-    Note - application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64 is the format 
-    that the ResXResourceWriter will generate, however the reader can 
-    read any of the formats listed below.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.soap.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Soap.SoapFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized into a byte array 
-            : using a System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.

-.NET Framework 3.0 XAML Browser Application Readme
-----------------------------------
-XAML Browser Applications run in a sandbox with "Internet Permissions".
-Only those .NET Framework 3.0 features that have been successfully security reviewed and validated as safe by the .NET Framework 3.0 team will run inside the sandbox.
-
-.NET Framework 3.0 Item Templates - which work in the sandbox?
---------------------------------------------------------
-Won't work by design - .NET Framework 3.0 Window - In the internet zone, you don't have the permission to "popup" new windows.
-
-Debugging XAML Browser Applications - (F5)
---------------------------------------------------------
-In order to successfully debug an XAML Browser Application in Visual Studio, you must enable unmanaged code debugging
-via the Debug page in the Properties view. Developers using Visual C# and Visual Basic Express do not need to do this.
-
-The first time that this project is debugged, a dialog may appear stating that there 
-is no debug information available for PresentationHost.exe.  This dialog can be
-safely dismissed.

-  <!-- 
-    Microsoft ResX Schema 
-    
-    Version 2.0
-    
-    The primary goals of this format is to allow a simple XML format 
-    that is mostly human readable. The generation and parsing of the 
-    various data types are done through the TypeConverter classes 
-    associated with the data types.
-    
-    Example:
-    
-    ... ado.net/XML headers & schema ...
-    <resheader name="resmimetype">text/microsoft-resx</resheader>
-    <resheader name="version">2.0</resheader>
-    <resheader name="reader">System.Resources.ResXResourceReader, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <resheader name="writer">System.Resources.ResXResourceWriter, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <data name="Name1"><value>this is my long string</value><comment>this is a comment</comment></data>
-    <data name="Color1" type="System.Drawing.Color, System.Drawing">Blue</data>
-    <data name="Bitmap1" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded serialized .NET Framework object]</value>
-    </data>
-    <data name="Icon1" type="System.Drawing.Icon, System.Drawing" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded string representing a byte array form of the .NET Framework object]</value>
-        <comment>This is a comment</comment>
-    </data>
-                
-    There are any number of "resheader" rows that contain simple 
-    name/value pairs.
-    
-    Each data row contains a name, and value. The row also contains a 
-    type or mimetype. Type corresponds to a .NET class that support 
-    text/value conversion through the TypeConverter architecture. 
-    Classes that don't support this are serialized and stored with the 
-    mimetype set.
-    
-    The mimetype is used for serialized objects, and tells the 
-    ResXResourceReader how to depersist the object. This is currently not 
-    extensible. For a given mimetype the value must be set accordingly:
-    
-    Note - application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64 is the format 
-    that the ResXResourceWriter will generate, however the reader can 
-    read any of the formats listed below.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.soap.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Soap.SoapFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized into a byte array 
-            : using a System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.

-    Microsoft ResX Schema 
-    
-    Version 2.0
-    
-    The primary goals of this format is to allow a simple XML format 
-    that is mostly human readable. The generation and parsing of the 
-    various data types are done through the TypeConverter classes 
-    associated with the data types.
-    
-    Example:
-    
-    ... ado.net/XML headers & schema ...
-    <resheader name="resmimetype">text/microsoft-resx</resheader>
-    <resheader name="version">2.0</resheader>
-    <resheader name="reader">System.Resources.ResXResourceReader, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <resheader name="writer">System.Resources.ResXResourceWriter, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <data name="Name1"><value>this is my long string</value><comment>this is a comment</comment></data>
-    <data name="Color1" type="System.Drawing.Color, System.Drawing">Blue</data>
-    <data name="Bitmap1" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded serialized .NET Framework object]</value>
-    </data>
-    <data name="Icon1" type="System.Drawing.Icon, System.Drawing" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded string representing a byte array form of the .NET Framework object]</value>
-        <comment>This is a comment</comment>
-    </data>
-                
-    There are any number of "resheader" rows that contain simple 
-    name/value pairs.
-    
-    Each data row contains a name, and value. The row also contains a 
-    type or mimetype. Type corresponds to a .NET class that support 
-    text/value conversion through the TypeConverter architecture. 
-    Classes that don't support this are serialized and stored with the 
-    mimetype set.
-    
-    The mimetype is used for serialized objects, and tells the 
-    ResXResourceReader how to depersist the object. This is currently not 
-    extensible. For a given mimetype the value must be set accordingly:
-    
-    Note - application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64 is the format 
-    that the ResXResourceWriter will generate, however the reader can 
-    read any of the formats listed below.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.soap.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Soap.SoapFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized into a byte array 
-            : using a System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.

-  <!-- 
-    Microsoft ResX Schema 
-    
-    Version 2.0
-    
-    The primary goals of this format is to allow a simple XML format 
-    that is mostly human readable. The generation and parsing of the 
-    various data types are done through the TypeConverter classes 
-    associated with the data types.
-    
-    Example:
-    
-    ... ado.net/XML headers & schema ...
-    <resheader name="resmimetype">text/microsoft-resx</resheader>
-    <resheader name="version">2.0</resheader>
-    <resheader name="reader">System.Resources.ResXResourceReader, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <resheader name="writer">System.Resources.ResXResourceWriter, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <data name="Name1"><value>this is my long string</value><comment>this is a comment</comment></data>
-    <data name="Color1" type="System.Drawing.Color, System.Drawing">Blue</data>
-    <data name="Bitmap1" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded serialized .NET Framework object]</value>
-    </data>
-    <data name="Icon1" type="System.Drawing.Icon, System.Drawing" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded string representing a byte array form of the .NET Framework object]</value>
-        <comment>This is a comment</comment>
-    </data>
-                
-    There are any number of "resheader" rows that contain simple 
-    name/value pairs.
-    
-    Each data row contains a name, and value. The row also contains a 
-    type or mimetype. Type corresponds to a .NET class that support 
-    text/value conversion through the TypeConverter architecture. 
-    Classes that don't support this are serialized and stored with the 
-    mimetype set.
-    
-    The mimetype is used for serialized objects, and tells the 
-    ResXResourceReader how to depersist the object. This is currently not 
-    extensible. For a given mimetype the value must be set accordingly:
-    
-    Note - application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64 is the format 
-    that the ResXResourceWriter will generate, however the reader can 
-    read any of the formats listed below.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.soap.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Soap.SoapFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized into a byte array 
-            : using a System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.

-           for the child DrawingVisual objects. Try clicking

-    There are any number of "resheader" rows that contain simple 
-    name/value pairs.
-    
-    Each data row contains a name, and value. The row also contains a 
-    type or mimetype. Type corresponds to a .NET class that support 
-    text/value conversion through the TypeConverter architecture. 
-    Classes that don't support this are serialized and stored with the 
-    mimetype set.
-    
-    The mimetype is used for serialized objects, and tells the 
-    ResXResourceReader how to depersist the object. This is currently not 
-    extensible. For a given mimetype the value must be set accordingly:
-    
-    Note - application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64 is the format 
-    that the ResXResourceWriter will generate, however the reader can 
-    read any of the formats listed below.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.soap.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Soap.SoapFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized into a byte array 
-            : using a System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.

-.NET Framework 3.0 XAML Browser Application Readme
-----------------------------------
-XAML Browser Applications run in a sandbox with "Internet Permissions".
-Only those .NET Framework 3.0 features that have been successfully security reviewed and validated as safe by the .NET Framework 3.0 team will run inside the sandbox.
-
-.NET Framework 3.0 Item Templates - which work in the sandbox?
---------------------------------------------------------
-Won't work by design - .NET Framework 3.0 Window - In the internet zone, you don't have the permission to "popup" new windows.
-
-Debugging XAML Browser Applications - (F5)
---------------------------------------------------------
-In order to successfully debug an XAML Browser Application in Visual Studio, you must enable unmanaged code debugging
-via the Debug page in the Properties view. Developers using Visual C# and Visual Basic Express do not need to do this.
-
-The first time that this project is debugged, a dialog may appear stating that there 
-is no debug information available for PresentationHost.exe.  This dialog can be
-safely dismissed.

-    Microsoft ResX Schema 
-    
-    Version 2.0
-    
-    The primary goals of this format is to allow a simple XML format 
-    that is mostly human readable. The generation and parsing of the 
-    various data types are done through the TypeConverter classes 
-    associated with the data types.
-    
-    Example:
-    
-    ... ado.net/XML headers & schema ...
-    <resheader name="resmimetype">text/microsoft-resx</resheader>
-    <resheader name="version">2.0</resheader>
-    <resheader name="reader">System.Resources.ResXResourceReader, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <resheader name="writer">System.Resources.ResXResourceWriter, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <data name="Name1"><value>this is my long string</value><comment>this is a comment</comment></data>
-    <data name="Color1" type="System.Drawing.Color, System.Drawing">Blue</data>
-    <data name="Bitmap1" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded serialized .NET Framework object]</value>
-    </data>
-    <data name="Icon1" type="System.Drawing.Icon, System.Drawing" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded string representing a byte array form of the .NET Framework object]</value>
-        <comment>This is a comment</comment>
-    </data>
-                
-    There are any number of "resheader" rows that contain simple 
-    name/value pairs.
-    
-    Each data row contains a name, and value. The row also contains a 
-    type or mimetype. Type corresponds to a .NET class that support 
-    text/value conversion through the TypeConverter architecture. 
-    Classes that don't support this are serialized and stored with the 
-    mimetype set.
-    
-    The mimetype is used for serialized objects, and tells the 
-    ResXResourceReader how to depersist the object. This is currently not 
-    extensible. For a given mimetype the value must be set accordingly:
-    
-    Note - application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64 is the format 
-    that the ResXResourceWriter will generate, however the reader can 
-    read any of the formats listed below.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.soap.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Soap.SoapFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized into a byte array 
-            : using a System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.

-    various data types are done through the TypeConverter classes 
-    associated with the data types.
-    
-    Example:
-    
-    ... ado.net/XML headers & schema ...
-    <resheader name="resmimetype">text/microsoft-resx</resheader>
-    <resheader name="version">2.0</resheader>
-    <resheader name="reader">System.Resources.ResXResourceReader, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <resheader name="writer">System.Resources.ResXResourceWriter, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <data name="Name1"><value>this is my long string</value><comment>this is a comment</comment></data>
-    <data name="Color1" type="System.Drawing.Color, System.Drawing">Blue</data>
-    <data name="Bitmap1" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded serialized .NET Framework object]</value>
-    </data>
-    <data name="Icon1" type="System.Drawing.Icon, System.Drawing" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded string representing a byte array form of the .NET Framework object]</value>
-        <comment>This is a comment</comment>
-    </data>
-                
-    There are any number of "resheader" rows that contain simple 
-    name/value pairs.
-    
-    Each data row contains a name, and value. The row also contains a 
-    type or mimetype. Type corresponds to a .NET class that support 
-    text/value conversion through the TypeConverter architecture. 
-    Classes that don't support this are serialized and stored with the 
-    mimetype set.
-    
-    The mimetype is used for serialized objects, and tells the 
-    ResXResourceReader how to depersist the object. This is currently not 
-    extensible. For a given mimetype the value must be set accordingly:
-    
-    Note - application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64 is the format 
-    that the ResXResourceWriter will generate, however the reader can 
-    read any of the formats listed below.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.soap.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Soap.SoapFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized into a byte array 
-            : using a System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.

-<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

-  <!-- 
-    Microsoft ResX Schema 
-    
-    Version 2.0
-    
-    The primary goals of this format is to allow a simple XML format 
-    that is mostly human readable. The generation and parsing of the 
-    various data types are done through the TypeConverter classes 
-    associated with the data types.
-    
-    Example:
-    
-    ... ado.net/XML headers & schema ...
-    <resheader name="resmimetype">text/microsoft-resx</resheader>
-    <resheader name="version">2.0</resheader>
-    <resheader name="reader">System.Resources.ResXResourceReader, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <resheader name="writer">System.Resources.ResXResourceWriter, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <data name="Name1"><value>this is my long string</value><comment>this is a comment</comment></data>
-    <data name="Color1" type="System.Drawing.Color, System.Drawing">Blue</data>
-    <data name="Bitmap1" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded serialized .NET Framework object]</value>
-    </data>
-    <data name="Icon1" type="System.Drawing.Icon, System.Drawing" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded string representing a byte array form of the .NET Framework object]</value>
-        <comment>This is a comment</comment>
-    </data>
-                
-    There are any number of "resheader" rows that contain simple 
-    name/value pairs.
-    
-    Each data row contains a name, and value. The row also contains a 
-    type or mimetype. Type corresponds to a .NET class that support 
-    text/value conversion through the TypeConverter architecture. 
-    Classes that don't support this are serialized and stored with the 
-    mimetype set.
-    
-    The mimetype is used for serialized objects, and tells the 
-    ResXResourceReader how to depersist the object. This is currently not 
-    extensible. For a given mimetype the value must be set accordingly:
-    
-    Note - application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64 is the format 
-    that the ResXResourceWriter will generate, however the reader can 
-    read any of the formats listed below.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.soap.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Soap.SoapFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized into a byte array 
-            : using a System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.

-  <!-- 
-    Microsoft ResX Schema 
-    
-    Version 2.0
-    
-    The primary goals of this format is to allow a simple XML format 
-    that is mostly human readable. The generation and parsing of the 
-    various data types are done through the TypeConverter classes 
-    associated with the data types.
-    
-    Example:
-    
-    ... ado.net/XML headers & schema ...
-    <resheader name="resmimetype">text/microsoft-resx</resheader>
-    <resheader name="version">2.0</resheader>
-    <resheader name="reader">System.Resources.ResXResourceReader, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <resheader name="writer">System.Resources.ResXResourceWriter, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <data name="Name1"><value>this is my long string</value><comment>this is a comment</comment></data>
-    <data name="Color1" type="System.Drawing.Color, System.Drawing">Blue</data>
-    <data name="Bitmap1" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded serialized .NET Framework object]</value>
-    </data>
-    <data name="Icon1" type="System.Drawing.Icon, System.Drawing" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded string representing a byte array form of the .NET Framework object]</value>
-        <comment>This is a comment</comment>
-    </data>
-                
-    There are any number of "resheader" rows that contain simple 
-    name/value pairs.
-    
-    Each data row contains a name, and value. The row also contains a 
-    type or mimetype. Type corresponds to a .NET class that support 
-    text/value conversion through the TypeConverter architecture. 
-    Classes that don't support this are serialized and stored with the 
-    mimetype set.
-    
-    The mimetype is used for serialized objects, and tells the 
-    ResXResourceReader how to depersist the object. This is currently not 
-    extensible. For a given mimetype the value must be set accordingly:
-    
-    Note - application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64 is the format 
-    that the ResXResourceWriter will generate, however the reader can 
-    read any of the formats listed below.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.soap.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Soap.SoapFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized into a byte array 
-            : using a System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.

-  <!-- 
-    Microsoft ResX Schema 
-    
-    Version 2.0
-    
-    The primary goals of this format is to allow a simple XML format 
-    that is mostly human readable. The generation and parsing of the 
-    various data types are done through the TypeConverter classes 
-    associated with the data types.
-    
-    Example:
-    
-    ... ado.net/XML headers & schema ...
-    <resheader name="resmimetype">text/microsoft-resx</resheader>
-    <resheader name="version">2.0</resheader>
-    <resheader name="reader">System.Resources.ResXResourceReader, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <resheader name="writer">System.Resources.ResXResourceWriter, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <data name="Name1"><value>this is my long string</value><comment>this is a comment</comment></data>
-    <data name="Color1" type="System.Drawing.Color, System.Drawing">Blue</data>
-    <data name="Bitmap1" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded serialized .NET Framework object]</value>
-    </data>
-    <data name="Icon1" type="System.Drawing.Icon, System.Drawing" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded string representing a byte array form of the .NET Framework object]</value>
-        <comment>This is a comment</comment>
-    </data>
-                
-    There are any number of "resheader" rows that contain simple 
-    name/value pairs.
-    
-    Each data row contains a name, and value. The row also contains a 
-    type or mimetype. Type corresponds to a .NET class that support 
-    text/value conversion through the TypeConverter architecture. 
-    Classes that don't support this are serialized and stored with the 
-    mimetype set.
-    
-    The mimetype is used for serialized objects, and tells the 
-    ResXResourceReader how to depersist the object. This is currently not 
-    extensible. For a given mimetype the value must be set accordingly:
-    
-    Note - application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64 is the format 
-    that the ResXResourceWriter will generate, however the reader can 
-    read any of the formats listed below.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.soap.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Soap.SoapFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized into a byte array 
-            : using a System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.

-<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

-  <!-- 
-    Microsoft ResX Schema 
-    
-    Version 2.0
-    
-    The primary goals of this format is to allow a simple XML format 
-    that is mostly human readable. The generation and parsing of the 
-    various data types are done through the TypeConverter classes 
-    associated with the data types.
-    
-    Example:
-    
-    ... ado.net/XML headers & schema ...
-    <resheader name="resmimetype">text/microsoft-resx</resheader>
-    <resheader name="version">2.0</resheader>
-    <resheader name="reader">System.Resources.ResXResourceReader, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <resheader name="writer">System.Resources.ResXResourceWriter, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <data name="Name1"><value>this is my long string</value><comment>this is a comment</comment></data>
-    <data name="Color1" type="System.Drawing.Color, System.Drawing">Blue</data>
-    <data name="Bitmap1" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded serialized .NET Framework object]</value>
-    </data>
-    <data name="Icon1" type="System.Drawing.Icon, System.Drawing" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded string representing a byte array form of the .NET Framework object]</value>
-        <comment>This is a comment</comment>
-    </data>
-                
-    There are any number of "resheader" rows that contain simple 
-    name/value pairs.
-    
-    Each data row contains a name, and value. The row also contains a 
-    type or mimetype. Type corresponds to a .NET class that support 
-    text/value conversion through the TypeConverter architecture. 
-    Classes that don't support this are serialized and stored with the 
-    mimetype set.
-    
-    The mimetype is used for serialized objects, and tells the 
-    ResXResourceReader how to depersist the object. This is currently not 
-    extensible. For a given mimetype the value must be set accordingly:
-    
-    Note - application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64 is the format 
-    that the ResXResourceWriter will generate, however the reader can 
-    read any of the formats listed below.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.soap.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Soap.SoapFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized into a byte array 
-            : using a System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
