My program is a translator that load a exe and the resx files that comes with it, edit them, save them and then put them in an assembly (with AS.exe). I can already change the text from controls, but I would like to change the comments associated with it.

I know resource file (.resx) can contain comments ... Link

enter image description here

My problem is that I have the form made from the resource file and when I try to access a control properties, I can only get the name and the text. I want to be able to get and set comment to a control (example: a button name : btnOk, text : Ok, comment : Ok button).

Once the control has the comment, I will save the resource file and I would like the comment to still be there and accessible next time I open the resx.

I put the data in a datagridview this way :

dgv.Rows.Add(new string[] { ctrl.Name, ctrl.Text, "Here should be the comments" });

So you want to edit the resx at run time? – jrummell Jul 05 '12 at 14:09

The forms designer just doesn't support comments. You can certainly put the `` element inside the `` element in the .resx file by hand but as soon as you edit you'll lose them again. – Hans Passant Jul 05 '12 at 17:19
