I was looking through a .NET resource file (i.e. a .resx file) and it is has a number of sections which make sense for common uses of a resource:

  • Strings
  • Images
  • Icons (aren't these just images too?)
  • Audio
  • Files
  • Other

For the life of me, I can't think of anything that would need other, since the other options seem to cover everything.

My question is, what are common uses for 'Other' in a resource file?

"Displays a settings grid for adding other types that support string serialization (for example, Font, Enum, Color, and Point). The grid contains the following columns: Name, Type, Value, and Comment. For a description of the columns in this grid, see "Settings Grid," below."
