Visual Studio 2012 - How to Create Resource-Only DLL

I'm looking for a quick overview on how to create a resource-only DLL in Visual Studio 2012. I found this old article for Visual Studio 2005, but that doesn't exactly appear to be relevant anymore: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-US/library/24b2tcy0(v=VS.80).aspx

The goal is that I (the graphics guy, not the programmer) can make the resources DLL for the programmer to pull bitmaps and icons from. I can follow instructions, and have enough Visual Studio experience to figure out at least cursory instructions - I'm just looking for a starting point if nothing else.

Thanks in advance, Beems

  • Start a new project of "class library" type.
  • There will be a single class, depending on the language you chose it will be named differently. Delete it.
  • Add your resources to the project, change their properties to "Embedded Resource"
  • Compile
