Is there any visual editor for .resource files

I've generated binary resource (.resources) file with resgen.exe from txt files. Do you know if there is any visual editor for already generated resource file. My case is that software was delivered to the client and he wants to update values in the file.

Finally I found the tool which allows to edit .resource files, that is Resource.Net. You can find the app by following to the link https://fishcodelib.com/Resource.htm

Are you delivering .resx files as plain text with the software? .resx files are compiled to assemblies usually and are not available for direct editing with any tool actually.

Your client have to disassemble assembly, make changes to .resx file and compile it back to assembly again.

You can send plain .resx file to your client, ask them to edit those files (with notepad.exe or any other text editor) and merge client changes back to your sources. Then create a patch and deliver to the client as new version
