ResourceWriter question

[CSharper]

I have a resource file I have created using ResourceWriter, next time
when it runs, I want to check if the resource already exists and if
does, I want to open it and add more objects to resource. What is the
correct way of doing it?

If I do ResourceWriter rw = new ResourceWriter( resourcename)
it will overwrite the existing resource file, is there an option to
open the resource file in a read/write mode so that I can remove any
objects I want to remove and add objects I want to add?

Thanks,

[Jeroen Mostert]

No. There's ResourceReader and ResourceWriter, but no ResourceEditor. To
achieve what you want to achieve, you can use ResourceReader to read the
existing resources and write them out (except the ones you don't want, and
adding the ones you do want) to a ResourceWriter. Both classes can operate
on streams, so you can use MemoryStream to hold the intermediate results
before overwriting the old file.
