Question

For a Windows 8 application in C#/XAML I need to access a specific ressource file. In WP7 I used resx file and now it seems that we need to use resw file. It’s not a language resource file.
My file is called ConfigResources.resw, it just contains one key : “ConfigFile” and a value : a string.

How can I access it from my code? I tried this without any luck:

   var storedConfigFile = Application.Current.Resources["ConfigResources"];

Then how can I edit the value of the key inside from my code?

Thank you

There is a sample that shows the different ways to read the resources in WinRT apps (i.e. from resw files).
