ResourceLib Overview

The ResourceLib library is an experimental library that reads and parses the contents of Win32 PE (Portable Executable) image files. The library can be used to enumerate and read the resource groups and individual resources. Some resource types such as icons, bitmaps and strings can be fully parsed from their binary representation. The internal structure of other resource types is currently unknown, so they are only displayed as binary dumps.

The Resource Browser forms application supplied with the project uses the library to act as a resource browser and extractor. Icons, bitmaps and string resources can be copied to the clipboard or saved to files by right-clicking them to display context menus. Icons are parsed into the separate images to comprise the full icon and each can be copied or saved separately.

The following projects are included in the solution:

ResourceLib
	ResourceLib	The core library project.
	ResourceBrowser	A forms application that uses the library to act as a resource browser and icon etractor.
	BrowserControls	A library of child controls used by the forms application.
csutylib		This utility library is used by the application. I used to have a download link for this library, but it was too much trouble to maintain.
