Create a Resx resource file

using System;
using System.Collections;
using System.IO;
using System.Resources;
class MainClass
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        string resXFile = "test.resx";
        string resKey = "myKey";
        string resValueFile = "myValue";
        using (ResXResourceWriter writer = new ResXResourceWriter(resXFile))
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Associating {0} with {1}"s contents", resKey, resValueFile);
            Console.Write("To {0}...", resXFile);
            using (ResXResourceReader reader = new ResXResourceReader(resXFile))
            {
                foreach (DictionaryEntry node in reader)
                    writer.AddResource((string)node.Key, node.Value);
            }
            writer.AddResource(resKey, File.ReadAllBytes(resValueFile));
        }
    }
}

Make a resx writer and specify the file to write to

using System;
using System.Resources;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Collections;
using System.Windows.Forms;
public class MainClass{
  public static void Main(){
    
    ResXResourceWriter w = new ResXResourceWriter("ResXForm.resx");
    Image i = new Bitmap("YourFile.bmp");
    w.AddResource("happyDude", i);
    
    w.AddResource("welcomeString", "Hello new resource format!");
    w.Generate();
    w.Close();
  }
}

ResXResourceWriter and ResXResourceReader

using System;
using System.Resources;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Collections;
using System.Windows.Forms;
public class MainClass{
  public static void Main(){
    
    ResXResourceWriter w = new ResXResourceWriter("ResXForm.resx");
      
    Image i = new Bitmap("YourFile.bmp");
    w.AddResource("happyDude", i);
    
    w.AddResource("welcomeString", "Hello new resource format!");
      
    w.Generate();
    w.Close();
      
    ResXResourceReader r = new ResXResourceReader("ResXForm.resx");
    
    IDictionaryEnumerator en = r.GetEnumerator();
    while (en.MoveNext()) 
    {
      Console.WriteLine("Value:" + en.Value.ToString() + " Key: " + en.Key.ToString());
    }
    r.Close();
   }
}

Value:System.Drawing.Bitmap Key: happyDude
Value:Hello new resource format! Key: welcomeString
