A .resx file in vb.net is a file like any other. It can be written to, parsed and manipulated you can add extra ones to your project to hold anything. It is exactly as the file extension would suggest a resource file although this is not strictly correct as a .resources file is slightly different. It will consist of xml entries which specify objects and strings inside xml tags. When you set the build action of a picture to embedded resource this is where it is stored in binary format. It can viewed with notepad or word. A .resx file contains a standard set of header information which describes the the format of the resource entries and the versioning information for the xml used to parse the data.
