ResourcesTableEntry (CLR_RECORD_RESOURCE)

The Resources table is used to describe the resources bound to an assembly

Name	Type	Description
Id	uint16_t	Id of the resource
Kind	ResourceKind	Kind of the resource
Flags	uint8_t	Flags for the resource
Offset	ResourcesDataTableIndex	Index into the ResourcesData blob table

ResourceKind

Name	Value	Description
Invalid	0x00	Invalid entry
Bitmap	0x01	The resource is a Bitmap
Font	0x02	The resource is a Font in the TinyCLR Font format
String	0x03	The resource is a String
Binary	0x04	The resource is a binary blob

Manifest Constants

Name	Value	Description
SentinelId	0x7FFF	Sentinel marker (See Notes for details)
FlagsPaddingMask	0x03	Mask for lower two bits of flags to retrieve padding (See Notes for details)

Notes

The last entry in the Resources table will have:

Field	Value
Id	SentinelId
Kind	Invalid
Offset	Size of the ResourceData table
Flags	0

This is used to ensure that the preceding entry can use the offset of the last entry to compute the size of its data in the ResourceData blob table.

The lower two bits of the flags is the padding applied to align this entries data in the ResourcesData blob table. That is, the size of the previous entries data is the offset of this entry minus the offset of the previous entry minus the padding for this entry. Or to put that another way, to compute the size of a resource requires a reference to the next entry in the table. With the next entry the size is computable using the following formula:

sizeOfResource = next.Offset - Offset + ( next.Flags & FlagsPaddingMask )
