Visual Studio - Resx File default 'internal' to 'public'

Every time I edit a resource file in VS, it regenerates the corresponding code and sets the class access modifier to internal.
It's a pain to Ctrl-F -> ReplaceAll every time I edit the resx. Is there a property/setting so that I can default this to public?

internal class MyResource {

     internal static global::System.Resources.ResourceManager ResourceManager {...}

}

I need all those internal to be public all the time.

Instead of the ResXFileCodeGenerator, use the PublicResXFileCodeGenerator.

You can do this by setting this as the Custom Tool property in the Property Window for the Resx file you want public access to.

Edit: Alternatetively you can set the Access Modifier to public when you open the resx file in Visual Studio. The Access Modifier dropdown box can be found at the top of the form.

1. Right click on Resource file ( resource.resx ) => Properties.

2. Custom Tool => Change to PublicResXFileCodeGenerator
