Unires Sample: Demonstrates the Use of Unicode Resource Files
The Unires sample demonstrates how to create a Win32 application with only Unicode string resources and how to integrate a Unicode .rc file into a project. As the resource editor only supports ANSI in Visual Studio .NET, modifications to the .rc file have to be made in the source editor.
