The GUI sources use Windows.Forms, that works with resource files in order to design the graphical elements.

resgen <name>.resx generates a Linux readable resource <name>.resource .
Visual Studio assigns automatically a resource file to a C# file automatically. On a Linux machine naming conventions guarantee the correct assignment. The C# source and its resource file must have the same prefix. This first part of the prefix must be the namespace.
