Microsoft Patterns and Practises have finally released the tool they use to automatically generate the resx resource files in their Enterprise Library. My thoughts on the library itself are covered elsewhere in this blog but this tool is fantastic. It's a real time saver because each string only requires a single line in the strings file and no angle brackets which is no worse than typing into your source file. Grab the zip file (you will need to join the workspace to download), install and read the docs.

On the subject of tools, don't miss Scott Hanselman's 2005 Ultimate Developer and Power Users Tool List.
