Dear Guru,

I am a newbie C# programmer and I have been searching through Google few days ago to edit the UI that is embedded in DLL. Unfortunately, I don't find any exact answer for that. Is it possible to edit the UI that is embedded in DLL (reference class library) from current console application in C#? For a example updating Drop Down List. If yes, may I have some tutorial links to update them?

It would be highly appreciated if you could help me to advise upon this.

Note: I do have resource file that save UI mapping such as below: But I don't know how to use them.

<data name="UI_LOGIN_USR" xml:space="preserve">
    <value>Username:</value>
  </data>

Thank you so much in advance.Please kindly let me know if you need any other information.

Strictly speaking you cannot modify a DLL unless you have access to the source code. There are hacks that you can use, but it is too easy to damage the code inside and make the DLL unusable.
