What is res://*/ in .net?

Question

I came across this snippet of code on MSDN:

entityBuilder.Metadata = @"res://*/AdventureWorksModel.csdl|
                            res://*/AdventureWorksModel.ssdl|
                            res://*/AdventureWorksModel.msl";

What does the res://*/ mean and how does it work? I think it has to do with resource files, but I am not sure.

Google is no help because of the punctuation.

Answer 1

You've got the right idea:

res protocol

EDIT: Incidentally, you should check searchdotnet for technical searches, it still uses google but filters on .net stuff.
