# 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.

Security Note
This sample code is provided to illustrate a concept and should not be used in applications or Web sites, as it may not illustrate the safest coding practices.

# Requirements

Running this application requires an operating system that allows the display of Unicode windows — that is, Windows 2000 or later. It also requires that you have language support for all possible Windows languages installed (check in the Control Panel under Regional Options). The application can be built on any Windows version supported by Visual Studio .NET.

# Building and Running the Sample

Note
If you are running Visual C++ Express Edition, you might need to install the Platform SDK before running this sample. For information on how to do this, see How to: Use Visual C++ Express Edition with the Microsoft Platform SDK.
