Is there any way to include external Combres resource set configuration? What I mean is, classically you have:

<combres>

    <resourceSets ...>

        <resourceSet/>

        <resourceSet/>

        <resourceSet/>

        ...

    </resourceSets>

</combres>

However, with a large number of sets this becomes somewhat unwieldy, what I'm thinking is something like:

<combres>

    <resourceSets ...>

        <resourceSet/>

        <resourceSet/>

        <resourceSet/>

        <include fileName="~/App_Data/combres_bob.xml"/>

        <include fileName="~/App_Data/combres_fred.xml"/>

        ...

    </resourceSets>

</combres>

In these include files would only ever be resourceSet nodes such as:

<combres>

        <resourceSet/>

        ...

</combres>

These would then be merged into the main set before processing replacing out the include nodes. This shouldn't be too hard to accomplish I already have something working I just wanted to share the thought and wondered if anything like this existed already?

Unfortunately that's not supported right now. The best thing you could is factoring out resource sets and refer to them in other sets, but everything must be in the same file. Adding support for this isn't as trivial as it might seem, because in the auto-versioning mode, Combres has to monitor changes to config file in order to generate new versions, e.g. when you add a new resource into a set. Supporting this means any file and its change could contribute to the version change. While it's certainly doable, I don't see I have time for it any soon. 

On a similar note - 

I want to dynamically (from code behind) add resource sets.

Am I correct to assume that this is not available for similar reasons?

thx

@chenamit: you're right, it's not available now.
