Resources: How to retrieve localized resource?

[Axel Dahmen]

Hi,

I've created a class library assembly containing several string resource files, like:

- TableColumns.resx
- TableColumns.de.resx
- General.resx
- General.de.resx

I don't know how to address each of these having automatic language fall-back enabled.

If I write...

new ResourceManager("TableColumns",...GetExecutingAssembly()).GetString("someID");

....I always only get strings from TableColumns.resx, but not from TableColumns.de.resx, although CurrentCulture.Name yields "Germany".

What am I doing wrong?

TIA,
Axel Dahmen
