Can't get hold of resources in .resx files

[Shimon Sim]

I just started trying localization for my web application.
I have class library as part of solution so I need to globalize / localize
this component too.

I created resource file in the assembly itself - Account.resx - the one that
VS offers.
And wrote code like this.

static ResourceManager stringManager=

new ResourceManager("AccountResources", Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly());



and in method

if (ex.Message.IndexOf("unq_a_AccountName") > 0)

throw new
AccountInformationException(stringManager.GetString("accountWithNameExistsMessage"),
ex);

I get an error that Account.resource is not part of assembly.

Well I have Account.resx and VS2005 doesn't offer .resource.

So what should I do?

Thank you,

Shimon.

Hi Shimon

Whenever I come across resource issues, the majority of the problems
are to do with how you have named the resource file inside your
assembly.

Use the Reflector http://www.aisto.com/roeder/dotnet/ to open your
assembly up and see how the resource file has been named. Odds on it is
your naming that is the problem.

Cheers

Hi Shimon,

As for accessing resource items in localized resource file(resx ) compiled
in VS 2005 projects, the VS 2005 ide will help automatically generate
resource accessor class to access the resource items. We can call them to
retrieve resource items, e.g:

suppose I have a class library project (named SBI) in vs 2005, and add a
Resouce1.resx file(contains some string items like String1, String2....),
the IDE will help automatically generate the helper class so that we can
access the resource in the Resource1.resx file like below:

string str1 = SBI.Resource1.String1;

Also, we can use the resgen.exe tool to manually create such resource
accessor helper class:

#Resource File Generator (Resgen.exe)

Hope this helps.
