Get value from resx

Question

User-284642143 posted

I created an App_GlobalResources folder and added relevant resx files for the appropriate country.

I then add a key and value to the file. All displays on the site as required.

I am now trying to retrieve the value from this resx file so i have the code

            ResourceManager lang = new ResourceManager("Resource.en-AU",  Assembly.Load("App_GlobalResources"));
            string value = lang.GetString(Key);
            return value;

but the code crashes on the second line with the error 

Additional information: Could not find any resources appropriate for the specified culture or the neutral culture.  Make sure "Resource.en-AU.resources" was correctly embedded or linked into assembly "App_GlobalResources.ufgcy-ty" at compile time, or that all the satellite assemblies required are loadable and fully signed.

I noticed its looking for a .resources file which i dont have but have a resx file - how could i correctly get the value from the appropriate resx file?

Check if you have set the Resx file build Action to Embedded Resource.

Please follow the below steps to check that

• Right click on resx file
• Select the Property Option
• Check if BuildAction has been set to EmbeddedResources, if not change it to EmbeddedResources
