Compiler Error Message: CS0101: The namespace 'Resources' already contains a definition for 'CommonMessages'

I'm guessing you have two entries in the same resource file with the key of CommonMessages.

Hi,

Welcome to the ASP.NET forums.

How many resx files do you have in your App_Global folder? If you have more than one resx file in your App_Global, try renaming the other one (to let us say Resource.resx_old).

See if that solves your problems

Hi,

First only One Resource file is present in the App_GlobalResources  Folder. eg: CommonMessages.resx

then we Programitically create the another file for different culture eg:  CommonMessages.sv-SE.resx  and copies the file to the App_GlobalResources folder

Now there are two files  CommonMessages.resx  and  CommonMessages.sv-SE.resx  with diferent  names.

When compliling the Application   we get the error Given above.

so what's the reason  for occuring this error.

Thanks for your help

I work with a 3rd party framework that uses resource files to handle multi-lingual issues.

They arrange things a different way.

All the resource files have the exact same name.  The "default" resource file is in the regular resources directory, and each language is in a language sub-directory below it.  The sub-directory name is the language/culture code, i.e., ca-ES, da, de, es, es-ES, fr, hr, it, and so forth.

Hope that helps!

Hi, I got the reason of this error mesage. I am using the wrong culture name for file.

Just check the culture name you are using is present or not.
eg. CommonMessages.fe-ex.

the Fr-ex is not valid culture so the above given errors occured while building the application.

you can check the supported Culture s from IE-Browser. Tools-Internate Options- Languages-Add languages

I found some caveats with this localization stuff, mostly with regard to the naming of the files, I've documented it here http://learnerps-dotnet.blogspot.com/2008/08/localization-and-globalization.html#links

You just check that you make a duplicate or renamed .aspx file that have refrance to same class,if this is ok then check your global app folder for duplicate resource file.

I came across a novel realisation of why this error showed up in my project !!!   I'd saved my *.cs file into a different folder - deleted the original because it showed some strange link icon and thought I'd recreate it in my target folder seeing as my solution had no listing of my *.cs file now.

Sure enough the above definition got me thinking and I did a full search for the name of my .cs file which seemed to have a duplicate somewhere.....   I didn't know Windows XP could have two of the exact same named file in the same folder tree of a project - but it did... so I deleted the older one !

Talk about learning something new !  :-D

I also have the same problem.

The error occurs because specific culture was not installed on build station.
