  Globalisation resource problem

  Nov 30, 2005 07:05 AM|coolblue|LINK

  I have a problem with accessing .resx language files. I get this error: "Could not find any resources appropriate for the specified culture (or the neutral culture) in the given assembly. Make sure "IndexServer.Res.Strings.resources" was correctly embedded or linked into assembly "IndexServer". baseName: IndexServer.Res.Strings locationInfo: resource file name: IndexServer.Res.Strings.resources assembly: IndexServer, Version=1.0.3.5328, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null " The strange thing is that I have a test application with exactly the same code and with the resource files in exactly the same structure which works fine! I have been looking around the net for hours and all the answers point to me using an incorrect path to the resx files. I have used ildasm to check which path I should use and this is exactly what I am using. I am totally baffled!!! The c# code I am using is as follows (it fails on the GetString() call): (IndexApp is the namespace, Res is the folder containing the resx files and Strings is the prefix of the resx files eg Strings.en-GB.resx) CultureInfo ci=new CultureInfo("en-GB"); Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture=ci; ResourceManager rm=new ResourceManager("IndexApp.Res.Strings",Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly(),null); string strTrans=rm.GetString(strOriginal,ci); Can anyone offer any help as to what may be going wrong?

  Try:
  
  ResourceManager rm=new ResourceManager( "Res.Strings", Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly(),null);
  
  
  in v2.0 it would have to be inside App_GlobalResources, the regular folder doesn't matter:
  
  

  string strTrans=HttpContext.GetGlobalResourceObject("Strings", "strOriginal");
  
  strongly typed:
  
  string strTrans=Resources.Strings.strOriginal;
  
  
  HTH!

  Regards,

  Just using "Res.Strings" does not work either. And I forgot to say that I am using asp.net 1.1

  It's been a long time since I messed with the ResourceManager in v1.1 and I hated every minute of it.
  
  Thanks to this little gem I didn't have to:
