read string from .resx file in C#

Question

How to read the string from .resx file in c#? please send me guidelines . step by step

Answer 1

Assuming the .resx file was added using Visual Studio under the project properties, there is an easier and less error prone way to access the string.

1. Expanding the .resx file in the Solution Explorer should show a .Designer.cs file.
2. When opened, the .Designer.cs file has a Properties namespace and an internal class. For this example assume the class is named Resources.

3. Accessing the string is then as easy as:

   var resourceManager = JoshCodes.Core.Testing.Unit.Properties.Resources.ResourceManager;
   var exampleXmlString = resourceManager.GetString("exampleXml");
   

4. Replace JoshCodes.Core.Testing.Unit with the project's default namespace.

5. Replace "exampleXml" with the name of your string resource.
