Resource (.resx) file Key naming conventions?

Question

I\'m building a C# app that will likely contain a couple resource files to store strings for use in language translation. I\'m trying to come up with a naming convention for

Answer 1

If you have a Name Value Pair in resources like

CloseConfirmation - Do you want to close the window without saving ?

Add a new class called Messages.

 public static class Messages
{
    public const String CloseConfirmation = "CloseConfirmation";
    public static String GetMessage( String messageId )
    {
        return //your namespace//.Properties.Resources.ResourceManager.GetString( messageId );
    }}

and to access it use

MessageBox.Show( Messages.GetMessage(Messages.CloseConfirmation));

Hope this will help.
