In a Windows.Forms application, Properties.Resources always return neutral culture values

Question

I have a Windows.Forms application and I change the resources at runtime with this code:

Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = new CultureInfo("it-IT");

What happens is that new forms appear correctly with the new culture, while Properties.Resources.* strings always appear with the neutral culture (even if Properties.Resources.Culture appears correctly set to "it-IT").

How can I make my program reload Properties.Resources.* strings after chaning the culture?

Answer 1

This should happen automatically. Make sure that you have created the localized resources correctly:

1. Neutral culture goes into <filename>.resx
2. Italian culture goes into <filename>.it-IT.rex (or <filename>.it.resx)
