How to get this resource string from class library?

Answer 1

In .net 2.0, you will need to add the InternalsVisibleTo attribute to the assembly & set it to the namespace which needs to access the file:

MSDN: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.runtime.compilerservices.internalsvisibletoattribute.aspx

Another options could be to create a class in the class library which can return the strings you need...

HTH.

Answer 2

If using visual studio 2008 you can set the access modifier on the Resource designer to public in the class library.
