How do i use a Resources.resx in a C# class?

Question

i am currently using this line of code

resourceManager = new ResourceManager("Namespace.class", GetType().Assembly);

to try use a resourse but keep getting a error:
System.Resources.MissingManifestResourceException was unhandled

i am just trying to use the default .resx file made by VS2008

Answer 1

The class is created using static members.

Usually, you reference it like this:

Resources.ResourceClassName.ResourceName

Check the xxx.designer.cs file to know the namespace and class name to use.

You don't need to initiate your own ResourceManager, as Visual Studio ResXFileCodeGenerator already does that for you.
