How to compile Resource files

[scalf]

I'm using a resource file (.resx) to manage multilingual displays of my pages. I get this message when I try to use my resource file, I thing that I have to compile my resource file to an assembly or something like that and I don't know how to proceed. I have 2 resource file : strings.us.resx (for US language) and strings.fr.resx for (French language). Can someone help me ?

 

 

Error Message :

Could not find any resources appropriate for the specified culture (or the neutral culture) in the given assembly. Make sure "strings.resources" was correctly embedded or linked into assembly "Auditeurs User". baseName: strings locationInfo: <null> resource file name: strings.resources assembly: Auditeurs User, Version=1.0.1627.17748, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null

You would need to convert the .resx file to a valid .resources file using resgen.exe

resgen.exe /compile strings.en-US.resx

and then convert this into a dll using al.exe

al.exe /out:en-US\App.resources.dll /culture:en-US /embedresource:strings.en-US.resources

 

This will put the resultant DLL in a sub folder named after the culture (en-US in this case) which is the location the resource manager expects to find them.

You would do the same with the French etc. resources - just change the en-US to correctly reflect the culture.
