Resource info value is empty using GetGlobalResourceObject

Question

I create a resx file called Resource.fr-FR with the below entry for France

**

Name       Value
Greeting   Bonjour

**

I then execute the code on page load with the culture set as fr-FR

lblvalue.Text = (string)GetGlobalResourceObject("Resource", "Greeting");

but it always defaults to the English (default Hello text).

I then tried

var FrenchCulture= new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("fr-FR");
System.Globalization.CultureInfo.DefaultThreadCurrentCulture = FrenchCulture;
System.Globalization.CultureInfo.DefaultThreadCurrentUICulture = FrenchCulture;

lblvalue.Text = (string)GetGlobalResourceObject("Resource", "Greeting", FrenchCulture);

but this time i get

No overload for method 'GetGlobalResourceObject' takes 3 arguments

Where am i going wrong?

You need to change Current Culture of the current Thread rather than Default Culture of the Default Thread.-

  var FrenchCulture= new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("fr-FR");
   Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = FrenchCulture;
   Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = FrenchCulture;
