I have a Visual Studio solution consisting of multiple projects. In one of the projects, I have a languagelocalization resource file. I would like to access this file in code in a different project using ResourceManager. Normally when accessing a resource file in the same project I would use:
ResourceManager rm = new ResourceManager("Namespace.LanguageLocalization", Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly());
However when I use that same code in a different project, it can't find the resource file. I double checked to make sure this project is referenced by the project with the resource file and its declared in a using statement at the top of the class.
Any suggestions?
The second argument to the ResourceManager constructor specifies the assembly that contains the resources. Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly() won't work because that returns the assembly for your other project. Instead, pass typeof(APublicClassInTheResourceAssembly).Assembly; any class in the resource assembly will do.
