Answer 1

Assume that your resource file name is "Resource.resx", and you want to pass key dynamically then,

using System.Resources;
string resVal = Resource.ResourceManager.GetString(dynamicKeyVal);

Let me know if it not works, I will work on it and will provide the appropriate solution.

Answer 2

You can use ResourceManager class:

ResourceManager myManager = new ResourceManager(typeof(MyResource));
string myString = myManager.GetString("StringKey");
