Create a folder in whatever project you want to store the resx files in - default, call it "Resources". Create a new resx file with the specific culture and the file name you'll look up later: If you had a shared one, you could do: SharedResource. en-US. resx.
Use Shift + Enter to insert a new line.
You should always use the resource manager and not read files directly to ensure globalization is taken into account.
using System.Collections;
using System.Globalization;
using System.Resources;
...
/* Reference to your resources class -- may be named differently in your case */
ResourceManager MyResourceClass =
new ResourceManager(typeof(Resources));
ResourceSet resourceSet =
MyResourceClass.ResourceManager.GetResourceSet(CultureInfo.CurrentUICulture, true, true);
foreach (DictionaryEntry entry in resourceSet)
{
string resourceKey = entry.Key.ToString();
object resource = entry.Value;
}
Blogged about it on my blog :) Short version is, to find the full names of the resources(unless you already know them):
var assembly = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly();
foreach (var resourceName in assembly.GetManifestResourceNames())
System.Console.WriteLine(resourceName);
To use all of them for something:
foreach (var resourceName in assembly.GetManifestResourceNames())
{
using(var stream = assembly.GetManifestResourceStream(resourceName))
{
// Do something with stream
}
}
To use resources in other assemblies than the executing one, you'd just get a different assembly object by using some of the other static methods of the Assembly
class. Hope it helps :)
Use ResXResourceReader Class
ResXResourceReader rsxr = new ResXResourceReader("your resource file path");
// Iterate through the resources and display the contents to the console.
foreach (DictionaryEntry d in rsxr)
{
Console.WriteLine(d.Key.ToString() + ":\t" + d.Value.ToString());
}
// Create a ResXResourceReader for the file items.resx.
ResXResourceReader rsxr = new ResXResourceReader("items.resx");
// Create an IDictionaryEnumerator to iterate through the resources.
IDictionaryEnumerator id = rsxr.GetEnumerator();
// Iterate through the resources and display the contents to the console.
foreach (DictionaryEntry d in rsxr)
{
Console.WriteLine(d.Key.ToString() + ":\t" + d.Value.ToString());
}
//Close the reader.
rsxr.Close();
