I'm building a C# app that will likely contain a couple resource files to store strings for use in language translation. I'm trying to come up with a naming convention for the Keys in my resouce files. Has anyone tackled this before me?

A File Naming Convention (FNC) is a framework for naming your files in a way that describes what they contain and how they relate to other files. Developing an FNC is done through identifying the key elements of the project, the important differences and commonalities between your files.
resx resource file format consists of XML entries, which specify objects and strings inside XML tags. It contains a standard set of header information, which describes the format of the resource entries and specifies the versioning information for the XML used to parse the data.
Resource file used by programs developed with Microsoft's . NET Framework; stores objects and strings for a program in an XML format; may contain both plain text information as well as binary data, which is encoded as text within the XML tags.
Just use Pascal naming convention. Dont attribute the key to a module or the class. Generalize it so that it can be reused.
Eg: ReadWriteWarningMessage
The dot separated convention works fine for menu items. But what about strings that are generated dynamically or user messages.
