Stored strings, Locale resource files, using C# 6 Interpolation?

Question

With the existing String.Format, I could throw the format string in a database or resource file, instead of having it hard coded into my application. Is that possible with Interpolation?

I'm guessing not, as it seems to be a compiler checked thing.

Answer 1

No, it's a compiler thing as this:

string result = $"{name}";

Is compiled into this:

string result = string.Format("{0}", name);

And you can't run the compiler on these stored strings.

You can store the strings with the numbered parameters though, and use string.Format explicitly.
