Resource file not linked to the assembly error

[Sash]

Hi,

I created a C# class library and added a .resx file. When I tried to access
the values in the resource file, after compiling it I get the following error.
It looks like the resource file is not linked to the assembly. What am I
missing?

Error:
An unhandled exception of type 'System.Resources.MissingManifestResourceException'
occurred in mscorlib.dll

Additional information: Could not find any resources appropriate for the
specified culture (or the neutral culture) in the given assembly. Make sure
"Testapp.resources" was correctly embedded or linked into assembly "Testapp".
baseName: Testapp locationInfo: <null> resource file name: Testapp.resources
assembly: Testapp, Version=1.0.755.20778, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=e79471838db4c67b

Thanks in advance.

You have to ensure the generated .resource filename includes the full
namespace.

So if your code is...

namespace Test
{
class XXX
{
public XXX()
{
ResourceManager rm = new ResourceManager(typeof(XXX));

Bitmap bm = (Bitmap)rm.GetObject("MyBitmap");
}
}
}

then your resx file which has a name of XXX.resx needs to called
Test.XXX.resources when placed inside the assembly. So...

resgen XXX.resx Test.XXX.resources

... then place Test.XXX.resources into the assembly.
