Getting a string dynamically from strings resources

Question

I am working on a localised C#.NET application and we are using a strings.resx file to translate hardcoded strings in the application. I use the following code

Answer 1

There is much simpler way of doing this

 [NameOfyourResxfile].ResourceManager.GetString("String Name");

in your case

strings.resx.ResourceManager.GetString("someString");

Answer 2

I had the same problem using ASP.NET Core MVC and managed to solve it using

ResourceManager rm = new ResourceManager(typeof(YourResourceClass));
string someString = rm.GetString("someString");

Very similar to @Vlad's solution, but otherwise I had a MissingManifestResourceException

Answer 3

You can write a static method like this:

public static string GetResourceTitle<T>(string key)
{
  ResourceManager rm = new ResourceManager(typeof(T));
  string someString = rm.GetString(key);
  return someString;
}

And call anywhere:

var title=  GetResourceTitle<*YouResourceClass*>(key);

It is useful when you want to have a generic function to get String of any Resource file.

Answer 4

A little searching did the trick. I have the right ResourceManager available in my strings class:

ResourceManager rm = strings.ResourceManager;
string someString = rm.GetString("someString");

Answer 5

ResourceManager.GetString should do.

Stripped down example from MSDN:

ResourceManager rm = new ResourceManager("RootResourceName",
                                         typeof(SomeClass).Assembly);
string someString = rm.GetString("someString");
