Getting values from my resource after publishing.

Question

Hello.

I want to get a value from my resx file.

In my project, I use 2 approaches to get the value:

1.

ResourceManager resourceManager = new ResourceManager("My_Resource_Path", Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly());
string value = resourceManager.GetString("key");

2.

string value = GetGlobalResourceObject("resource_name", "key").ToString();

I have a resx file. and the property "Build Action" set to Embedded Resource.

My problem is that when I publish my project it doesn't work. (because GetGlobalResourceObject retrieves resources from a global .resx file which is not generated, because my build action property set to embedded resource and not to content.

@Maor kam , I recommend that you used System.Resources.ResourceReader to read the resource file after publishing.

You can refer to the following steps to do it.

First, Please create a folder and add the resource file to the folder in your project.

Second, Please change Build Action to Content.

Third, we could use the following code to access the resource file after publishing.

  private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)  
        {  
            string paath = AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory + @"Data\ExampleResources.resources";  
            MessageBox.Show(paath);  
            var rr1 = new System.Resources.ResourceReader(paath);  
            foreach (DictionaryEntry entry in rr1)  
            {  
                if (entry.Key.ToString()=="Greeting")  
                {  
  
                    textBox1.Text = entry.Value.ToString();   
  
                }  
  
            }  
        }  

Finally, we can see the following result:
