Resource File Woes

[TCook]

Hey All,

I'm trying to add a resource file to my app but it's not working.

I have done the following:

-- Added a .resx file
-- Added some strings
-- Named the file "MyStrings.en.r esx"
-- Add the file as a resource to the "Project" "Properties " "Resources"
-- Tried to call the strings using:
Dim rm As ResourceManager
rm = New ResourceManager ("StringTabl e", Me.GetType().As sembly)
MessageBox.Show (rm.GetString(" String1"))

Clearly I'm missing something. How do these .resx files need to be added in
order to work properly?

I've looked at the documentation online and I don't see it.

Please advise.

Thanks,

TC

Why aren't you using 'My.Resources.* '?

Hey Herfried,

Thanks for the info. Now I see!

I added the strings under the project properties and Voila!, I could call
the data in code via intellisense.

However, the above said, what about all of this stuff:



Dim rm As ResourceManager
rm = New ResourceManager ("StringTabl e", Me.GetType().As sembly)

Message = New StringBuilder()
Message.Append( rm.GetString("S tring1"))
Message.Append( rm.GetString("S tring2"))


Where does code like the above come into play?

Regards,

TC
