Hi, i am developing a website and a dll .... in the App_GlobalResources directory are some .resx-files.... which filename i know. I want to use them in a dll which is in the bin-directory? how can i do that? thanks, alex Hi Alexander > i am developing a website and a dll .... in the App_GlobalResources > directory are some .resx-files.... which filename i know. > I want to use them in a dll which is in the bin-directory? > > how can i do that? Mark "Build Action" in the Properties of the resx file to "Embedded Resource". You can seee a screenshoot of the propertie window here: - http://aspnet.4guysfromrolla.com/articles/080906-1.aspx  SignatureGruss, Peter Bucher Microsoft MVP - Visual Developer ASP / ASP.NET, Switzerland http://www.aspnetzone.de/ - ASP.NET Zone, die ASP.NET Community http://www.aspnetzone.de/blogs/peterbucher/ - Auf den Spuren von .NET Hello Peter Bucher [MVP], > Hi Alexander > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > You can seee a screenshoot of the propertie window here: > - http://aspnet.4guysfromrolla.com/articles/080906-1.aspx I think what he's trying to do is to use the resources in the website project in a project that is referenced by the website project. So basically with a solution liek this: + solution |- Project1 |- Website |- References | |- Project1 |- App_GlobalResources |- Resource.Resx And now he wants to access the resources in App_GlobalResources from sources inside Project1. The official word on this is that it cannot be done. My guess is that using some creativity in the way you instantiate your resourcemanager woudl actually get it to work, but I cannot guarantee that it will stay that way. The ResourceManager constructor get's an Assembly and a Resource name. For the assembly try using Assebly.GetExecutingAssembly which with a bit of luck resolves to the assembly in which the resource file was compiled. As name for the resource... I'm not sure what the full name will be. You could try using Lutz Roeder's Reflector to see how the compiler actually named it. I'd guess something like 'WebSiteProjectsName.App_GlaobalResources.Resource.Resx.recource'. From there you can use the GetString method of the Resource Manager to access strings in the resource file. A better solution would be to add a project to your solution which contains the resources. Then use those resources from both the project and the website. + solution |- ResourceProject | |- Resource.Resx |- Project1 | |- References | | |- ResourceProject |- Website |- References | |- Project1 | |- ResourceProject |- App_GlobalResources Jesse Hello Peter Bucher [MVP], > Hi Alexander > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > You can seee a screenshoot of the propertie window here: > - http://aspnet.4guysfromrolla.com/articles/080906-1.aspx I think what he's trying to do is to use the resources in the website project in a project that is referenced by the website project.
