I am having a problem localizing a .Net 2.0 class library.  This library is
called in a Windows.Forms application.  My operating system language is en-US.

In the class library, I have a file, Resources.resx, which is set to be
embedded in the library's dll.  This is working properly.  I can get the
default resources using this code:

           ResourceManager rm = new ResourceManager("MyLib.Resources",
        Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly());

           return rm.GetString("MyString");

This works.  The second line does return the default language value for
MyString.

The problem is, the following line also returns the default language value
for MyString:

           return rm.GetString("MyString", new CultureInfo("es-MX"));

I created the es-MX satellite assembly by placing a copy of Resources.resx
in the bin/Debug/es-MX folder under my project code and renaming it to
Resources.es-MX.resx.  I changed the value of several resources for test and
then compiled Resources.es-MX.resx using:

    resgen Resources.es-MX.resx Resources.es-MX.resources

and linked the satellite assembly using:

    al /t:lib /embed:Resources.es-MX.resources /culture:es-MX
/out:MyLib.Resources.dll

When I run the application the class library, MyLib.dll, and the folder
es-MX, containing MyLib.Resources.dll, are copied to the bin/debug folder of
my application.  The result is that in the debug folder of the application is
MyApp.exe and MyLib.dll and a folder named es-MX.  In the folder es-MX is the
file MyLib.Resources.dll.

The application calls several string properties of objects defined in MyLib.
Each of these properties returns the default language text rather than the
es-MX text even though I am passing the "es-MX" culture as defined in the
line above.

When I debug the application and step through to the line where the resource
string is being returned, I can call Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly() in the
immediate window and see that the current assembly is, as I had hoped, MyLib
and not MyApp.

Thanks in advance for any help.
