Accessing Resource File with Culture in WPF, C#

Question

I am writing an app where the textblocks can display comments in different languages. I am attempting to use "Culture" which I really don't understand.

I have followed a few videos but still get then same error message:

Here are the namespace I have added:

    using System.Reflection;
    using System.Globalization;
    using System.Resources;

I am just testing the concept out before adding the switch statement:

        CultureInfo cult = CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture("en");

        Assembly lingua = Assembly.Load("Bailing Calculator");

        ResourceManager rm = new ResourceManager("Bailing Calculator.Resources.Res", lingua);

        tbkPHDiameter.Text = rm.GetString("phDia", cult);

Am I simply not giving the correct path to the ResourceManager? Thanks for the ensuing onslaught of education!

Answer 1

Update your code to be seems like:

  CultureInfo cult = CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture("en-US");

  Assembly lingua = Assembly.Load("Bailing Calculator");
  ResourceManager rm = new ResourceManager(string.Format("Bailing_Calculator.Resources.{0}",cult.Name), lingua);
tbkPHDiameter.Text = rm.GetString("phDia");

and update the Resource File name to be your target Culture name: so the file name becomes looks like: en-US
