calledType.InvokeMember don't work. How to get value of resource?

Question

I try to get a value of ressource.resx and I can't.

I do :

foreach (string certif in ContactCertifications)
{
    Type calledType = Type.GetType("TestNamespace.Resources");            

    String s = (String)calledType.InvokeMember(certif,BindingFlags.InvokeMethod 

    | BindingFlags.Public |BindingFlags.Static,null,null,null);                                       }

certif = "PRG_CARTV"

calledType is : {Name = "Resources" FullName = "TestNamespace.Resources"} and when I'm in line "String s = (String)calledType" I have an error : "Method 'TestNamespace.Resources.PRG_CARTV' not found."

And when I have String s = TestNamespace.Resources.PRG_CARTV; it's work, so I don't understend..

When I do simply :

var myManager = new ResourceManager(typeof(Resources));
var myString = myManager.GetString("PRG_CARTV");

it's doesn't work, I have a error : "Can not find appropriate resources for the specified culture or neutral culture. Make sure \\ "TestNamespace.Ressources.resources \\" has been correctly embedded or linked in the assembly ..."

You have 2 problems here:

1) Getting the value of a resource via reflection, I tried this one and worked:

String s = (String) calledType.InvokeMember(certif, BindingFlags.GetProperty | BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Static, null, null, null);

Note the binding flags that changed: BindingFlags.GetProperty instead of BindingFlags.InvokeMethod and BindingFlags.NonPublic instead of BindingFlags.Public

2) Issue with the ResourceManager. I myself would try to recreate the Resources.resx again. If you want to investigate further check similar problems here in StackOverflow, for example: Could not find any resources appropriate for the specified culture or the neutral culture
