Hi Ian, what's about something like that? Giving the following resource files
Global.resx Another.resx ... .resx we could have a separate resource manager for each resource file, solving also the problem with VS.NET: using System.Reflection; using System.Resources; using System.Globalization; namespace NAnt.Core.Util { /// <summary> /// Provides resource support to NAnt assemblies. This class cannot be inherited. /// </summary> internal sealed class ResourceUtils { #region public fields public static readonly ResourceManager Global; pubilc static readonly ResourceManager Another; ... #endregion public fields #region private fields private const string GlobalResx = ".Global"; private const string AnotherResx = ".Another"; ... #endregion private fields #region private constructors static ResourceUtils() { Assembly assembly = Assembly.GetCallingAssembly(); Global = new ResourceManager(assembly.GetName().Name + GlobalResx, assembly); Another = new ResourceManager(assembly.GetName().Name + AnotherResx, assembly); ... } private ResourceUtils() {} #endregion private constructors } } To get localized strings, one should write something like this: string str1 = ResourceUtils.Global("NA1001_AnErrorMessage"); string str2 = ResourceUtils.Another("AnotherString"); string str3 = ... What do you think about? j3d.
