Introduction

This snippet of code will explaing how to keep message in resource file (.resx) and then using it to show some message.

Example with code(VB.Net):

'***********************************************

' The next line is used when resource is in the same layer
' For Example: Resource.resx

'***********************************************
Dim rms As New System.Resources.ResourceManager("ResourceManager.Resource", Me.GetType.Assembly)

'Dim rms As New System.Resources.ResourceManager("common.IdMessage", System.Reflection.Assembly.Load("common"))

TextBox2.Text = rms.GetString(TextBox1.Text)

Explanation how to use above mentioned code:

The above code contains some codes as comment and others non-commented. If resource file ( say Resource.resx) is in the same layer then use non-commented codes otherwise if resource (say IdMessage.resx) is in any other layer then use commented codes.
First we will create an instance of ResourceManager class. That asks for two parameters, first is resource name with namespace and second is assembly.

Just take a button on the form and put the code in btnClick event.
Create two textBoxes, first for taking input (key value of the resource file) and seconde textbox will be used for showing the value when button is clicked.

Hope this explanation will be helpful.

Summary

Resource file is very handy if we want to show error messages if any exception occurs. Just put the Msg_string and the corresponding message.
