I found a free program on the web that was .NET 4.0, but had to copy over the code to compile VS2008. I’m thinking the way cultures is handled must be different in the versions of .NET.
I’m getting this error:
System.Resources.MissingManifestResourceException: Could not find any
resources appropriate for the specified culture or the neutral
culture. Make sure “A.B.C.Resources.ExceptionMessage.resources” was
correctly embedded or linked into assembly “A.B.C.csproj” at compile
time, or that all the satellite assemblies required are loadable and
fully signed.
It’s a C# .dll (class library), and I’m calling it from a Console Program.
It does have a strong-key file assigned to it.
It’s blowing up on any statement like this:
return ResourceManager.GetString("XYZ");
It looks like all the resources are in English, and that’s the only language I need.
I’m just looking for how to avoid the exception.
When I copied over files, and rebuilt a new VS2008 project, there was no hierarchical relationship in Visual Studio Solution Explorer for the resource file. For example, ExceptionMessage.resx and ExceptionMessage.Designer.cs were at the same level; whereas normally the Designer.cs file is indented under the .resx file. I’m not sure what that happened.
So what I did was create a new .resx file, and carefully copy over using NotePad and filemerge programs, pieces of the .resx file and .cs file. Then it worked fine.
I’m still not absolutely sure what the problem was, but I know this fixed it. Lost about 5 hours today on this issue.
