Question

In my C# application I need to create a .resx file of strings customized for every customer.

What I want to do is avoid recompiling the entire project every time I have to provide my application to my customer, so I need to dynamic access to this string.
So, how can I access (during the app execution) to a resx file if I kwow the file name only on the execution time?

Since now I write something similar:

Properties.Resources.MyString1

where Resource is my Resource.resx file.
But I need something like this:

GetStringFromDynamicResourceFile("MyFile.resx", "MyString1");

Is it possible?

Thanks
Mark

Will something like this help in your case?

Dictionary<string, string> resourceMap = new Dictionary<string, string>();

public static void Func(string fileName)
{
    ResXResourceReader rsxr = new ResXResourceReader(fileName);        
    foreach (DictionaryEntry d in rsxr)
    {
        resourceMap.Add(d.Key.ToString(),d.Value.ToString());           
    }        
    rsxr.Close();
}

public string GetResource(string resourceId)
{
    return resourceMap[resourceId];
}
