    <p>I've the following folder structure for three projects:</p> <pre class="lang-none prettyprint-override"><code>MyClassLibrary1 Class1.cs Resources\ en-GB\ Strings.en-GB.txt Strings.resx Strings.designer.cs (auto-generated) MyClassLibrary2 (references MyClassLibrary1) Class1.cs MyAppExe (references MyClassLibrary1 and MyClassLibrary2) Program.cs </code></pre> <p>Under MyClassLibrary1 project:</p> <pre class="lang-none prettyprint-override"><code>In Strings.resx, I've string resources defined, let's say: &lt;data name="SchoolString"&gt;&lt;value&gt;Preschool&lt;/value&gt;&lt;/data&gt; In Strings.en-GB.txt, I have: SchoolString=Playgroup </code></pre> <p>MyClassLibrary1's Project properties -> Pre-Build, I've the following:</p> <pre><code>CD $(ProjectDir)Resources FOR /D %%1 IN (*) DO ( CD "%%1" resgen.exe "Strings.%%1.txt" if %errorlevel% 0 al.exe /t:lib /culture:"%%1" /embed:"Strings.%%1.resources" /out:MyClassLibrary1.resources.dll if not exist "$(TargetDir)%%1" md "$(TargetDir)%%1" move /Y "MyClassLibrary1.resources.dll" "$(TargetDir)%%1" CD .. ) </code></pre> <p>Under MyAppExe project, in Program.cs:</p> <pre class="lang-cs prettyprint-override"><code>static void Main() { Strings.Culture = new CultureInfo("en-GB"); Trace.WriteLine(Strings.SchoolString); } </code></pre> <p>The problem is that the ResourceManager, for some reason, keeps on falling back to the default resource file (embedded in MyAppExe). Please help me understand what I am doing wrong here.</p> <p>The output I keep getting no matter what I try is "Preschool" instead of "Playgroup". It's like the satellite assembly is not being resolved at all.</p>

    1. COA satellite assembly must be present in a sub-directory of the EXE directory that has the same name as the culture. A directory named "en-GB" in your case. It doesn't look like your build event takes care of this.

    3. CO@hans-passant: Just came across this KB article - [KB839861](http://support.microsoft.com/kb/839861) - I guess I have to change to `resgen.exe "Strings.%%1.txt" "MyClassLibrary1.Resources.Strings.%%1.txt"` and also change to `al.exe /t:lib /embed:"MyClassLibrary1.Resources.Strings.%%1.resources" /out:"MyClassLibrary1.resources.dll"` for al.exe to generate the correct namespace name. I will try it tonight and see if that solves the problem.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
