Resource Files & globalization

[John Stemper]

Getting resource files to work with VS2002 and ASP.Net seems to be a little
flaky. I've added a resource file "strings.re sx" to the project. The
properties of the files say Build action = "embedded resource". I've added
the appropriate code to the Global.asax:

protected void Application_Sta rt(Object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Application["CM"] = new
ResourceManager ("strings",Asse mbly.GetExecuti ngAssembly());
}

I've added the following code to my app:

ResourceManager rm = (ResourceManage r) Application["CM"];
dgResults.Colum ns[1].HeaderText=rm. GetString("Name ");
This builds fine but when I try and run it I get the error:

"Could not find any resources appropriate for the specified culture (or the
neutral culture) in the given assembly. Make sure "strings.resour ces" was
correctly embedded or linked into assembly "AppName". baseName: strings
locationInfo: <null> resource file name: strings.resourc es assembly:
AppName, Version=1.0.143 1.19005, Culture=neutral , PublicKeyToken= null "

Any suggestions or good articles would be appreciated.
Thanks
