I added a resource file into my project, to store the caption of buttons and
labels..
How do I make use of this resource file to dynamically assign to the buttons
and labels ?

Alan,
There might be as many resources as you want with one application. the
resources can be stored in on the disk as resx files, embeded in the an
assembly, in satellite assembly, etc. I addtion any files that you want can
be added as a embedded resource to your assembly.
The resource file the windows forms form or user control uses to store
localized proeprty values is hidden by default. In order to see it click on
the "Show All Files" button from the solution explorer toolbar. Then you can
see [+] sign next to the form or user control node on the tree. Expand the
node and you'll see the resx file.
In order to read resource at runtime you can use the ResourceManager class
or alternatively you can use Assembly.GetMan ifestResourceSt ream method.
My suggestion is to turn on the localization on some test form and look at
the InitializeCompo nent method the code that VS generates.

How do I read the resource file of a Windows Form? Is that with
extension.resx ?

atomatically when localization is turned on. VS will save to resource and
generate a code for reading the values from there for any property
attributed with LocalizableAttr ibute.

Alan,
All settings in the application scope apply for all users. The
settings in the user scope are per user, thus the proeprty values can
be different depending on who runs the applciation.

Back to the settings file:
What will be the effect between using the "user" and "applicatio n" scope?
eg.
I define that as "user" scope and my user runs my application.
