Get and Set values in local resource file

I have put 2 strings in the built-in resource file of my main project (not sure how I define this properly). How can I access these values? How would I change them? The resource is public so that the user can change them.

eg: 

Project1.Resources.Get("string1").Value();

and

Project1.Resources.Set("string1") = "whatever";

This is pseudo code.

You can get resource by writing the following piece of code

    Project1.Resources.String1

You can not change it at runtime.

Resources are not intended to be changed at runtime. You should consider using user settings instead. For details, see Using Application Settings and User Settings on MSDN.

This will allow you to use the designer to build the settings, and write:

string string1 = Properties.Settings.Default.String1;

And:

Properties.Settings.Default.String1 = "whatever";
Properties.Settings.Default.Save();
