If you have multiple ".resx" files of different languages under "Properties" and dynamically change the resource file. Then you get the value of a particular key from code behind like this. You don't have to mention the ".resx" file name. It will automatically get the value from the currently set ".resx" file (culture): 

string str=[ProjectName].Properties.Resources.[ResourceKeyName]

Assume that your resource file name is "Resource.resx", and you want to pass key dynamically then,

using System.Resources;
string resVal = Resource.ResourceManager.GetString(dynamicKeyVal);

Let me know if it not works, I will work on it and will provide the appropriate solution.

Try using:

string resourceValue = HttpContext.GetGlobalResourceObject("resxFilename", "resourceKey").ToString();

You can use as following no need to create ResourceManager instance.Resource file already has inherited from ResourceManager.

string value = MyResource.ResourceManager.GetString("stringKey");

Note:MyResource is shared resource file Name.

You can use ResourceManager class:

ResourceManager myManager = new ResourceManager(typeof(MyResource));
string myString = myManager.GetString("StringKey");
