C#: Cannot figure out how to use resource file in project

I need to create a resource file for my projects to hold a couple of messages as strings and have tried to figure out how they work.

I've created a new resource file in "project -> properties -> resources" and created an entry with:

Name = fooBar and Value = barFoo

I can now see Resources.resx in SolutionExplorer under my project name ConsoleApplication2

This is where I've come to a stop, I can't find sufficient information on how to use my string in the project. I'd like to be able to do something like:

Console.WriteLine(Something.Something.fooBar)

What namespaces have to start at the beginning? How do I access the string within my project?

I'm using VS2013 Ultimate if that's of any importance

Get the namespace from Resources1.Designer.cs file. Add this namespace reference in your file with using statement. Then you can directly use .fooBar to get the value.

The Properties folder under your project works like a namespace, so you need to add a using or reference it as follows:

<project namespace>.Properties.Resources

Use it like this:

Properties.Resources.fooBar
