In VisualStudio 2019 in an asp.net core 3.1 webSite project (using Globalization), I faced this issue when I used an existing resource file.

To solve the issue:

  1. Created a new Resource.resx. (Using Add>New Item...>Resorce File.resx .
  2. Copy all contents of the first file in the new file (Copy all three columns).
  3. Delete the old file.
  4. Rename the new file to the intended name.

It worked for me. I wish it works for you too.

Try to install .NET Framework 4.7.2 Developer Pack. It is needed only for compilation.
