You can get keyvalue from global resource here.

//TestResource is resource class name.

String keyValue=string.Empty;

keyValue= Resources.TestResource.KeyString;

There is a much easier way: Namespace.Properties.Resources.FileName -> gets the string of the file-content.

i.e.: TestProject1.Properties.Resources.MyXmlFile -> direct access to the File in the resources

public string ReadResourceValue(string file, string key)

{

    string resourceValue = string.Empty;
    try
    {

        string resourceFile = file;

        string filePath = System.AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory.ToString();

        ResourceManager resourceManager = ResourceManager.CreateFileBasedResourceManager(resourceFile, filePath, null);
        // retrieve the value of the specified key
        resourceValue = resourceManager.GetString(key);
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
        resourceValue = string.Empty;
    }
    return resourceValue;
}

In .cs file type your localization namespace:

   Localization.Resources.KeyName

ResourceManager.GetString or ResourceManager.GetStream, depending on the type of the resource.
