How to access another assembly's .resx?

I have an assembly which contains, among other things, a Messages.resx which contains strings of GUI messages such as Yes, No, OK, Cancel, Open, etc. My project references this assembly. How can I use them?

In the resource editor just mark the resources as public. By default the access modifier is internal. Then you can use it normally.

If making it public is not an option then use InternalsVisibleTo assembly level attribute.

Use ResourceManager Class

  // Retrieve the resource.
  ResourceManager rm = new ResourceManager("Messages" ,Assembly.Load(assemblyPath));
  string greeting = rm.GetString("Greeting");

Hope this helps
