method to read resource file

what i'm trying to do is to write a method in c# codebehind to read text based on key. For now i whant to do this for only one language that's why i don't need to use System.Globalization.CultureInfo

private ResourceManager rm;
private ResourceReader rr;
public string GetCurrentLanguage(string key)
{ 
    rm = new ResourceManager("~/App_GlobalResources/textFile", System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly());
    string result = rm.GetString(key).ToString();
    return result;
}

but it doesn't work :( when i write something like litWelcome.Text = GetCurrentLanguage("Welcome"); it's returns error.

anyone have idea what's i'm doing wrong ?

Thanks for advance:)

Edited

ok i get it on my own this is a solution for my problem:

public string GetCurrentLanguage(string key)
{

    string result = Resources.textFile.ResourceManager.GetString(key).ToString();
    return result;
}

Thanks all for help:)

try :

GetGlobalResourceObject for global resources.

GetLocalResourceObject for local resources.

EX:

Button1.Text = GetLocalResourceObject("Button1.Text").ToString();
Image1.ImageUrl = CType(GetGlobalResourceObject("WebResourcesGlobal","LogoUrl"), String)

Is this line correct? 

 rm = new ResourceManager("~/App_GlobalResources\textFile"

Your edited comment shows:

file is in ~\App_GlobalResources\textFile.resx

Your slashes aren't consistent. Is this a typo in your post, or your code?
