Referencing resource files from a razor view

I use ASP.NET Internationalization from Code52 at http://code52.org/aspnet-internationalization/ which uses (language) resource files.

From my controller I reference the string I want like this 

ViewBag.Message = Language.Index_Title;

Is it possible to reference the values directly in the (razor) view? Something like this: @Resources.Language.Index_Title;

Modify your Resource file in properties in Custom Tool you have to add the value "PublicResXFileCodeGenerator" as well as in your view you can use the resource file.

In your web.config you have the "Pages" section... there you need to add your Resource namespace... that way you don't need to declare it in every page using "using".

<pages>
  <namespaces>
    <add namespace="System.Web.Helpers" />
    <add namespace="System.Web.Mvc" />
    <add namespace="System.Web.Mvc.Ajax" />
    <add namespace="System.Web.Mvc.Html" />
    <add namespace="System.Web.Routing" />
    <add namespace="System.Web.WebPages" />
    <add namespace="Your.Resources.Namespace" />  <!--ADD THIS LINE-->
  </namespaces>
</pages>

Then, assuming your resource file is called "Language", in your Razor view you use:

@Language.Index_Title

Try @ViewContext.HttpContext.GetGlobalResourceObject(classKey, resourceKey) . Hope this helps
