resx sharing between projects

Question

I have a solution named 'mySolution' with two projects:

ProjectA
ProjectB

ProjectA contains a resource file named 'mySolutionResources.resx'.
ProjectB refrences projectA, but can't access resources in mySolutionResources.

After some research I found that: "resource classes are all marked as internal".

My question now is:

If I want to maintain only one 'mySolutionResources.resx', how can I do to get access to it from projectB? If it is not possible, is there another aproach ?

What you posted... the link in one answer simply signposts _another_ link here on SO. Really. — Grant Thomas, Sep 04 '13 at 17:02
When you have access to both projects, why don't you make the resources in `ProjectA` public? — Gorgsenegger, Sep 04 '13 at 17:02
@Gorgsenegger Tks. But how can i do it public, by default it is internal. — Juan Pablo Gomez, Sep 04 '13 at 17:06

If you open the 'mySolutionResources.resx' (in designer) and on top you will see option of Access Modifier: [Internal]. You can change this value to [Public]. This should expose the resource data to other projects if referenced.

Rather than sharing resx files, I would prefer to write code in one assembly to expose the resources externally (depending on the nature of the resources). If you don't want that 'sharing' code to be public, you could always use InternalsVisibleTo
