How to get same variable from multiple resource files

Question

I am developing a small project about using multiple language.

I have three resource files

I define enter image description here

I define enter image description here

I want to get value of each variable (btnCancel, btnLogin, lbPassword, lbUsername, ...)

Now, I do

From MainForm.US.resx, I build to MainForm.US.designer.cs (MainForm_US class)
From MainForm.JP.resx, I build to MainForm.JP.designer.cs (MainForm_JP class)
I make another class MainFormResource.cs. Here, I will check Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture.Name value
If is equal "ja-JP", I get value from MainForm.JS.designer.cs (MainForm_JP class)
If is equal "en-US", I get value from MainForm.US.designer.cs (MainForm_US class)

But if my project is large, it will take me more time to do that.

How should I do to get the value of lbUsername, lbPassword, ...?

p/s: I use Windows Form Application in Visual Studio Ultimate 2012

Have you tried reading the [documentation](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/fw69ke6f%28v=vs.140%29.aspx)? — NightOwl888, Mar 06 '15 at 09:11

When creating RESX files you only need to activate the automatic code generation on the root file (MainForm.resx in your case).

Visual Studio will generate the code which includes the usage of RescourceManager.

The satellite assemblies will also be generated automatically.

So as NightOwl888 already mentioned, you should read the documentation about using Resx files and globalization / localization features of .NET

Look at this [question](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1142802/how-to-use-localization-in-c-sharp), it should solve your general problem. – Robin Güldenpfennig Mar 06 '15 at 10:05
Re: _"The satellite assemblies will also be generated automatically."_ In my (limited) experience with satellite assemblies, that is not the case. You have to have one project per satellite assembly in your solution. – stakx - no longer contributing Mar 06 '15 at 10:28
No, the satellite assemblies containing the resources for each culture (de, en, en-US, etc.) will be generated automatically. – Robin Güldenpfennig Mar 07 '15 at 16:57
Thansk @RobinGüldenpfennig again. It works for me (above comment +1) – GSP Mar 18 '15 at 09:23
