Not able to add Resx file in VS Web Solution

Question

First time ever I am using Resx file. So below steps I did till now.

Created empty Asp.net Solution.
Added a Resx file with basic name value content.
Add a web page and in code behind wrote below code:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { ResourceManager rm = new ResourceManager("UsingRESX.Resource1", Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly()); String strWebsite = rm.GetString("Website", CultureInfo.CurrentCulture); // here I get the exception String strName = rm.GetString("Name"); form1.InnerText = "Website: " + strWebsite + "--Name: " + strName; }

But when I run the code I get exception as :

   Could not find any resources appropriate for the specified
 culture or the neutral culture.  Make sure "UsingRESX.Resource1.resources"
 was correctly embedded or linked into assembly "WebApplication1" at compile 
time, or that all the satellite assemblies required are loadable and fully signed.

Tutorial I followed for this exercise: Read Resx FIle

SO solution that I tried: SO Solution

I am silly guy. I need to do I used the project name that was in the sample I was looking into. I just changed it to correct project name and it all worked. — Unbreakable, Aug 21 '18 at 16:04
My projectname is webapplication1, but I used something else in the example. — Unbreakable, Aug 21 '18 at 16:04

Try adding

var assembly = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly();
assembly.GetManifestResourceNames();

and set a breakpoint. This will list all the embedded resources. Make sure you have the correct name. Sometimes the resource paths aren't entirely obvious.

Adding this line, throws error. "assembly" is not recognized. – Unbreakable Aug 21 '18 at 14:46
I see this as output "WebApplication1.Resource1.resources" . Is this correct? – Unbreakable Aug 21 '18 at 14:50
It just has one entry. – Unbreakable Aug 21 '18 at 14:50
