The System.Resources namespace provides classes and interfaces that allow developers to create, store, and manage various culture-specific resources used in an application. One of the most important classes of the System.Resources namespace is the System.Resources.ResourceManager class.
Remarks
The System.Resources.ResourceManager class allows the user to access and control resources stored in the main assembly or in resource satellite assemblies. Use the System.Resources.ResourceManager.GetObject(string) and System.Resources.ResourceManager.GetString(string) methods to retrieve culture-specific objects and strings.
